r/Fable

This just arrived today! Seen some people recently posting their own, I’m not that talented so this was bought but I love it 😁

We know Fable 1 takes place in a sort of middling age between the fall of the Old Kingdom, some high medieval age after it and then a recession we find ourselves in, where there is no centralized government or monarchy, and the land seems dominated by rural living.

But the map of the place makes you feel like there are many places we do not see in-between game locations (for natural reasons of course).

I just imagine a few more cities like Bowerstone or large townships to exist without needing to go to Samarkand.

This is where I wish I was an artist and could do an OC for my own.

I love lions, but I don't wanna be a rip off of Thunder, otherwise a lion knight of strength would be awesome with proficiency for fire spells. Silver armour with lion or eagle theme, greatsword and a small crossbow strapped on my lower back for back up.

I'd go by the name "Solar".

I remember loving Thunder's armour as a child and still do but the man was insufferable. From day one he berates and mocks us and is so insecure about our every accomplishment, having this transparent need to be the bestest and greatest. I'm an orphan who had his village slaughtered before his eyes man, why are you trying to one-up me? He goes to the length that he reprimands kids for having us as their favorite Hero. And whether we spare or kill Whisper he has a grudge big enough to fight us.

Whisper for that matter was quite alike her brother. The first and only time she refers to us as anything but "farmboy" is when we defeat her at the Arena and she begs for her life and invokes our "friendship", but she was little better than Thunder. She acted superior to us all our childhood and rookie-hero days and like we barely belonged in the Guild and now that you fear me, now it's "hero" is it?

Recently got a tattoo to pay homage to my favorite game of all time! Had to get something to prepare for the upcoming release!

I liked the demo quite a bit, i see no point in praising the good stuff, no doubt it's been praised more than enough here.

All my criticism comes down to the animation work.

1: lip sync animation need work. I feel everyone who watched it pointed it out.

2: No door-opening animation. Playing back, this really feels like an alpha build -instead of a game that's 7 months away - the way the door magically opens for him. hope they fix it.

3: slightly stiff character animation. This wasn't bad, I just feel it needs a bit more variation, all characters stand and move around stiff while they talk to you. Maybe introducing a few more hand gestures, swaying etc

4: Over-used hand stretch animation. If I'm correct, the main character did this exact animation more than 5 times in this demo. I hope they add some variation.

I'm not sure if 6-7 months is enough to add a lot more animation work, but I hope so

Made the sky a rainbow :)

Part of an ongoing side project I have where I'm experimenting with adding in modern shaders (an unserious project for fun), as I love Fable 3 and want to give the game some love.

This modify's the game's actual shader files, so it does not require injecting into any graphical api. I'm using DXVK myself, as d3d9 has some issues on my pc. The tooling I made runs on hopes and dreams, and I'm decompiling the shaders with HlslDecompiler (which is far from perfect), recompiling with x86 fxc.exe.. but it works!

Starting to learn how to fix electronics, my first success was an original crystal xbox and when I fired it up I was pleasantly surprised to see fable!

My man went full Palpatine

Just completed Anniversary. Haven't played in 20 years since I first beat Jack in the original on Xbox.

What a trip.

Played as a Slayer class throughout, so stats are as max as they can be (besides Guile, I have no use for).

I wasn't supposed to be evil, just the way things turned out...

Also, do we think there will be any exclusives at Gamescon? I was so desperate to go, but I'm not well enough, I really don't want to miss out as the Fable franchise are my all-time favourite games!
