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

If these people and monsters are sentient, then why haven't they yet figured out a way to leave the Land of a Thousand Fables and enter the real world? It can be assumed that since these creatures are technically illusions, they aren't conscious in the same way that most people in The Witcher universe are; however, this remains uncl

After completing Team Maki's post-game quest, Team Snakemouth will have an opportunity to spar with them and their newest member as much as they like. Team Maki is considered to be Bug Fables' true superboss , having some of the highest stats in the game. This battle between rivals will test Team Snakemouth's resolve to its

Thumbelina is a fairy tale character that can be found in the Land of Thousand Fables that Geralt will get to directly interact with, in the form of stepping on her, killing her. This is an unfortunate yet comical event that takes place in the re

To be incredibly brief, the first episode of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is about one incredibly lucky man who deserves absolutely nothing, and tells Rohan all about it whilst sat in a confessional booth. This man meets a homeless person, then promptly treats them like garbage, putting the starving man to work, and swiftly killing them with some literally back-breaking labour. The only upside to all of this is that he is now forever cursed by an antagonistic Stand that swears to take revenge at the happiest point in the man’s l

The Daichi is currently one of the best overall weapons in the Fable franchise . It has an outstanding 96 damage stat, while being lighting fast, and is equip with the best combination of augments in the game. This weapon is acquired by completing a dungeon quest-line located close to Brightwood To

Consequences exist, but unlike in Aesop’s fables, the consequences rarely fall upon those who deserve them in the modern world. They just get pushed onto others who are forced to writhe in the background, cursing those that put them there, but never seeing justice. A bizarre adventure indeed, but one that is more poignant than e

I’d like to go back to what I mentioned at the beginning of this piece. A month and a bit into Genshin and I’m still signing in on the regular. I’m dying for another Elemental Crucible-esque event where I can partner with random players and boot around some hilichurls in all-out cooperative mayhem. I know I can play the rest of the game in co-op, but again — I like the single-player parts being single-player. That’s a great thing about Genshin — it recognizes that balance between experiencing a story on your own and exploring the world around it with other people. I think that would be great for Fable in particular — maybe Bowerstone is an MMO-esque hub where you can flick a switch and all of a sudden, boom! Marketplace, flog your trinkets and bullshit for coin, the more you rip people off the better. Flick the switch back and all of a sudden, boom! NPCs are the only people bothering you, and you can just ignore them if you w

Genshin’s not an MMO either, but it does take a variety of lessons from the genre. It has shared spaces and co-op events. Its world is designed as a progression tool of its own — hard level-gating ensures that you can’t progress through the main story without becoming intimately familiar with the area it takes place in. The fact it runs on a regularly updated individual server even plays a role here — logging in and seeing I have mail from Mihoyo reminds me of the startup UI for Final Fantasy 14 or World of Warcraft. It’s a game where every day brings something new, where you can pal around with mates in multiplayer areas or become friends with new folks who seem sound. Sure, Genshin caters to a single-player experience for those who want it — but if you’re after something a bit more sociable, especially in times like these, Mihoyo’s got loads of that for you as w

Outfitting the Axe of Disharmony with the Luck and facial mapping Technology Life Augment is an absolutely nasty combo that turns the hero into a life-stealing tank, whilst doing an unruly amount of damage to anything in their p

There's a message board inside of the Land of a Thousand Fables that resemble the message boards that can be found in the real world very closely. The fact that this message board is so similar in size and shape to the one found in the main game doesn't make a lot of se
