Fable 4 Officially Announced: 10 Things To Return The Series To Greatness

10. Bring Back The Heroes

The original Fable (and its re-release as The Lost Chapters) is considered the best game in the series by a country mile, and it’s no doubt down to its engaging premise and setting in the Guild of Heroes. Unfortunately, the enormous time jump between Fable and Fable 2 meant the Guild had been destroyed and heroes were essentially extinct.

But what made Fable such a promising concept was the Guild itself. Being nurtured from childhood by the teachers at the Guild and growing as a warrior; interacting with other heroes from both the past and present; taking quest cards to prove your worth (or prove your villainy if you so wished).

Such a charming idea was what made the game special, and it’s completely missing from later instalments. The guild itself doesn’t have to be brought back exactly as we remember it, but some return to the idea of heroes in training rather than just an underdog who rises as a hero because of “fate” would be a great return to what made the game a classic.
