Now, I know that Fable 3 has just come out, but I've already begun thinking of broad ideas for Fables 4 and 5. Not story ideas or game mechanics or anything, but rather aesthetics. Fable 3 was said to be Victorian. It is, I suppose, early Victorian, but Regency would be more accurate in my opinion. Assuming that the next two Fables continue the trend of taking place in the future, what would they be like? I doubt will have a Fable world that resembles the 21st century, but we could get close.
I see Fable 4 as working in a bit of a World War I time period. Trench warfare, rifles that still aren't great, and, since it's fable, still leave room for swords. I also see the the fashions being a bit out of style with WWI times, being more 1880's and 90's than 1910's. Magic would still exist, as would monsters, it would just be taking place further along in history. To me, this seems like a logical progression of things--we wouldn't see anything TOO out of place from Fable 3 even.
For Fable 5, I actually picture a world similar to Final Fantasy 7's. By this I mean the rise of modern cities, a focus more on diesel/fuel power over steam power, and science. Of course, magic would still have a place, as would monsters. Swords would probably be a bit obsolete, but could still be a plausible option for heroes.
Just some of my ideas, I'd love to here what some other people think. However, I would LIKE to keep this thread focused on ideas relating to the FUTURE of the Fable world. For instance, don't post that you would want to see Albion's history revisited.
