Most of time when I don't like the face of a main character I can just put a mask on, but I don't think I'll be able to mask up every single NPC in the game

I don't like this character and I don't want to play as this character

NEVER BUY ANYTHING BEFORE RELEASE AND REAL REVIEW Thanks for your attention.

i dont want play with their forced main character, i want play male pg and i want a character editor:we are in 2024 and this is one of the top Xbox IP...

So basically they are borrowing the Fable skin but it's hollow inside

i hate how every youtuber pretends to not know why we all hate this.........

I honestly thought Fable was dead, this was definitely a surprise. Looks really nice, but hard to tell if it will have the same charm in the setting and writing. As great as the MGS3 remake looks, that whole slew of Xbox game trailers was mostly pre-rendered or noticeably on-rails footage, playing it safe and showing little actual info, and people have gotten more cynical with the state of the industry in recent years. Plenty of games coming out in the mean time, I'll reserve judgement for when we get to see more or when it's actually out.

i gotta say based off the anniversary it looks better but i still prefer the old npcs over the both imo. the character does look a little better compared to the last time i saw it though

I hope that Rob Schneider doesn't sue them for using his image for the character in this game.

I'm hoping this game is actually good. I just played the first game, and I love it. I think that if the ideas and features are executed correctly, it would create one of the greatest games ever and would be an example for other games to follow.

Should have just named the game Myth, inspiration Fable.

If people would only STOP PAYING THE SAME COMPANIES and the SAME INDUSTRY that keep making sales off trash and repackaged gambling.

i dont want a character creator. if its there then it would do away with things that made fable its own thing originally. i am hoping for a male option tho. hopefully the next trailer will show off gameplay with a male character

For me personally I think this is fine and amazing however I can understand why some may be mad about this because you always got to change your character looks like hairstyles hair color (dyes in Fable 2 and 3 at least) get tattoos and can have a beard and so many more. Now I understand why some people don't want to play as a girl but in the original first game you had to play as a guy thats why I'm not all crazy about this. And back then in medieval time guys and girls didn't look nice because they didn't had the many things we have now but yet again Fable have always been fantasy and we play that to escape reality. To me never judge a book by it cover, if the gameplay is good but if the story is bad I'm still going to play it. But if the gameplay is bad but if the story is good I'm still going to play it I just like it to be both but that just me. To me it's worth a tried because you never going to really know unless you try it first and i feel like many people have forgotten that. Yes it suck you spend that much money on a video game you didn't like but what happened if you do like it unless you tried? Again this is just me but again never judge a book by it cover and never forget that other people have different opinions wherever you like it or not. And as long you have fun playing that game that is what it serves it's purpose as it is. But hey that my opinion.

Wow, Fable.

Well in terms of hate, let's start with the basics. From shallow to in depth. Shallow 1. It's a Microsoft game. Some people don't like XBOX. 2. An ugly protagonist. Sex sells as does appeal. This character doesn't make the cut physically. Personality wise she seems not that interesting yet. We don't know much about her. Like when you date, the first thing you're gonna look at is the appearance. Sounds shallow but that's how it is. In the entertainment industry, the first thing you got to understand is that we use our eyes first before we invest in most of our entertainment, so if it looks unsightly, you can most likely guarantee there will be lowered interest or investment from the get go. 3. Trailer is kinda cringe. It seems to try hard to be funny instead of being funny. (The comedy seems wack.) In depth 1. For the last few installations, Microsoft games have been struggling a tad with some of their star IPs. From Gears of War to Halo, their last few installations seem to be underwhelming or not that interesting for players. As a result to see another main IP being so heavily advertised makes players think "Why buy this game when the last few didn't seem all that good." 2. The game is gonna be potentially 100 hours considering the seemingly wide expanse of the game. However, we were shown absolutely no real gameplay. We are shown only trailers and maybe some dialogue, but not enough to actually hold anyone's interest since well...no gameplay was shown. So what is there to hold on to. 3. Now going back to point #2, the game has been unfortunately tainted by a political undertone as a result of the main character. Microsoft explicitly sent out in an article that it is going to avoid designing "cute female" characters. In short it's another way of saying, that in order to fight against perceived sexism, they are intentionally going to only make ugly or unattractive characters as a form of political statement. It doesn't help that Microsoft is heavily in deep with Sweet Baby inc, which is known for being a downturn in terms of game storytelling, ranging from Last of Us 2 to Suicide Squad kill the justice League. Specifically they seem to hold misandrist, left leaning viewpoints that overshadow the story in favor of what appears to be lecturing. Wherever you stand politically shouldn't effect a story or art of a video game. Plus no one likes being told what to do in their entertainment. Rule number 1 of entertainment: show, don't tell. More and more gamers are noticing companies blatantly trying to act like activists in areas where it doesn't fit, where their own personal biases overshadow the overall story, characterizations and yes even character appearances. The "intentionally ugly character" is usually a sign that the rest of the game may have been overshadowed by needless "messaging" or DEI enforced regulations as opposed to just making a good game about this female protagonist. Remember, it's Fable, a video game about adventuring, a series that never pulled any punches in its subject matter. Now it already looks like they are before the game is released. It's not necessarily the character in itself, it's everything else that comes along with it. Similar attitudes and patterns in entertainment are noticed in things such as Netflix Witcher, the newer Star Wars installations, Velma (cartoon), Rings of Power, the recent lore issues with Warhammer, and the forced censorship of rated M games such as Stellar Blade and the controversy of Black Myth Wukong, where ideologues are plaguing IPs both new and old and getting in the way of a story simply because those who happen to find it are desperate to force it, to the detriment of profits and consumer trust. Especially in this case, a pre established IP that already has a trilogy of games with established rules, lore and aesthetics.

its the new look, tbh it doesnt fit the fable vibe at all, i miss the old odd proportions and colors

People are literally only hating because they don't like the characters face💀. There's an open world fantasy RPG with endless choices but nope. Let's hate the whole game because of someone's face

It's a Microsoft game, so its understandable that people are expecting it to be terrible, thats what Microsoft does, and refusing to show any gameplay or go into any depth at all is conformation of this.

The reason for the hate is because of the ugly face they gave the main character. I can't believe you missed this! Lol😅

Imagine getting that annoyed at a video game 😂, nerds

I play all the Fables 1 2 3 if you cannot pick your own character then I will not be purchasing this game

This will flop!!! I played all the fables and this looks absolutely terrible.... The forced female lead character ruins it straight away... I don't mind not having customisation but i dont like not being able to pick the gender...

Because the game looks bad and the characters look awful. The only good thing about it was the voice acting

I think it looks like an absolute banger. The style is spot on for me.

If this is going to be the pre-set character for the new Fable game, then you can count me out. If these Microsoft devs thinks it is more important to knuckle under for the woke agenda, rather just by making a game with no political correctness bs in it then there is no hope for them. This will be another game flop as we saw with Saints Row back in 2022. Go Woke Go Broke!

I love everything about this new fable. Weird complaints like "western facial design" (whatever tf that means) aside 🤣 its looks phenomenal. Seriously. Some people need to go outside. Handheld gaming is a thing now

I hate making my own character in any game now, i dont want to spend any time doing it in anything i feel no attachment to any bar maybe my FF14 character. im stoked for Fable love F1&2 and playground have done amazing jobs of forza horizon

It's fable, it's going to be extremely basic like the original games were. Fable was always the most basic RPG and this'll be a prettier version of that.

For me, it's simple: if you're asking me to plunk down 60-70 bucks on a video game I'm hopefully going to spend 30-40 hours playing, I want the character I'm playing as to look good and feel exciting to play. Making 'realistic' characters typically is code for, "your male gaze is a problem I need forcibly fix, and I can't fix you, I'll fix what you're looking at." Note: men don't go out of their way to fix 'the female gaze' in Romance novels, which sell millions of volumes each year, despite women initiating 70% of all divorces, usually citing how their current man doesn't fulfill their desires anymore. If anything, we should be making design choices in games that appeal to fantasies but also praise morality, honesty, and faithfulness.

Plp are just mad because its a normal looking woman as the main character

The characters are ugly, and not in a fun or charming way. Characters don't have to be hot or even within vague beauty standards as we understand them, but the art direction and character designs are very clearly a product of online sentiments of representation for various groups and general pushback against gender expectations with grooming standards. While I generally am in favor of such themes, this is just blatant corporate pandering for a checklist that's wearing the name 'Fable' because trying to sell the idea on an original IP would make even less money. We've seen this before, it's not Fable and you need to stop waving a flag on behalf of groups that dragged this game's legacy through the mud.

People are bitching about the character 😂

Mainly because of The incel community

another game woke forced female protag. No character creator in a fable game LMAOOOOO.
