So he pitches Santa on the idea of forming their own super team. Many elves have powers that are similar to the superpowers of Earth's Greatest Super Heroes, so why not enter the good fight with a team of their own? Unfortunately, Santa shoots down the idea, but that doesn’t stop Arvo. It just means that he has to prove his concept by running away to join the Justice League, and show everyone that his plan is a good one and he’s not a crazy-elf. His idea is sound. That’s the set-up and the story takes off from th

Western RPGs have a special place in many gamers hearts. Some grew up playing them while others got into them later in their gaming careers. It's hard to deny the alluring elements of WRPGs, from intricate customizations to the addicting gamep

It's actually the oldest recorded name for the kingdom ; merchants from (present-day) Marseilles passed through Gaul and perhaps Britannia too, and recorded the area's name as Albion. As a result, it was also almost the name for the country of Canada, too, until they changed their mi

Combining the greatest detectives in two different worlds is an exciting promise of its own, with Batman vs. Bigby! A Wolf in Gotham #1 releasing in September under DC Black Label. But since word of the confirmation first dropped, fans have had one question: is this return of Fables one last adventure... or a sign that creator Bill Willingham is bringing the series back for good? To find out what this return means for both the creators and the readers, Screen Rant was fortunate enough to speak with Willingham directly. Readers can enjoy his insights into delivering the detective story he dared dream might be possible, picking up the Fables series with original artist Mark Buckingham, linked internet page and what this new 12-issue story means for the future of Fables in our full interview be

Aurora, an island to the east of Albion, isn't considered a part of the kingdom during the first and second games. By the time of Fable III, however, the player brings them into Albion (though whether it's as an active participant or just a colony to exploit for resources, is uncle

Should you opt for a pure good and angelic route, your character will literally develop a halo as the game progresses, with NPCs reacting to you in a more pleasant manner. If you decide on an evil and diabolical route, be prepared to sprout horns instead. NPCs will want nothing to do with you, sometimes even cowering in fear as you walk by t

From major plot points to the plethora of side quests to customizing your quirky character, Fable encourages you to take the game one step at a time. In big RPGs like Fable ( the reboot is going to be something very special when it finally arrives ), the wealth of things to do can often be overwhelming at first. There is typically an inherent pressure to move the story forward. Don't be afraid, then, to step off the beaten path in order to experience this adventure the way you see

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

Albion even seems to hold claim to its very own version of the Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda. One grave in Fable III reads: "Andrzej Zamoyski 'It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.'" It's not clear who Andrzej Zamoyski is, but his quoted line is iconic from The Legend of Ze

Perhaps all the options make the game seem longer in the beginning, especially on subsequent playthroughs. Players were meant to play this game multiple times to experience the different paths. Unfortunately, that can make the intro a little boring after a wh

BW: Mark Buckingham was my chief worry about this project. I didn’t want to do it without him, but I didn’t know if he’d be available. The often-frustrating reality about our business is the best of the best artists keep pretty busy. They aren’t just sitting around waiting for me to come along, so I was plenty worried about what we’d do if he wasn’t available. And let’s be honest: Mark Buckingham is the second-best artist working in comics to

**SR: If fans have found Fables in trade paperbacks, or even the acclaimed video game, that "Issue #151" on the cover is going to seem daunting. Do you take new readers into account even more in this situation? Do the preceding books help you to draw in new audiences

If you played Fable III for the first time at a young, impressionable age and were horrified by the opening cutscene, in which an ambitious chicken leaves home to explore the city but it's implied he's killed by the ending, then there is good n
