Fable

[A Black Falcon]

How about my complaint about how they handled the player character story conversations? I know it's minor but it bugged me...

The Dantooine screenshots would go partway towards doing that, okay, and if it was systematic on their part they shouldn't have. But I wouldn't take that city shot that way. Sure there aren't open areas that large, maybe, (though in total surface area there surely are) but there are plenty of good sized areas in the cities...

As for cities as I said I think the problem was that they saw that this was a console game and console gamers expect a sort of progression where you go from town to town instead of having one big city and the rest being smaller towns (note that this doesn't preclude a weapons upgrade curve -- just put better stuff in the shops in the city later in the game.). And it ended up with instead of having one great city and a bunch of interesting towns a bunch of relatively bland and lifeless towns that only differ from eachother in graphics to a large degree. I want, and expect, personality! The repetitive use of the same graphics over and over in each area sure doesn't help either... I guess that they didn't learn much from 'repetitive graphic look' being a major complaint about NWN...
