15 Fan Demands For The Fable Reboot

4. Replayable Missions

Fable 4 world

In Fable, one of the first enemies the Hero Of Oakvale comes across is the Wasp Queen. A boss creature that's terrorizing the picnic area, this creature tests his limits almost as soon as he's left the Guild. It's never seen again, and that seems like a waste. Now, imagine if the Hero is a little lax about killing wasps during his adventures, allowing them to get stronger until a new Wasp Queen is spawned. The mission suddenly becomes available at the Map Table in the Guild Of Heroes again, and that encounter is the result of the events in the world.

This isn't the only way to make some missions replayable though. Imagine if the Hero keeps a journal of their exploits that they can read through again and wonder "What if..?" about their past. Opening that journal would allow the player to select already completed story missions and replay them, perhaps striving to complete optional objectives that were missed the first time around.

These two systems are just a couple of ideas that can be used to bring a lot more optional content to the player, as well as simulate a living, breathing world.

After hearing that you are what you eat, Mik took a good hard look at his diet and realised he might just be a szechuan spare rib alongside prawn fried rice.
