Fable Is Ditching the One Feature That Made Fable 3 An Instant Classic

What makes a fairy tale a fairy tale ? You could say it’s about clear moral lessons, or about whimsical fantasy vibes. I’d argue community is just as essential. We learn fairy tales communally — at bedtime, in a classroom, around a campfire. Sadly, Xbox’s forthcoming Fable reboot, in many ways the platonic ideal of a “fairy tale” game, will ditchthis tradition. You’re playing this one solo, folks. The original Fable checked all of the boxes of a good fairy tale: a classic good-versus-evil tale set in a high-fantasy version of Fake Britain.
