The plot and quests are somewhat linear, but once players get into the flow of the game after the first few hours, it starts to get more compelling. The combat, while simplistic, also gets more in-depth as the player progres

BW: Yes, we do keep new readers into account, and thank you for asking this important question. I believe, in addition to the continued counting, starting with 151, we’re going to count each issue with Black Forest 1 of 12, and so on. We plan to work hard to get the word out to everyone that this is a self-contained story. You don’t need to have read the previous hundred or so issues to know what’s going on. If you have done so, that’s great, but it isn’t necess

The difference between Fable and The Elder Scrolls, though, is that The Elder Scrolls hasn't gone anywhere. Even though there hasn't been a numbered single-player entry in The Elder Scrolls in ten years, Skyrim alone is so unbelievably successful that Bethesda hasn't needed to release a new game. Skyrim just keeps coming back and delivering every time. The success of The Elder Scrolls: Online should also be noted. Even though the main games haven't been updated beyond a deluge of Skyrim remasters, The Elder Scrolls is going str

A big aspect of Fable — that many want to see in a reboot — is moral alignment. It's a feature that heavily comes into play when trying to go through the City Of Aurora Demon Door. The thing will only open for people who are completely good or completely e

Bethesda has come forward and said that its main focus is currently on Starfield and that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be taking a back seat until it's finished. For this reason, it's all but confirmed that the studio's follow-up to Skyrim will be absent from E3 2021. Since Microsoft's acquisition of Zenimax last year, plenty of attention has been on Bethesda and what it next big game will be. While Starfield will likely be the star of the show, fans of the Elder Scrolls series have been eager for any updates on the sixth mainline game in the series since its reveal in 2018. Because of how much excitement Starfield is going to generate, it doesn't make sense that the studio would want to split that up with more Elder Scrolls 6 ne

**SR: If fans have found Fables in trade paperbacks, or even the acclaimed video game, that "Issue #151" on the cover is going to seem daunting. Do you take new readers into account even more in this situation? Do the preceding books help you to draw in new audiences

BW: It does pick right up where issue 150 left off. In the first issue we meet a couple of new characters, and reconnect with some of the old and beloved ones. It follows the Wolf family, who’ve decided it’s time to move back to Bigby’s old stomping grounds (which is where the title "The Black Forest" comes from), and gaming backlog it also follows a Fables character we expected not to see again, as she navigates our world which used to be the mundy world, but is now a place of unleashed wild magic. The story’s about growing up, adapting to new ways, and letting go of old things that are past their t

As much as Nintendo fans might hope and pray, Metroid Prime 4 will most likely be absent from its 40-minute presentation on Tuesday. Metroid Prime 4 has had development issues that caused the entire project to be rebooted in 2020, so it's unlikely that the game will be ready to be shown off in its current state. Additionally, Nintendo clarified that its showcase will revolve primarily around games releasing later in 2021, so, despite many studios announcing things releasing over the next few years, Nintendo is focused on the rest of this year. If development is ahead of schedule, Metroid Prime 4 could potentially be showcased at a future Nintendo Direct towards the end of the year, but it probably won't surface at E3 2

**SR: On a similar note, how did you approach the fact that there will be readers who know Batman backwards and forwards, but will pick up this story knowing little about Fables , or have this as their first exposure? (And vice versa.

The player can start "My Speciality" as soon as Team Snakemouth reaches Defiant Root and unlocks one of the best healing items in the game. In order to complete the quest and unlock the recipe, players must deliver a Tangy Berry to

Also formerly known as Project Athia , Forspoken is a new IP being developed exclusively for the PlayStation 5 by Luminous Productions and published by Square Enix. While Square Enix has a show, it has already been pretty clear about what exactly it'll be showcasing. While there's definitely room for surprises, because of Forspoken 's existence as a PS5 exclusive , it doesn't seem like the title will be making an appearance. Sony has been notably absent from E3 for a few years now, but the company often times does its own events during the summer. It's much more likely that Forspoken will make its next appearance during a PlayStation event than at E3 2
