Fable Reboot Wishlist: 5 Things We Want (And 5 We Don't)

5. Don’t: An Over Reliance On The Series Tropes

Fable 4
Lionhead Studios

The game trilogy was excellent if a little declining in quality as it went along. Each game seemed to have elements from it that were familiar, and whilst this was nice, they eventually began to divulge less into familiarity and more into tropes.

For example, each game featured a battle arena concept, and whilst the context changed every time, it was purely a new paint job on a pre-existing idea. Things began to be included seemingly more because they were features of the previous games rather than for player experience.

These tropes are something that could come up again in the new version of Fable and either feel nostalgic or cheap. Unfortunately predicting how this will feel is impossible as gamers won't know until they have tried the title.

With the game being created by a new studio, it is hoped that the tropes of the series will become either non-existent or loving homages to the previous instalments.
