## Key points

- The Fable reboot will be single-player.
- Co-op made the series’ moral choices more social.
- Fable 3 gave two players equal standing.

## Summary

The forthcoming Fable reboot will be a solo game, leaving out the co-operative play that helped make Fable 2 and Fable 3 memorable for many players. The article argues that sharing the series’ moral choices with a friend added a social dimension that suited its fairy-tale setting.

Fable 2 let a second player join as a Henchman, though the first player held more power and the co-op had restrictions. Fable 3 made both players equal, and its year-long “Weight of the World” quest gave friends difficult choices about raising money and protecting the kingdom, such as whether to fund a school or reinstate child labour. The article also recalls how playing Fable 2 and 3 with a friend became a source of comfort during the early COVID-19 pandemic.
