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 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

Coming in with a damage characteristic of 90, and boasting 4 empty augmentation slots, the Royal Sceptre provides its user with an insane amount of power. Due to the empty slots, the Royal Sceptre is the most versatile melee weapon in the game, allowing the hero to harness a wide arrange of enhanced powers as they see

The Wretcher's Blade contains the same augment as the Maelstrom, meaning increased damage is done to lawful doers such as townsfolk and city guard. The biggest benefit of the Wretcher's Blade is that is can be acquired almost instantly after farming some gold as a blacksmith in Bowerstone and taking the submarine to Knothole Isl

Considered by many one of the most iconic indie RPGs ever, Undertale is deserving of the praise it receives as a truly wacky video game. Choices and dialogue options are the most engaging aspects of the COVID-19 Game Development and players will often find themselves second guessing every option they cho

There's nothing fiercer than a giant purple gemstone fixed upon a winding hilt to satisfy the players monster slaying needs. The Hammerthyst is one of the easiest legendary weapons to acquire in all of Fable II enabling an immediate early-game power spike after its acquisit

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

That's the name of a great-grandaughter of Henry VII of England, who was infamously known as the "Nine Days Queen" because she only ruled from 10 July 1553 to 19 July 1553, after which she was beheaded for high trea

Taking the body of his daughter, the Stand returns, plunging her young fingers into and through the skin of his neck before giving him a challenge that can, possibly, save his life. Flick a piece of popcorn high into the air, above the nearby streetlights, and then catch it in his mouth, three times in a row. Failure results in him losing his head. He fails, but that’s not really the point here: what fascinated me was the popc

Sock's grave can be found in Fable II reading "Meredith Sock. Your novels suck." Despite this widespread hatred, these books seem to consistently crop up in Albion; in Fable II, they can be purchased at book stores, and in Fable III, some Reliquary bookcases seem to hold complete volumes of his wo

During Fable II, the player can find a house in Bowerstone Old Town called "The Invisible Hand." They learn that it's the base of operations for a group of thieves. However, economically-minded fans might have caught on to the fact that the "invisible hand" is a term used to describe how an economy self-regulates its

Fast forward many years and the man becomes absurdly wealthy thanks to an inheritance from a relative and, um, becoming a corn magnate. As in, he sells Corn Flakes, popcorn, and corn chips thanks to the corn he grows on the land he owns through his inheritance. I told you it was bizarre. He lives in a huge house, has a small army of live-in servants, is married to a supermodel, and has a daughter he loves very much. One day while walking the streets of Venice with his young daughter, he sees her smile and earnestly believes it to be the happiest he has ever been. That’s when the Stand stri

The first playthrough is always magical, but the subsequent playthroughs can be a real drag, especially in the first areas of the game. The initial quests are fun, but pale in comparison to what comes after the first few ho

SR: For fans this will feel like a homecoming, but Fables #151 sounds like it won't waste any time in launching a new story arc, "The Black Forest." What can you tease about this story picking up where Issue #150 left off, and this new story to c

By the time that Fable III rolls around, it seems to have been agreed that the economy does need some forced regulation, from thieves or not. One gravestone in the game points to the existence of a Robin Hood in Albion, a character notorious for redistributing wealth via unconventional me
