I am not going to force my thoughts onto you. I will voice my opinion though, if you call that aggressive then so be it. Fable wont get far without Molyneux unless Microsoft creates a 343 out LIonhead, becuase he's the brainchild. Lionhead will share the same fate as Rare, thats why I used them as an example. A round table of key talent will be gone after the Kinect game is gone. Microsoft can replace them, but seriously, Fable was molyneux's promise to gamers since last generation which he constantly failed. This is where marketing is more powerful than the product itself. Fable cannot stand with the top WRPG's  this gen in my opinion, but if you liked it I leave you to it. Enjoy the franchise for what its worth to you.


i really liked molyneux in the past and his new stuff will be maybe cool as well but i see not much in fable 2 or 3 which a company would need him for in fable 4. the idea how fable works is there, new designers/developers/whatever could easily build a new fable with the concept and put some own ideas in it. i really don't see fable geting worse as it went with fable 3 without molyneux. i would even say it could get better now. not metascore 92+ better but metascore 85+ shouldn't be a problem for a decent team and enough time. it has to be hard to work under molyneux and his "visions" all the time. i don't want to know how many times he says something like "so we did that the last weeks but i dreamed of something else, screw it and start with that now" or something like that haha. maybe they can work "free" now not with that mastermind knowing everything better even if some might have great ideas in that company.

and maybe some other wrpgs's are better (i like skyrim a lot more as example) but fable is something differen't. i like fable because it's fable. many who like fable and bought not only one fable (which they would have if they wouldn't have liked the first or second one) think the same. i have no real alternative for fable on consoles (maybe for wii no clue).

millions like fable, even if it's objectively not as good as other games and with fable 3 a disappointment for many. it has a lot of fans and that's why they could make good money with fable 4 and that's why i can see them developing fable 4 anytime soon. i'm not saying it will happen, only i think chance is bigger than no new fable next gen.
