So, what should I expect from a Fable game? Something like Dragon Age?
The original games were action adventures with Sims and RPG elements so not like anything else around right now. The genre could skew more strongly in a new Fable towards RPG we'll have to wait and see. And yeah while their main plot is more serious they are filled with Douglas Adams/Neil Gaiman humor and whimsicality.

Avowed just means to identify, declare, as some thing, this being Xbox fans. So if you're an open Xbox fan you're an avowed Xbox fan.

But that is just semantics, I wonder what he was really hinting at.

No, Fable is much goofier.
Unless they completely changed the formula, no. Fable is filled with humor and doesn't take itself too seriously. Would be kind of refreshing imo.
Not really. Single-character action RPG, with a focus on reactivity to your decisions and reputation. Often in a lighthearted/silly way, like you can emote at villagers to make them like or dislike you. That is, if this new game is anything like the old ones.

You ever play Kingdoms of Amalaur? It's like that with some light simulation elements.

Gratitude.

And I played the demo of Amalaur. Although the goofy/humor statements made me think of Divinity: Original Sin, which was definitely a more light hearted RPG compared to other medieval fantasy ones, although it could get quite dark.

What if you are an Xbox fan sharp as an Obsidian knife, but you don't like to be grounded but you also don't like outerworldy stuff unless it's Mass Effect?

Overall a relatively light ARPG series, dark humor, with a like cusp of the industrial revolution mystical reality England setting. I think the humor is what makes or breaks the series for people.

I think people are overthinking the "avowed" hint. It's probably the title of a new game, not a deepcut reference.

Zhuge wasn't exactly trying to be subtle with the Fable hint lol.

Really loved Fable 2 and didn't hate Fable 3 although it was a step or two back in many ways. Both were many years ago and under a different studio though so quite hopeful there's stuff I like.

I'm going with Perfect Dark even though:

A. Recent rumors seem to be that The Initiative's game is not PD.

B. The Initiative's game is probably not going to be there.

When you fail objectives in Perfect Dark, your status in the mission summary screen says "Disavowed". So...maybe?

Great catch
Let's go!

I've never played a Fable game before. Looking forward to giving it a shot.

Its basically a western RPG with tons of humour, right?

Edit: never mind.

Lucky you. I work at a hospital, and lost revenue from shutting down elective surgeries due to COVID put everyone's yearly raises on hold(read, canceled). But hey, the president of the hospital just had 2 27" 4k monitors overnighted in for his office. 😐

No seriously, it is lucky. Originally we weren't supposed to get raises at all this year and possibly next year but there was a turnaround and now we're getting them.
