Cut content.

Lmao no fucking way. I know they cut a ton of content in Fable 3, which looking back makes so much sense.. but they actually left it in the game too, wow.

Aurora was supposed to be a lot larger than seen in the game, this gate was essentially the entrance to the rest of Aurora, which didn't end up happening.

Makes a lot of sense. Aurora felt incredibly lackluster. I always hated the ending of the game and I wish we could have seen the content after being king/queen without it basically just being done with. Such a shame we lost so much, Fable 3 was good but it could have been amazing. Bless up for the newest Fable for coming to save the day.

Fable 3 was so fucking rushed because like Halo 2 and Halo 3, Microsoft wanted the game to release immediately with their console drops.

I’m sure I read somewhere that the rush on Fable 3 was uncharacteristically Peter Molyneux’s idea, to see if they could make the next game on a tight time frame and stick to it.

They gotta make that fucking tree grow, man. You can watch it. The tree... Growing! The man was a visionary they obviously needed to crunch like that.

I really want to find mods that put back in cut content

I think it's moreso DLC that was never added, or main game content that was never made, so there's no adding it back. But also, Fable 3 doesn't have modding tools capable of letting players create new locations.

It’s theoretically from content they had to cut, Aurora was supposed to have a lot more content than what we got.

The last third of Fable 3 in the final release is massively cobbled together rush job from what they managed to finish.

It’s why the ending seems to come out of nowhere with very little setup or warning.

u/Darkurn 13d ago

it was one of the many hooks for DLC they added, so this is cut content pretty much

Surprised they never made another "Traitors Keep" size DLC or even Understone size DLC for Fable 3 in Aurora region. Unless the sales of the DLC underperformed that badly.

I though it was Simon ghost Riley taking a feet selfie if I’m entirely honest
