People in the middle ages didn't look like goblins, poor hygiene or not. You posted a picture with fairly normal looking people.
That chick in the trailer is aggressively ugly and they went the extra mile to make her look facially unpleasant to look at.

Just having something different is more exciting. An ugly sword swinging drunk chick kinda suits fable and could add to the humour. Some of my favourite female characters or actors aren’t the best looking either.
And fables not even a realistic game so it doesn’t really matter. It’s more funny when people complain about ugly chicks in more realistic games and still ask for realism. TBH there’s not many hot chicks that would swing swords, gunfight, hunt etc. Sure there are some but it doesn’t really come off as believable. Abbys a good example. It’s like people wanted Samus Aran type character in a post apocalyptic world.
I was just saying to my son the other day that it would be cool to have a bad ass fat character in a game for once. Every character just comes off like brad Pitt in every AAA game. Switching it up doesn’t hurt and brings different takes on characters. People complain about alloy and she isn’t even ugly. She comes off way more attractive then I’d believe a women would look in in that type of setting.
There’s also times where it’s cool to have a pretty bad ass chick too. Some over the top action games like bayonetta fits perfect or other good examples. I remember making my girl character in sunset overdrive ugly as shit and I loved that character. We’re not hurting for good looking women in games. They’re still the majority.
People make ugly characters all the time when there’s create a character. It’s cool if devs want to sometimes too.
Trevors a good example in GTA. They could’ve made him more fat and it would’ve been cooler. He’s the ugly one and everyone seemed to like him the most.

Have you seen how normal women look?
I am not talking about the ones that put in heavy make up, but regular women?
I worked with some and they dont look like this fairy in games. If those women were to feature in those games, people will blast them on the internet.

Yes, have you? They don't look this hideous.

yes she’s pretty ugly but she’d still be better looking than 50% of chicks without makeup. That’s the truth

What hideous?
Do you live in fairy tale area? Because this is not hideous thing. If she loses her hair tie, none of this outrage would happened.
Gamers man.
The devs said that small snippets were live gameplay with UI turned off.

Ingame cinematic using actual game engine.
Its using Forza Tech will also photogrammetry method also which was used in Horizon 5. So idk why you guys think its not real time?lol.
PGs are tech wizard at Xbox
Disagree. That whole thing was better than horizon, and I’ll be honest, i don’t think it will look like that on release. But if so. Then that will be the first actual game to “wow” me with graphics. Won’t be able to play it though, as I don’t even have an Xbox.

If she is actual protagonist then i will not play the game.If this really is what our protagonist looks like, I'm getting this on gamepass and will just repeatedly throw her off of a cliff.
How can they make character this ugly? Character i made in Oblivion looks better than this abomination

I need gameplay, not an ingame cinematic.
I cant make a judgement from that trailer. The only snips of gameplay we got was a 2 sec gameplay.
You’re digging a hole you might not be able to get out of.

Hope there's character customization.

No, I live in the real world but apparently you live in a place with some of the ugliest women because this is normal to you and not just straight-up ugly.

My friend, I am from normal world. Not that expensive world. And the place where I live is diverse and has all kind of background people.
You will be suprised with how people look here.

Actually it’s more of my ego isn’t so big that I think anything I post here will in any way matter. I post my opinion. That’s it.

You know it was a good trailer when people get so insecure about it.

so much this.
You know it's amazing looking when all the neckbeards on GAF have to complain about is that the main character from the trailer doesn't arouse them enough

So your opinion is that a character in a demo for a game that you typically create your own character for is ugly. Got it. Again, thanks for posting.
Why did we need this back and forth to establish that? It was clear from the beginning that was my opinion.

It took you 2 attempts to post this diarrhea?
On topic, the trailer is terrible. It's not impressive. It gives you no idea of what the game supposed to be.

Fair take and much better than how you first described your viewpoint.
I think for me it’s mostly about liking nice looking things, it’s certainly not a teenage fantasy thing I’m nearly 50 happily married and a bunch of kids. I really just enjoy eye candy.
I don’t have a problem with quirky side characters, that’s usually cool, but since I might look at the main character for 100+ hours there has to be something that appeal to me. If it’s not a pretty face then it can be a crazy good looking body or cool long hair or cape or badass armour or weapons or tattoos etc.
In this Fable character I saw nothing that stood out. It’s just a bland looking character really. They could’ve made a character swap with the black giant and it would’ve instantly been more interesting, I bet it would’ve made the PR more interesting too. They should hire me as a consultant for the next trailer.

Fair. I do think they’ll make her looks part of the character though. Maybe this ugly chick might be better than the 90% of the other female characters out there. Most of them are good looking. If a game were to have an ugly character, I’d say fable would be the one where it would fit, considering it’s potty humour.
Or maybe/probably el create our own anyways.

90% of the characters in the west aren’t going for prettiness today. Which characters would that be?
Japan on the other hand, everybody is pretty there, even bosses in some cases, and the guy in Lies of P is pushing more for prettiness than most ladies. Slightly strange perhaps but I still like that more than whatever the west are doing.
And come on a super pretty character with potty humour would be hilarious, another great idea for another trailer!

But you see, there's this, who didn't choose what she looks like, and there's that thing in Fable, who was made that way on purpose. Let's not act naive and justify the unjustifiable.It's because that kind of face is real.
Her name is Caster Semenya. There are women like her who look like a man.
I think this T stuff makes it less believable these days.
Edit: hold on a second.. are you trolling? I googled this person and got this:
"Semenya is an intersex woman, with 5α-Reductase 2 deficiency, assigned female at birth, with XY chromosomes and natural heterogametic testosterone level."
The person is biologically male, but identified as female at birth. That's the reason why "she looks like a man". This again only proves my point.

Yeah, these are the only two possibilities. A model or ugly. No in-between. No sir.

I couldn't care less about the technical visuals and I honestly feel like too much noise is being made about this. They look good on a technical level. Personally, what bothers me is that doesn't look like Fable. When I think Fable, I think Jack of Blades. Obvious caricatures. A rather exaggerated and colorful aesthetic. Bordering on just visually goofy yet whimsical. But hey. At least the ugly bitch kicked a chicken. So that throwback is still there.

This looks straight up like a guy. It’s a typical character designed for modern audiences. I’m sure she’ll also have a Mary sue personality without weaknesses and is stronger than 10 men combined.
She looks fine, just pulling a special face in that shot.

People keep going on about how the woman looks, the main character (rightly so), but can you not make your own character in Fable?. I have never been a fan of the games but i just figured you could make your own character like in most rpg's.
And does that also mean yet another game with a female lead, were there any games shown at these conferences with male leads?, lol.

It also tells you just how many times gamers have been burned in the past. Can you really blame anyone for being super skeptical these days?

You should check my opinion on the sony gaas extravaganza showcase and why I wanted MS to knock out of the park with their SP lineup ... sorry if I want to hold your precious MS to higher standard ... and 30 fps "creative visions" pr bullshit in 2023 dont convince me so easy as your lot
60 fps should be the standard in this generation as MS PR said in the beginning of the generation and I agree with them, so I want fable to be as good as possible and that begins with good modern framerate. All the rest is icing on the cake

They're very careful not to say the words "real-time" or "gameplay". Using words like "Captured on XXX" is a PR term that can mean 3 PS3 farm to render the cutscenes in TLOU. Or that infamous Horizon FW trailer where Aloy was swimming in the most believable water visuals I've seen.

You didn't create your own character previously, you just chose the gender. They very well could be adding a character creator to the new one. I don't think they've said anything about it.
