Fable is back, with a series reboot and a new developer. During a recent livestream, Playground gave us our best look at the game yet, and was eager to get across that this is, first and foremost, a Fable game.
However, some features that were inseparable from Fable back in the day have been scrapped, including having a dog follow you around and having your character’s appearance morph based on your decisions. The devs have a pretty good reason for the latter at least, and there are some of us classic fans who are glad to see this go. But there is another feature from the classics that we haven’t seen yet, and some are getting concerned: the demon doors.
Where Are The Demon Doors In The Fable Reboot?
“I really miss this guy,” says Reddit user gex109. “I hope they keep them in the new Fable.”
True enough, it doesn’t seem like demon doors have featured in any of the footage we’ve seen so far. Admittedly, we haven’t gone in-depth with any of the quests so far, and demon door requirements can be a bit like small sidequests of their own, so perhaps Playground is holding off for now.
“I think there’s basically a zero percent chance that the game won’t have them, given how quintessentially Fable they are”, says Gauntlets28. “I imagine the reason they aren’t showcased yet is because they want to keep them a surprise.”
Many others agree and believe it will be a great loss if they are absent. “I just can’t see them ignoring Demon Doors though. They clearly know what Fable is and the doors add a load of value to the game without loads of effort,” says Samuel_Go. “They get to showcase environments you might not normally encounter and get to add humour into the challenges.”
With that said, there could be some benefits to them not being here. For starters, this Fable is going for a less black-and-white approach to morality, so it’s likely that we’ll want to roleplay. Now, roleplaying will be pretty bloody hard if we’re asked to marry a rando or kill an innocent just to appease an ancient door. And sure, demon doors are optional, but that’ll be hell for the completionists out there.
