A brand new video has been released for Fable, giving a look at an early quest in the game set in the capital city of Bowerstone. One of the first things we learn is that Bowerstone is home to 400 NPCs, each voiced and with their own routines including jobs, families, homes and hobbies. Every single one of these NPCs is someone you can interact with as the player. That is just the start.
There are 130 homes in Bowerstone and 30 businesses, all of which can be bought as long as you have the gold. You can enter all of the buildings in Bowerstone too. The quest sees the player character searching for and entering the Heroe’s Guild, where Humphrey the Golden lives. In this section, you see how choices work and the consequences they lead to. There is also the moment where the character has their own documentary style commentary to give us insight into the story. The next moment sees the main character enter into combat against some thugs, with the footage showing a mix of melee and magic combat.
The skill tree is shown too and you can see there are a lot of skills to unlock. Points are unlocked through completing deeds in the world. You can upgrade weapons using charms though that is not shown in the footage. The demo is being played on one the higher difficulties making combat much more dangerous, meaning players have to use a wide range of skills to successfully beat enemies. The footage shows a mix of using melee to attack plus to block, a use of a bow and arrow to attack from range, and a blades spell that can hit multiple enemies at once.
Fable will be launching on February 27th for PC, Xbox Series XS, and PS5.
