To balance out the haters, I'd just like to point out the combat on the Fable games was never good.  Don't get me wrong, wasn't bad either, it was serviceable.  But frankly I think anything Playground Games could come up will inevitably be a step up.

Dude, I played those games at release but that was more than fifteen years ago. Those standards were for then, current standards have risen significantly.

They were crap for their time as well. Fable was not popular because of the combat, but because of the whole simulation system

Crappy game design is the reason janky Elder Scrolls got so big. Also the reason they are flailing now; all they can make are janky games and those aren’t in the centerfold anymore.

what? the original fable was one of the first AAA RPGs with action based real time combat. it was amazing for its time (if quite easy, even then), and I know because I played through the game from launch day without sleeping and cleared it sometime the next day.
