Any known similarities to the old games?
This is not a negative post. I’m an enormous fan of the series and am not yet as hyped for the new game as I want to be and am hoping you can help. I’m struggling because there’s part of me that wonders if it’s just a generic fantasy game that’s cashing in on beloved IP. The trilogy was revolutionary in its time but now there are TONS of slice-of-life open world fantasy games so I’m hoping this one will feel unique, especially since I love Fable so much.
I know the new game will take place on a “different planet” and therefore won’t have direct connections to the trilogy. It also won’t have beloved features like morality morphing. I could be ok with that but what makes it a Fable game?
Do we know if there are Hobbes or Balverines? A similar magic system or hero lore? Possibly a guild? Or is it mostly just supposed to capture the British humor and fairy tale/high fantasy vibe?
