Fable 4 Officially Announced: 10 Things To Return The Series To Greatness
2. More Customisation Options
Anyone who’s played this series knows how dire the customisation situation was in every single instalment. Ugly hairstyles, facial hair, tattoos and clothes dominated each game.
None of the casual clothes are nice bar the original outfit your character is given (which you will probably end up wearing for the entire game). None of the armour sets are interesting. The hairstyles are all blocky and horrible (yes, they’re old-ish games, but they were still horrible). The dye system barely worked and there just weren’t enough options to make your character feel like yours. There was also micro-transaction drama back in the 2010 days of Fable 3 where you had to buy the dye pack with black in. None of your clothes - or your hair for that matter - could be black unless you forked out cash for dye DLC. It was bad.
A way to fix this would be to go fully customisable and have a character creator. The hero is yours to shape, so it would make sense to be able to spend hours on a creation screen altering the height of their cheekbones. And this kind of thing is pretty common in RPGs these days.
