* FunctionalAddict: Bigsby smokes and drinks a lot but it doesn't stop him from doing his job. [[spoiler: That because those help keep the wolf at bay.]]
* {{Geas}}: [[spoiler: Hints of it as both Faith and the Magic Mirror says "These lips are sealed" when asked about certain information.]]


Added DiffLines:

* IncestIsRelative: Donkeyskin's/Faith's Backstory: Snow White and Bigsby both cringe at it.


Added DiffLines:

* MadeOfIron: All Fables are like this so it takes a lot to kill them which is why a Murder is really surprising. The Woodsman gets an axe to the head and he's fine the next day with only a bandage. [[spoiler: Which leads to FridgeHorror as you realize that Prince Lawrence was sitting there for over a week after he shot himself waiting to die.]]


Added DiffLines:

* VerbalTic: "These Lips are Sealed." [[spoiler: The fact that the Magic Mirror also says this when asked about Faith is one of the first hints that something really big is going on.]]
* VitriolicBestFriends: Bigsby and Colin act like this. If you calmly talk to the Woodsman in the Trip Trap there are shades of this. Woodsman says he just sicking of constantly fighting with Bigsby.

* ImpoverishedPatrician: [[spoiler: Prince Lawrence and Faith]] were both royalty in the Homeland, and appropriately after marrying 'lived happily ever after'...at least until they had to flee without their wealth. Now in New York, he can't hold a job and she's forced into prostitution.

* AdaptationDistillation: By focusing primarily on Bigby Wolf and the Noir sensibility, this is definitely amongst the best of {{ComicBook/Fables}}-derived works.

Added DiffLines:

* GoodThingYouCanHeal: The Woodsman goes through a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, followed by plunging from his apartment onto the street below, and finally ending with an axe embedded in his skull. No one worries much about it, and the Woodsman stumbles off on his own while Bigby isn't paying attention. He's in shape for a drink by the next day. Fables are hard to kill.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Masquerade}}: All non-human looking Fables have to wear a glamour so that 'mundies' can't detect them, or else go to the Farm, far away from the sight of non-fables. One of Bigby's jobs as sheriff is to ensure compliance with this policy.

-->'''Bigby''': Hey, it wasn't murder, I was just hungry.
-->'''Colin''': Yeah, well, I'm hungry now, but you don't see me ripping your flesh off your bones!

Release dates for {{PlayStation 3}} in North America and Europe are forthcoming.

The player will take control of Bigby Wolf and will feature a choice-based system where the player decides if he should give in to the wolf's side, or whether he should try to get along and keep everybody safe. He will try to keep fairy tale characters, such as one of the Three Little Pigs and Mr. Toad from being detected by the 'mundies'; non-fairy tale people.
