Fable: Pre-Alpha Gameplay

IGot a strong feeling most of the complaints about Aloy's looks are coming straight from Console Street. Meanwhile, over on PCMR Boulevard…


We have options.
Tbh they look kinda terrible and unnatural.

Man why do these companies insist in making female characters so ugly? Her design is an abomination, there is no way around it

It's fucking ridiculous, I hope we can choose another character or something or that they make a character creator, I am having Mary Jane flashbacks from Spiderman 2 here
Being in the top 1% in beauty wasn't realistic so they made her in the top 1% ugly as if that made more sense.
 
I suppose none are an improvement in your opinion?
They look unnatural, the default look ugly on certain angles, better in others.

People don't understand that the dumbass haircut is what ruin aloy face, more than some puffy checks.

I saw and edit of aloy in fw with just the haircut changed and she was way better than default


I think these 2 pics look better than your mods

omg burn with fire, if these are the "options" chudville can come up with lol
 
bet her tits aren't as big as my wifes... also a stealth brag..

Anyways nobody wants to fuck a videogame character jesus, well not those over 30 at least (id hope) we're just asking that our characters err on the good looking side like DenchDeckards g/f than the random dude from school who liked to scratch his ass and sniff it

Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of a hot protag but its not a deal breaker for me.

Returnal is one of my favourite games this gen and Selene is a certified munter!

First and third are SIGNIFICANTLY better. The first still looks like the character, but makes her look more feminine. Third is just hotty Jills face, so of course it looks great. Second looks weird and doll-like though

First off, those aren't my mods, I'm just saying we have options. You might not like them, and that's totally fine because no one has to install them.

Bruh, there are literally hair mods on PC that don't touch her face, facial paint mods you can mix with face-altering mods, and texture mods to make her look more natural if that's your thing. As PC players, we have actual choices, that's the whole point.

I'm not here to tailor the entire modding scene to your personal tastes.

Hey GTF, i'd bang Selene. Think of having the Returnal bird on repeat, imagine how good in the sack she'd be after multiple tries but retains where she went wrong.
 
Where was the "parody" in the past games as far as the protaganist is concerned? I've posted a couple of times now showing the female character of Fable 2 and there isn't any of this "parody" there.

Pretty sure the 'parody' stuff is more believable than the idea that developers from the UK, US and Western Europe came together and decided on a conspiracy to make female protagonists ugly.

Somehow those who are complaining about a character design are "crazy" and "shrieking"? That isn't exactly what I would call a "stable reaction" either.

You think that rant above is justified for this? Really?
 
what you lot all moanin about Aloy for?? i played both games to death and had absolutely no qualms about her looks, she was a great videogames character, she actually looked feminine and had a certain charm about her, Sir Muntersalot from Fable ain't no Aloy

Serious note, Fable's pre-alpha footage looks amazing. All worries have been thrown out the window, the series looks like its in good hands.
 
Yeah, I get you, but folks dragging Sony into ain't any better.
I swear, you are the only one that ever tries to bring balance to a lot of this bullshit. "You warriors", usually comes from a user who's very one-sided, too.

Why is it so hard to just be happy for a game without trolling? Seriously? Doesn't matter what side you support.

To bring it back to relevance - this trailer is an easy win for EVERYBODY. Game looks like it's on the right track.

You have been here long enough to know there are people here who enjoys a game much more just knowing its only on their platform of choice

Its sad but true

I know my man, but it starts to pluck your nerves after a while. Especially when the games we've been asking for start to form and look so good!

Typing three sentences in response to a person who typed an entire essay paper and then instantly being told your post is just as bad as theirs should give you an indicator as to how the scales are viewed.

If anything, it should let you know to not bother wasting too much of your own personal time on said discussion, because it isn't worth the headache.

Why did you took my post personally? Where did i say that those were your mods?

Dude i was as friendly as i could ever be, i think you misunderstood my tone entirely.

Honestly, I think she fits Fable perfectly. The trailer's narrative pokes fun at our expectations of heroes, including their appearance, which ties in perfectly with how they first revealed her face.
 
Aloy's face is ok - it's just her hair that sucks. Her personality though - unfortunately there's no mod for that.

That Fable girl is just hideous though. Everything I've seen from that studio suggests the game is going to contain pretty much every shitty woke trope. Wouldn't be surprised if that's why it keeps getting delayed - someone may have realised that they have a problem.

Not sure where I saw it, but the phrase 'your mods' popped up somewhere, probably from another user before it got edited. the phrase triggered the old "give credit to the original creator" attitude of the mod community. Anyway, I'm not taking this personally; I'm just pointing out that we have options. Sure, people will have different opinions on those options, but the fact remains: PC allows for customization in ways consoles simply can't, unless the developers decide to provide the tools themselves. That's all I'm saying.
 
2026 is loaded with crazy releases. It will be the best year of the generation bar none.

Feels like since 2023 every single year has been loaded. At least for me. I still haven't even played Stellar Blade or Rise of the Ronin. No time to get into SF6 which I planned on doing since I play all the SF games.
 
I would go even further, even if those were not sausages, the alternative would be called wurstels, hot dog is just american slang for a wurstel inside a bread bun.

When i said your mods what i meant was the mods that you posted, not that you made those :lollipop_grinning_sweat:

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I know nothing about any talk of conpiracies. I'm trying to figure out why there is this narrative that uncharismatic protaganists in Fable is somehow an ongoing parody in the series when it just isn't.

Probably not. It wasn't crazy shrieking either. So both of you are engaging in hyperbole.

For context, this is in the post I'm responding to

abomination, completely designed by HR and the 8 Trans in the office, she's completely uninspiring, horribly ugly and a reflection of exactly why western game development is a joke, a poster child for modern gaming..

are the fucking mentalists really running the insane asylum??


All for a character model that does look like the source actress in this trailer.
You don't have to "Akshually, both sides" every thing 🙄

And the post I was responding to was referring to more than just that one person.

"The crazy ones are the ones shrieking about the looks of the protagonists instead of relevant stuff like how the game plays, the story etc."

"You don't have to" bend over backwards to defend bad character design just because the character is in a Microsoft game. 🙄

I like was I saw here although it wasn't much. I'm holding out hope it's great as I love the Fable franchise. The delay better be worth it.

It's not a conspiracy, it's a concession. And it's 100% intentional. There was literally a developer who got caught last year (or 2023) talking about how western development studios have made a conscience decision to veer away from conventionally attractive women for the sake of inclusion. They are absolutely making women look less feminine to appease the 100 flavors of gender people. And considering the absurdly high rate of gender freaks in western game development, compared to the general population, you'd have to have your head in the sand to think it's not happening.

Either that you think that western developers have just become incompetent at their jobs in the last decade?

She was fine in the first game, they literally made her look worse in the second. Hell, when they remastered Zero Dawn they replaced her face with the uglier FW model.

Grasping at straws now?

I guess that's why I've spoken up against the same BS when it comes to famous Microsoft games Ghost of Yotei and Intergalactic.

'Bad character design' when it's literally a scan of a living actress?

Doesn't make what I said untrue. Either way, don't get snarky if you don't want someone to reply in kind. That's on you.

Devs have become infamous for creating characters that are poor representations of the actors/actresses. In this case, they simply should have chosen someone else to base their protaganist on. So yes, "bad character design".
