From simple things like having a dragon boss fight (didn’t happen), or dynamics between you and rival heroes (it’s all scripted and only involves one) to extreme bullshit like “you can carve your name in a tree and 30 years later it will still be there!” (not even as a scripted event is this a thing)

Spore was supposed to have algorithmic animations based on how you constructed them, but EA did not give Wright the time or resources to do half of what he wanted, and none of his promises were straight lies about what even would have been possible at the time.

Nah, Fable had mountains of bullshit, too.

The dog was supposed to be so much more in fable.
Spore was supposed to have simulated physics for the creature phases…
I am glad the Thrive community has some torch bearers still pushing for it.
