Do you think Fable will allow you to pick ur gender or have any character customization? Kinda seems like she's the main character in the gameplay, dude even mentioned "high cheek bones" unless the dialog changes in game. I like her though, she seems funny. Just saw the massive twitter thread about the character being ugly because of wokeness, my god. 

I’m pretty sure it will, gender select has been a thing in Fable since 2 so I doubt they would lock you to playing a single gender. Could be worse tho … could be an “RPG” that forces you to play a disgusting male yuck.

But this is not Lionhead Fable, this is Playground Fable.  Going in expecting it to be the same as Lionhead Fable will definitely mean you are setting yourself up for disappointment.  If I am going to take anything away from that trailer is that expecting this to play, feel, look or like Fable of old would not be the thing to expect but to believe that Payground has their own take on Fable and while they may include some aspect of the original series, it could be a totally different take. Since this is not a remaster but an original game who knows what to expect from it.  That trailer told us nothing.

Chances of seeing Hellblade gameplay??

Probably slim, or they'd have shown it during the actual showcase. Unless it's literally unchanged I suppose...idk. 

Yeah, that Hellblade trailer and even the one from last year I believe really not setting very well with me.  I still have not competed the first game because well, I got bored.  I haven't had any real reason to go back to it and though the new game visually looks great, I feel the actual gameplay just not going to hold me.  This could be MS GOD of War game but I am getting this feeling it will not come close at least gameplay wise to that experience.



I've been thinking of what kinds of mods would be cool to see in Starfield, and I thought what if someone turned one of these spaceports into Dead Space?!? That would be dope!!!





To be honest, anyone expecting Hellblade to be "Microsoft's God of War" was just setting themselves up for disappointment with unrealistic expectations based on nothing concrete, Lol. How do you go from Hellblade, a linear, high budget AA, mostly walking simulator with an emphasis on mental health, to God of War, a huge open world, 30+ hour videogame playing as a God fighting other Gods so the game is largely constant combat.

That is NOT me saying that the game shouldn't have a much improved combat system because it absolutely should as that was one of the major let downs of Hellblade I but I anticipate this follow-up even with improved combat will still largely be linear, with puzzles and a story focused on mental health again, which I enjoyed, I liked the message behind the game, I just want the combat to be better for those fighting moments.

Not to mention Ninja Theory is like half the size of Santa Monica, Lol. These comparisons often feel unfair to me, this game will be X's "Insert Game" based on nothing...Hellblade will be Microsoft's Hellblade, Lol. We already know what Hellblade is as an IP. How can you expect it to change into something completely different based on nothing, Lol.

Again, I'm not saying they shouldn't improve the combat because they absolutely should, I just don't like comparisons like this because they often come from nowhere, no statement from the developer themselves and set unrealistic expectations.

Beautiful. WRPG Box.

And I'm excited for every single one too.

Starfield in 2023, Avowed in 2024, Fable in 2025, Clockwork Revolution in 2026, The Elder Scrolls VI in 2028.

Idk when The Outer Worlds 2 will release, it would be perfect if they put it in 2027 but from what we know, it has been in development for years already so it is likely ready well before 2027, especially since Obsidian seems to want to focus on small but focused AAA RPGs rather than massive AAA RPGs. So I'm expecting OW2 will be a lot like OW1 in size but with a lot more polish, maybe a decent amount larger but not hugely.

We need another WRPG studio to fill the 2027 slot. xD



Pre-ordered the Premium edition of starfield and the controller. Re-watched the showcase again.. amazing.

I'm thinking the Outer Worlds 2 might also be in 2025 or 2026. The game have been announced in 2021, 2025 is not too close to Starfield and it is still very different from the Fable/Clockwork so should complement those year lineups without splitting fanbases between 2 closely matched titles. Also, 2028 would place Elder Scroll as a 10th gen release title which does not sound right to me, I hope that it is max 2027
