10 Things You Didn't Know About Fable

10 Things You Didn't Know About Fable

This is when Kishibe Rohan realises that this story, being told to him by the man himself, is impossible. He is dead. Or, should be. And that’s when he reveals that he is alive and well, because he is the same as he has always been: a cheat, with zero empathy for those around him. He used his vast wealth and his legion of servants to quite literally have someone else take his place, forever. The one that has seemingly acted as a corn magnate (sorry I cannot get over this) for years and raised his young daughter is actually a servant that has undergone plastic surgery to look like his master, and the master did the same so he could blend in amongst the servants: a trick so intricate it even had the stupid psychic Stand curse fooled. I also have no doubt that this is where Hideo Kojima gleaned Metal Gear Solid 5 ’s big twist f

Playground Games shouldn't rush Fable, of course, but it also can't afford to take forever to release the reboot. There's big next-gen competitors on the way that the old school Fable will have to stand up to. Obsidian Entertainment, often acknowledged as a master of RPGs, has Avowed coming to Microsoft platforms down the line. Elden Ring is sure to be another competitor to Fable whenever it releases, drawing in fantasy fans who prefer darker tones. As much as the Fable 2 recompile IP deserves a comeback, the near future is also a difficult time for it to do so. One of the best ways it can undercut these competitors is by coming out ahead of them if possi

One of the staples of the Fable games is the Demon Doors which, to be opened, require certain challenges to be complete. These vary from boss fights to riddles to your level of corruption, a karmic weight not unlike Fallout's .

As such, it's been a little while since the franchise's last outing. Even so, there's plenty of facts that may have slipped by the radar way back when the series was in its hay-day, so here are ten things that you may not have known about this Xbox RPG.

The last anyone's seen of the game was a gameplay showcase in 2019, but little word on when the game will be done has come from the studio in quite some time. Ubisoft has plenty of other games already confirmed to be showcased, so, unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's much new information about Beyond Good and Evil 2 at E3 2

While the quest objective may seem simple, getting the Tangy Berry itself is a different story. They can only be obtained from the rare and difficult-to-defeat Golden Seedling enemy. Players can also buy them from a vendor in Metal Island, but this area isn't typically accessible until near the end of the game. Upon this quest's completion, Team Snakemouth will receive the recipe for the Tangy Carpaccio, which heals the entire party for 12

The player can start "My Speciality" as soon as Team Snakemouth reaches Defiant Root and unlocks one of the best healing items in the game. In order to complete the quest and unlock the recipe, players must deliver a Tangy Berry to

Considering how important it is that Fable releases on time, it's interesting to compare its theoretical release schedule to some other games. The best possible example is The Elder Scrolls 6, which Bethesda says won't release for many years. That makes it strange and surprising that Bethesda took the time to confirm the game already. Sitting on the public knowledge of The Elder Scrolls 6 without addressing it at all seems like a surefire way to make fans impatient for n

Also formerly known as Project Athia , Forspoken is a new IP being developed exclusively for the PlayStation 5 by Luminous Productions and published by Square Enix. While Square Enix has a show, it has already been pretty clear about what exactly it'll be showcasing. While there's definitely room for surprises, because of Forspoken 's existence as a PS5 exclusive , it doesn't seem like the title will be making an appearance. Sony has been notably absent from E3 for a few years now, but the company often times does its own events during the summer. It's much more likely that Forspoken will make its next appearance during a PlayStation event than at E3 2

With the added weight and ugly outfit, go to the door located near the lake. It will be so repulsed by how the protagonist looks that it'll open. It just goes to show that being in incredible shape like most of gaming's best heroes doesn't solve everyth

Beyond Good and Evil 2 has become something of a white whale for gaming fans. Every so often, Ubisoft shows some footage or gives a development update on the project, and then it disappears for sometimes years at a time. While it's unclear exactly when its development started, Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been in the works for well over ten years at this point but still seems far from being finished. With the September 2020 departure of its director Michel Ancel as well as accusations of abuse in the workplace, Beyond Good and Evil 2 still appears to be struggling in its developm
