This trailer is really bringing out the bigots, especially in the YouTube comments. It sucks that the gaming community, literally based on having fun, can be so toxic

I played the first two games, and I watched the trailer.
What are the bigots whining about?
-oh look, there’s one down below in the comments. I’ll ask them.
BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m at work and can’t watch the trailer. What is even there to be bigoted about?
GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s a woman main character in the trailer. Some loud, annoying gamers have a problem with that. Also that she isn’t super conventionally sexy, and is a representation of an average woman. And some people are calling her trans and not in a pro LGBT way.
Someone here made a comment about sweet baby inc, which is a company that works with game studios to help encourage diversity, which is apparently the end of the world for the people who call everything new “woke” unironically

So it seems we don’t create our own hero? Which, I get that it would limit facial animations and dialogue, but becoming your own hero was such a huge part of Fable.
Anyway, it looks stunning, graphics-wise. I’m looking forward to it for sure.

Thats not how i took it. I think that hero he was referring to was actually the main villain of the series. The way he said “made all the wrong choices” was what clued me in.
themeatbridge@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I assumed that he was referencing the morality mechanic that’s been a staple of the game from the beginning. Be good, and you’re revered. Be evil, and people will fear you. Also, your looks change to match, IIRC.

Seems like they may be playing some kind of game with the language in the trailer, I’m not sure the “her” is the player character.
kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That was pretty clear. The apparent player character was a misdirect. The figure that comes in at the end seems to be the “her” referred to, and potentially the main antagonist of the game. I’m sure, just like in all other iterations, you’ll have a custom built player character of any sex/gender.

Wait, fable has a feature to create our hero? I thought the hero was predetermined. Forgive my ignorance since I only ever played The Lost Chapter. I hope MS will give fable the Halo treatment so I could play the other series too.

In Fable 2 & 3 you could select the gender of your character, but that was it. Their appearance was then shaped by your karma etc. like in the first game.
The trailers have used a female hero as the stand in, which, for some reason, people have taken to mean we don’t get to choose the gender or anything.

Looks stunning, let’s hope it is as fun as it is pretty.

What are you whining about?
hisXLNC@lemmy.world 11 months ago
For everyone that can actually read, its quite obvious what I complained about.
djsaskdja@reddthat.com 11 months ago
You can usually create your own character in these types of games.

I liked this way more than the first trailer. Looks promising!
grrgyle@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
Don’t have an Xbox but I remember these games really finally. This looks cool, but like, kind of insanely polished for a Fable game? Interested to see what the vibe of the finished game is like.

It’s be nice for social networks to have features where you can just pattern-match off of idiot dogwhistle comments like Sweet Baby and automatically block users bringing them up. I have to do it for YouTube and thankfully the incel videos have toned down a little, but every once in a while I get a “Men are OPPRESSED”.

Can you please explain what you see that makes you say that? I truly want to understand (it doesn’t mean I will agree)

What is that?
oxideseven@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Yayayyayayayyayayayay. I’m excited. The Fable games never felt truly finished and fully fleshed out, but I loved them all and played them so much.
Mango@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The first Fable seemed right and polished but just ended too soon and need some endgame challenge.
Computerchairgeneral@fedia.io 11 months ago
Fable having this realistic art style still feels weird to me, but at least it seems like they're matching the tone of the other games.
