Fable Players Are Doubling Down on the Open-World RPG's Most Important Feature

From its origins, Fable has been about more than just its story, its combat, and even the quests players take on in their efforts to save the world or assist the citizens of Albion with tasks both mundane and bizarre. Unlike many other RPGs, Fable has been about creating a second life of sorts within a fantasy world where it feels like almost anything is possible—where the choices you make follow you wherever you go and ultimately determine how the road ahead is laid. Yes, its stories have had heart, its characters have had depth, and its combat has had spark, but Fable's most important feature, the part that truly makes it feel like a fantasy role-playing game, is the life it lets you build in its wonderfully whimsical world. And fans of the upcoming Fable reboot by Playground Games are once again proving that point, as they double down on their previously revealed intentions with the game.
