In 1988, a game called The Battle of Olympus hit the Famicom, arriving a few years later globally on the NES.

Fable devs originally had a tool to randomize the RPG’s 1,000 NPCs that “would have saved us so much time,” but that “just didn’t make as much sense”

The Fable reboot’s whimsical fantasy world is full of 1,000 NPCs who are each handmade by the developers at Playground Games, but that’s not always how the new feature was handled.
