Parable 64 - HD
🕑 Added 2020-02-04 03:38:15 +0000 UTCThough Parable 64 was groundbreaking, its controls would be considered alarmingly awkward years later.
Commentary
Panel two is partially inspired by The Witcher (books in particular), and people knowing about the main character Geralt by virtue of bard-sung word-of-mouth.
Bard-sung word-of-mouth that was often more concerned with weaving a crowd-pleaser than an accurate retelling of what happened, so really, who knows what liberties Bard-Ellen has taken. Whatever they were, they seem to have worked in Susan's favor.
As for poking fun at Fable 2, the ambiguity in my story is NOT poking fun at it. You can say a lot about the game, but what the big bad is up to, and why they're doing, it is plenty clear. Really, it's the character who's the equivalent of cloaked-Arthur whose motives are vague.
In short, I'm more poking fun at the way I've gone about writing this.

I was just going to say that looks just like Ranma Soatome's outfit.

I actually bought Fable and Fable 2 based on your comic. ;)

Speaking of misunderstandings, Bard would like people to stop referring to them as Big Bard. That was nice and comforting when they were a teenager, but now that they no longer need the reassurance that they have grown up, it just makes them feel like you're calling them fat.

Potions.

Well, the name Buttercup does have a different connotation in English.

*Big Bard's Motif. The whole thing has been a terrible misunderstanding.

Who's afraid of the Big Bad Motive?

What happened to the basketballs?

I wonder, when you get around to explaining the Big Bad's motives, will they be anything like Lucien's were?

Love the Ranma outfit!

... True facts.

I was gonna say... the song could be completely accurate to that dude's complaints and come off as an endorsement to a lot of people who aren't religious zealots/celibate

Bard Ellen just sang about Susan's gazongas, didn't she?
Stephen Gilberg
I'm getting "hero" fatigue.

I certainly wouldn't say no! Honestly though? I just really like the outfit.
Kenneth A Graves
Potions of hot and cold water?
Dan Shive
You may well know this, but when the books were translated to English, that character was given the name "Dandelion", which he also goes by in the video games.

I know that outfit Susan is checking out! I hope it sees some use. ^^

Jaskier was my favorite character that season. I hope he makes a return. It was great seeing Geralt's made hero by the bard's songs. :)
