Fable: The Rings of Power

@Roguey do you know something we don't?

@Roguey do you know something we don't?

No, I just think it's funny how the male PC walks like a woman.

In RPGs from well over a decade ago it was the other way around, female PCs walking and running like a man.

[DecadeRiptide]

It looks like a game made for girls. Like the Sims or Hogwarts Legacy or something

I think the recent Xbox showcase presented some of the biggest female square jaws in history

Another HR department victory.

I remember that Pokemon-alike, Palworld, had that too. The walk animation was only a bit fruity, but there was also a starting cutscene where the protagonist makes a girly little pose that was obviously only ever playtested with a female character. Degenerates.

Apparently lots of black people crave rpgs like this nowadays. The market demands it!

Yes. Big, tough RPGs, like Fable, that are known for thoughtful systems.

I don't understand how this has anything to do with Fable, aside from being a fantasy game with Marvel-tier "humor". A concept so overdone it's ridiculous. The original Fables were tongue and cheek at times, but they still dealt with serious themes and had an exaggerated aesthetic that this deboot clearly doesn't have. Well, aside from the goblina of course. It's just yet another brown and gay AAA game that might as well have been called "Castles & Lizards" or something.

Past is prologue:


If they can fix the framerate issues before shipping, this could turn out better than Demonstone.

[Vaako]

Doubt you can even attack none hostile npcs in this. And even then the combat looked so *** in this. Doubt they even still have the combo xp multiplier in this, which could be exploited quite a lot with the shield spell especially at the hob cave and the graveyard to max out everything. Nowadays they would probably call that unbalanced and thats why games arent fun anymore. Also wouldnt be surprised if that game ends up being a win11 and xbox exclusive.

Seems like the tourists and libtards are doing the whole "Fable was always woke" argument like expected. I won't deny that the OG games had a left-wing slant but there's a huge difference between Fable 1 and Fable 4. For example the two ******* in the OG were explicitly described in the lore as being from a shipwreck and foreign to Albion. You could also kill both of them if you chose. Also the second game had quite a few mechanics that weren't woke and would be seen as problematic like how being overweight or having tattoos made your character less attractive to others. The revisionist history that we see thrown around whenever an old IP gets hit with the DEI stick is so tiresome.

Fable 1 was not woke, I wouldn't say. Perhaps it had some liberal design choices, but not woke. Woke requires, in my opinion at least, intent.

Fable 2, was not all that woke. There are some questionable design choices, such as the Hero of Strength being a bulldyke.

Fable 3 is when it starts to become a little questionable.

However, 'Fable' is pozzed, through and through.

At least San Andreas' system had stat deterioration, so numbers went up and down. Back to hating all GTAs forever.

Normies have conformed to gta. The only reason White kids might have a shot today, is because God intervened and broke the gta cycle for fifteen years.

Gta is absolute goy poison, designed to be consumed as a joke and take over your brain.

Yes, but they have to actually be woke, and not just deviant.

gay marriage in albion is woke

I understand the sentiment but if you take that hard-line approach to everything then almost every RPG or JRPG is woke. FF7? Cloud dressed as a woman so woke. Kotor? Woke because Bastila is a girlboss and there's a gay romance. The list goes on and on. I just don't think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater here. I'd rather push back and see a series redeemed then just abandon it for the **** to co-opt.

[rusty_shackleford]

the main problem with fable is it's not good

[RangerBoo]

Yep! About what I expected. This game really does look and feel like most of the dev team were liberal white women.

It's like the twisted monkey paw.

"Oh, you wished for a mostly white dev team... here you go... muahahahaa"

Some things are more obvious than others. It is hard to discriminate between what is woke, and what is just liberal deviancy, because the latter was just the vanguard for the former.

Are they the same? Maybe.

Enjoy the things you're nostalgic for while recognizing that they have woke elements and demand none in the future. You don't need to do mental gymnastics to try to label something as non-woke when it clearly is. There's nobody on this forum who doesn't like a piece of media with abhorrently evil real-life political messaging in it and there's no transnigger who doesn't like something cool and good.

Fable 3 is when it starts to become a little questionable.

I thought Fable 3 was woke (it's the only entry I've played) and I didn't even ID as remotely right-wing when I played it.

Do Fable 1 and Fable 2 allow for character customisation visually? I know one has you play as a child - which one is it? (so I can skip)

You play briefly as a child in both 1 and 2. You can change your haircut, tattoos, and body shape. But not your face. You can play a woman in Fable 2.

I never played Fable, so I don't have a dog in that fight. But generally speaking, this such a disingenuous argument. It's just another version of the leftist gaslighting stance "[Insert franchise here] was always woke, chud!" as a way to justify woke ****.

Treating modern, pervasive, systemically & ideologically driven content as the same phenomenon as isolated or incidental elements in older media is dishonest. Or at best it's coming from a zoomer who has no concept of what things were like before the last 15 years.

I sometimes think this reaction comes from a kind of subconscious defensiveness. Acknowledging that something meaningful was changed or lost before they became aware of it would force zoomers to confront that loss, the loss of a sane world that zoomers will never get to experience, so it is easier to believe that nothing fundamentally changed in the first place.
