Molyneux has stopped delivering on his promises long, long ago. I think it was from Fable that I noticed that the most. He proposed an open world with all your choices having an impact on all characters and nature around, but it ended up simply a series of binary choices between good and evil. Hardly revolutionary.

Well I enjoyed Populous, Dungeon Keeper and Theme Park. After it all went down the drain.




Fable is exactly what comes to mind most. I allowed myself to be sucked in again before Fable 3 came out. It was a complete disappointment.

Dungeon Keeper really deserves a modern remake. Its a shame that that IP is tied up in EA.


Yeah, I believe all previous Bullfrog IP are now with EA, right? Nothing is owned by Molyneux anymore, correct?


No direct insight into it, but that is my understanding from reading various things over the years. That said, I seldom play games and don't keep up with much anymore just pick a random weekend once or twice a year to pick up something and binge a bit so I may be completely wrong.
