    Fable was also decent because I think the hype at the time was literally just “the main character changes if you’re good or evil” and “you can buy houses and get married.”

    He could make a decent game in the past when he didn’t embarrass himself.

      Nah, Fable had mountains of bullshit, too.

      From simple things like having a dragon boss fight (didn’t happen), or dynamics between you and rival heroes (it’s all scripted and only involves one) to extreme bullshit like “you can carve your name in a tree and 30 years later it will still be there!” (not even as a scripted event is this a thing)

      Like, it wasn’t a terrible game, but it is far and away from being the game Pete promised.
