Exclusive: FABLES Creator Talks Return & Future of Series

Once you acquire a fishing rod, you can find rippled water spots all across the lakes and ponds of Albion. Should you opt to cast your line, you are often greatly rewarded with Silver Keys, random items, and of course, f

On top of a newly revamped R&D system, being able to recruit enemies in Death Stranding could give players an added incentive to intentionally head into Mule and Demens territory. There's currently the benefit of being able to find gear and materials within those areas, but there is a point in the game where it becomes easier to simply find or make alternate routes around the enemies. So, giving players the ability to run into these enemy camps and pull a handful out to be recruited into Bridges could make the world of Death Stranding feel more alive and like the player's actions have more eff

Conversely, if you eat vegetables lying around, your character will be more agile and healthy overall. Wandering from village to village in Fable often means you will happen upon many varieties of food to load into your inventory. Be wary, because each type of food or drink can affect you differen

Silver Keys in Fable are hard to come by and are often found in hard to reach places. Silver Keys are used to open Silver Chests. These chests contain powerful items such as a special weapon or elixir. Where many games give the player an abundance of keys in order to open chests that have been strewn about everywhere, Silver Keys are a rarer item in this g

The difference between Fable and The Elder Scrolls, though, is that The Elder Scrolls hasn't gone anywhere. Even though there hasn't been a numbered single-player entry in The Elder Scrolls in ten years, Skyrim alone is so unbelievably successful that Bethesda hasn't needed to release a new game. Skyrim just keeps coming back and delivering every time. The success of The Elder Scrolls: Online should also be noted. Even though the main games haven't been updated beyond a deluge of Skyrim remasters, The Elder Scrolls is going str

BW: It does pick right up where issue 150 left off. In the first issue we meet a couple of new characters, and reconnect with some of the old and beloved ones. It follows the Wolf family, who’ve decided it’s time to move back to Bigby’s old stomping grounds (which is where the title "The Black Forest" comes from), and it also follows a Fables character we expected not to see again, as she navigates our world which used to be the mundy world, but is now a place of unleashed wild magic. The story’s about growing up, adapting to new ways, and letting go of old things that are past their t

There's clearly already a good amount of shared structure between Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain , the last Covid-19 Game Development in the series developed by Kojima Productions. However, with as much DNA as these two titles share, there is one feature that isn't common between the two that Death Stranding 2 should chan

BW: It may not be for me to say, but yes, since you asked, it is the best of all possible DCU/Fables crossovers, in my not very humble opinion. I’ve wanted to have these two characters meet for years, and finally got to write it. I don’t know if you could call it a dream come true, but it’s certainly a longstanding ambition come t

BW: Cursemas isn’t connected to Fables , it’s a standalone tale about Arvo, one of Santa’s elves who doesn’t quite fit in up at the North Pole. He’s a pooka, which is a variety of shapeshifting elf, and works in the Black Gang, which is the crew who spends the year filling the (almost infinite) coal hopper on Santa’s sleigh. They load it with lumps of coal, destined for all the bad boys and girls. It’s hard, back-breaking work. But Arvo has an idea: If there were more superheroes in the world, providing good examples for growing boys and girls, there would be fewer bad ones who only get a lump of coal for Christ

Gift-giving is a concept central to Fable. Much of the player's experience relies on relationships and how they tie into their morality level. Sure, you can burp in front of a potential romantic partner, but you can also give them a g

Buying a home in Fable is often on the back burner for many players, since it doesn't fall within the main questline. Aside from simply owning one of these homes, your can also spend more coin to upgrade its furnishings as well as adding trophies from your adventures across Albion. Keep in the back of your mind, then, the fact that you might want to save some of your money for a big purchase like this la

600Bill Willingham: I certainly hope that the excitement is there for Fables readers, new and old, and yes, I have quite a bit of excitement too. My part of the new Fables story is already done. All twelve of the new issues have been written, so I am already past the "can I do this?" stage. Now I get to experience the great part of seeing the penciled and inked pages as they come in, then relive that moment of discovery when the colors come
