@CDuds2024 Oh it’s still crispy 😁




Here are the new Demon Hunter customisation options coming in Patch 12.0.5 Void Elves are receiving updated blindfold textures, and all Demon Hunters will have access to a new blue eye colour, along with a flameless variant for both green and blue eyes.





my favorite secret in world of warcraft is the one where your character dies at 2am if you’re in stonetalon mountains because the employee who designed the zone was secretly a serial killer



The truth behind Fable III. Releasing just two years after the beloved and critically acclaimed Fable II, Lionhead had a short window to iterate and polish before bringing the trilogy to a conclusion. Peter Molyenux felt that if the third entry was too similar to the first two titles fans and critics alike would be disappointed. He and the team opted to push Fables timeline 50 years forward where the player character is either the son or daughter of the hero from Fable II. Rather than fixate on simply overthrowing the villain, a great focus was put on becoming ruler and how you would run the kingdom after your brother, the dictator was removed from power. The ideas for Fable III were ambitious. Some of it worked, while much of it never felt like it fully reached its potential. Many were dismayed by the further streamlining of choices, character morphing, customization and overall expression while others were elated by a narrative that had greater chops than that of Fable II. This is the game that featured the voice talent of John Cleese and Michael Fassbender among several others after all. The issue with Fable III was never really that it was a “bad “ game, but rather that it failed to do what Fable II did in retaining what made the prior game work while adding new ideas that made it better. With such a short development time Fable III ended up watering down what was expected, while never fully delivering on what was new. That being said, it was another solid title in the Fable franchise and a bittersweet ending to an IP we would later learn was going to be gone for a long while. It’s my least favorite of the trilogy, but it’s still one I enjoy. If it’s your favorite, I understand, and others should as well.
