[quote name="fabio"]They not terrible, merely okay (but comic book fans will tell you Watchmen is the greatest story ever told so you have to take their word with a grain of salt). I think they were just a product of the times and haven't aged well. Deconstruction wasn't quite as played out in 2002. "This fable reacts to a situation more complex than their simple storybook source material" wears thin pretty quick. The tone came off as Moonlighting with occasional bloodshed. The fact that Telltale turned it into a Walking Dead reskin reaffirms what awful hacks they are. (The writing makes no sense. If the characters weren't constantly telling you they're immortal and have been on Earth for hundreds of years, then you would guess they've only been there a short time because everyone talks like they're still getting to know the situation. Then in the game, the story makes no sense because it's about Fables coping with inescapable poverty and fear of being discovered, so they all insist on living in the most densely populated, highest cost of living city in the western hemisphere despite owning vast lush rural estates.)[/quote]
