Ouch 😂 I remember playing the shit outta Fable 2; it's a great game and holds up pretty well even today, easily one of my favourites. I always thought that Peter Molyneux got treated too harshly for overpromising, and I stand by that to this day. Dude made good games, just not as good as he said they were gonna be.
If you're old enough to remember horse armour then that reference has to be tongue-in-cheek. Nobody thought it was a good idea at the time I got weeks of mockery of Bethesda out of that nonsense 😂
I don't think Molyneux was a bad developer, he just overhyped his games to a level nobody else has managed before or since. Like I said, the Fable games do actually hold up pretty well, and Black And White is iconic. I don't recall encountering any bugs in Lionshead games, nobody T-posed randomly, and nothing that broke the game for me. But, I'm just one dude of course and the nostalgia is strong.
