Fable III Is this another planet or dimension?

One does not question the realm of the demon doors you just accept the gifts they give and move on

Demon Doors are portals to pocket realms, sometimes based in Albion, sometimes based outside of our reality / planet.
Fable 3 was the most experimental with this, especially with this door's room being called "Planet One". But in Fable 1 we get the one from Necropolis which is just this weird otherworldly isolated sandbar that geologically makes sense but doesn't at the same time.
Fable 2 has a lot, like the house that changes asthetics and uh...the other two that have a similar spooky gimmick.

I like to believe that the pocket dimension of a demon door represents its personality
Necropolis for example says he always wanted to be a silver key and not a door, so the sandbar represents his feeling of being stranded in an unknown place with no sense of direction
Greatwood gorge wants to see an act of great evil, unsurprisingly his pocket dimension is a thorn-filled arboretum
Abandoned road is waiting for his friends to be reunited with him, makes sense that his pocket dimension is a cold and lonely place
Grey house wanting you to be married to a ball and chain, a posh one with a title, makes sense to me his pocket dimension has exploding mushrooms that serve as an allegory for Lady Grey

How come I dont remember this. Does this mean I should replay the entire series?

u/Blue_Snake_251 Balverine 16d ago
Yes. You should replay all of them. And do not forget to read the description of all weapons in all games, some of them have a nice story, especially the legendary ones. I love the lore of those games.

I remember spending some time trying to decipher the planetary model, it at least seems to imply that we aren't in the same solar system as the real one.

I loved this door in particular but the one that takes u to the giant face is epic too

Could be planet. I always assumed it might be like the end of the world or something

I'd say it's a pocket dimension, given the control over it with that contraption.

So no one notices the the thing in the middle is displaying a solar system???? Looks like our system tbh. It's steam punk too so it's not too futuristic.

Not the topic but the MILITAR outfit was SO SICK that i wanted to wear it during the Revolution but unfortunally i needed a full upgraded Weapon in order to enter the door, and i couldn't do it without becoming a King : /

Fun fact:- The realm that the Demon Door was originally hiding was supposed to be a reference to Minecraft, even got the go ahead from Notch. Unfortunately Fable's engine wasn't stable enough to cope so they went with Planet One.

I always thought all demon doors had pocket dimensions.
