I haven't played fable in close to a decade now and that just brought up some seething rage I had from all the times I had fucking nothing and he wouldn't shut the hell up while I was trying to save my own sorry ass
I'll never forget fable. Me and my best friend split up after a fight when I was 15 and I'd come home everyday (it was winter) and my mom would goto bed and I'd just stay up till 1am everyday on schoolnights playing fable. The epicness of the music & great gameplay got me through the months of severe depression and feeling of loss. I'd come home and basically cuddle up to my beloved fable in the cold darkness of canadian winter.
@@mikeymike0375 Also a Canadian, haha. I grew up playing this with my (at the time) best friend religiously and figuring out everything we possibly could about the game to the point we knew every thing in it.
@@evanbigwood7749 alright, master was old, but you cannot say he was weak. He got propably more power then all heroes together, and yes - he could also break a men with a simple finger move.
@@blady2137 I mean, in TLC you literally just swipe at him once in a cutscene. Maybe when you're younger or just starting out, he could take you with willpowers or something. But the Hero of Oakvale does get stupid strong, wielding the Sword of Aeons too
There still are plenty of good RPGs nowadays, for instance Deus Ex Human Revolution, Mass Effect and The Witcher sagas (although these came out a while ago)... Furthermore, Rpg speaking, Fable wasn't that good, it was mainly great for its ambience, musical themes, cheesy humour, the fact that you saw your character grow older but when you look back it has quite a number of flaws and it doesn't have that much content. It is a great game but not a reference in the RPG category
there's still a good amount of rpgs being released, but if you are a nostalgia ridden 20 something proto hipster you won't be able to see beyond le epic baldurs gate
Streywayne you can't compare fable to modern games in terms of content, modern games will always win considering the technological advances they have on their side. Fable brings back to me a haze of nostalgia 😊 by far one of the best games about when I was younger. Sure it might not have had everything, but with a little imagination you could spend years playing it without ever getting bored. Loved this game, and attention should be paid to the notable merits that made it define RPG history.
I don't think I'll ever forget Fable. Good and Evil have always been presented as polar opposites in most other genres....but Fable simply presents it as a natural choice.
@Ms. Saturday Knight exactly. and also I killed her big bro (thunder) for his soul in TLC. Those 2 had to be some of the most annoying characters in the game.
My only brother loved this game. Most amazing person in the whole world and he passed away. I had the same copy of fable for xbox ever sence i was a little guy i just watched him play but it was very entertaining. I made a promise to him that id never get rid of it so he could one day play it again. Most of my other og xbox and xbox 360 games i got rid of... but i kept a close eye on fable so i didnt lose it. Now i have no siblings and stuck with a broken promise... I just cant wait to get an xbox again
This actually made me want to cry 😭😭😭 it's so sweet I love this video game too I could never get past the prison where you needed to rescue your mother. (the characters mother)
When I was 7 years old I had an Xbox that had so many games and one of my fav games were fable because it's so intersting and also very challenging. I loved this game so much and I still do, wish i still had my xbox :(. But now that I am older I still remember this game it's stuck in my head. I love this game, bring back the childhood years please!
"Your health is low do you have any potions or food" "Hero your will energy is low watch that" "Try to get your combat multiplier even higher" "Check the Guild for more Quests" Theres an important Quest card for you" "You've received a new Quest Card" "Use your Stick" "Use your Stick"
Is it true that you can find a entry about the Guildmaster in two or three that mentions the Hero of Oakvale killed the Guildmaster. And engraved into his forehead were the words *your health is low* ... I'm not sure if that was actually a thing or if I just read it somewhere...
Fable and Fable 2 are one of the best games in the whole universe because of the story of the fight in the possibilities of the game to choose the bad or good side and fable 2 especially because of the soundtrack the games will always be remembered and sparrow and his dad will live forever in our hearts Rest in peace lionhead studios
Pray, for the minds of men are fickle... Be wary, for their hearts tread upon a dark path... Listen... Do you hear the whispers? They cry out in the night... they beg forgiveness and they pay the price... Yet I, humble and cruel, lay waste to what life I have left... Blinded by my own ambition, consumed by my own arrogance... They call to me... They beg forgiveness... Yet who is left to forgive me? Just thought about it while listening to this song... May fable rest in peace... (-.-)
"It's time to abandon the World: I pass through that demon door, the first I was ever able to open when I was a naive, nameless little boy: I approach that beautiful chair, carved in the stone eons ago by the mightiest craftmen ever lived, I place the ancient books I collected from my countless adventures on the dusty table: the Truth must sleep between those cryptic words, waiting to be finally awakened! No more wars, no more fights, no more balverines or bandits to slay, no more glory or fame, no more hearing the adoring crowds screaming your name; I shall survive drinking the crystal clear water from the gleaming lake in front of me, fishing, breathing the pure air of this sorrowful cave.. I'm not afraid of death, of dying alone, forgotten, far from my family, far from the beloved Guild that welcomed me when I was hopeless, since this is my last quest, the mightiest of them all: I shall die with the Truth in my hands." As you can imagine, I miss playing this game :( aah, dem feeeels!
Mutta Nanba "The Truth"? Care to explain this text you quoted a bit more, or did I just miss something during all those playthroughs of Fable? :< I miss this game, too. Truly one of the greats.
SyntaxTwo Ahahah, no, man, you didn't miss anything.. :) It's not an oringinal quote from the game, it's just a kind of visual epiphany that I've experienced while listening to this beautiful "gregorian chanting" for the first time again, after all these years, and that I tried to put down in words.. It's how I personally imagined the game to end: after all those years spent to bring Order and Peace to the people of those towns and islands, I like to think that my hero gave up all glory and wealth, and finally retired in a charming little cave, in order to grasp something more meaningful, something deeper, something like the true meaning of Life, that I've always thought could be hidden between the lines of those arcane books, which I always collected with awe and wonder while playing the game, during my naive early childlhood.. Since such a quest can't be achieved in our ephemeral lives, I'd like to think that it would have been possible at least in that fairy talish world, which I dearly miss, just as my childhood :')
Mutta Nanba That's brilliant. I love it. Thank you for your insights on this. It's very similar to how I would've imagined it myself. I do believe that in Fable 2, it is mentioned in a book or a tooltip or somesuch that it was rumored that the Hero of Oakvale spent his last years in solitude in a cottage with a small farm, which was hidden away behind a demon door - Wether that's canon or not I think is left to our imagination since it's mentioned as a rumor, but it doesn't seem far off at all from your idea :) Time to replay the game again, me thinks!
SyntaxTwo Well, first of all, I should thank you instead, dear Sir, for appreciating my personal interpretation. I'm not quite used to such kind words: in actuality, I've always been teased and considered quite bizarre, for my, ehm, recurring inclination to daydream, such as in this case :-P Wow, your hint from fable 2 is quite similar to my reverie! I'm glad about this unheard resemblance with the main story written by the developers - to be honest I've never played neither fable 2 nor fable 3, since I've always heard bad things and read bad reviews about both of them, particularly about the latter - and with the ending that you've imagined, of course! :) Yess, I think it would be time to replay it, especially at Christmas, like I did as a child, during those lovely, snowy days!!
Mutta Nanba Meh, if anything I wish I had the capacity for more imagination myself as I find it quite hard to visualize things or daydream. Good quality, I say! Also, those reviews/hearsays are mostly correct - You didn't miss much with Fable 2 & 3. I mean, they have the charm of the Fable universe, but there is so much left to be desired - particularily in Fable 3. Fable 2 was actually a good game in it's own right, it just wasn't on par with the original :)
I feel like the Jack of Blades fight can get very cheatsy from time to time. I remember in phase 2 he kept repeating his dash attack which continuously left me in the animation of getting down until i died.
The fabled story of a boy whose dad was killed by bandits, then he was rescued by a secretly evil wizard, to join a guild of heroes, on a quest more epic then Bethesda could make..
My first Fable was actually the second game, but I have fond memories of watching my father playing through all 3 games as I'd get ready for school. Then when I got home, my brother and I would play co-op together. This franchise holds a very special place in my heart, and that of my family.
Playing fable gave me a better understanding of choices and consequences and the way they can affect both yourself and the world around you. I’m so glad to have played this game in my lifetime
I was listening to a chor and I immediately thought about Fable theme... So many year since the last time I played to this game and still here somewhere in my memories. I hope I will never forget it.
Hehe, I remember I was playing fable once, I was in the guild, my mom walked in, she was like "Wtf are you listening too?" "I"m playin' fable -duh-" xD
and for all who enter the guild will hear the souls of fallen heroes and villans still residing within it's sacred corridors... watching those who would make their fates, either good, or evil, and become the legends of the past -TheJimozu
One of my favorite games of all time, when I hear this track I am blasted with a wave of nostalgia and bitter sadness that the other games in the series weren't nearly as good as their precursor. Fable III is headed in the right direction, but what we really need is one set in the Albion of old. All of this modernization and steampunk elements just don't fit, in my eyes. If there is a Fable IV, I hope that it can give me the same memories that the first did.
@@Droxxin The hero lives. It was foretold by the scribblings of his great grandfather that he would return. So far, i think Fable 4 looks like a blast and a half
I guess any Gregorian chant would make you think of Halo if that's the only place you've heard it, but Halo definitely doesn't get any credit for this.
It was a tragic sight, going through the caves filled with beetles until you reach the chamber of fate, where the only thing left of the original guild is the murals on the wall showing the hero of oakvale from fable 1 throughout his life
@@P9u9r6p2l4e thats exactly what I felt and how even more depressing is the hero of oakvale and his story has been forgotten to to time and the guild that trained him is as well and the caves even keeps its chorus
This was one of the first Xbox games I ever played and I never forgot it. As soon as I had my own Xbox it was one of the first games I ever tried to get. I absolutely loved the music at the Guild and now it holds wonderful nostalgic memories, so imagine my heartbreak when I played Fable 2 and realised the guild was destroyed. No... 😥 The theme of the Guild is followed closely by the theme for the demon doors
When I first joined my lodge, the first time I saw the meeting chamber was the day of my initiation ritual. I was blinded, and moved into the room, and when my hood was finally removed it was dark, except for the light of candles. The members in their dark suits looked down at me, the glow not bright enough to illuminate their eyes, but enough to illuminate their bearded faces, scowls fixed on their faces, not because they disapproved, but because they knew knew the stoic meaning behind it all. It's one of those moments where you really FEEL the weight, feel the meaning of the room you're in, the ritual being guided. And in my mind, all I could hear...was this song.
I've been writing a novel for the past year and the beginning of the plot was largely inspired by this game. A boy living with his father and sister in a village in medieval Europe. (Well, it's the future but they're in a technological regression due to time.) His sister is kidnapped by raiding marauders and his father is killed only for him to basically be kidnapped himself and brought in to be trained as a warrior. If anyone is interested in reading it, it'll be out by November and I'll post updates on my channel.
May the newest fable be blessed to be better the fable one and even better the fable 2. For it seems to be a remake, a retelling of this old fable, will the hero of oakvale be blessed with his massive meaty hands? Only time will tell.
This chant reminds me of the best version of myself. The best version I want to be to help others. Make the right choices in your life and don't get distracted by all of the things of this world.
You know, I played this song when I was a very young kid, and I will never... EVER forget it, and this song. I'm an adult now, and I play MMORPGs, and I still hate the communities and am biased against the grouping of others. I hate MMORPGs to a degree, and you want to know why?? *Because THIS GAME... taught me the meaning of the word, 'Guild'.* And no real man has been able to reach it's level of standard.
@inphasesith When you go in the arena for the soul,Jack of Blades will say something like this: "Try to get your combat multiplier even LOWER" "There's a quest card waiting for you at the bottom of the slime pit!" Your health is low, let's keep it that way! Also he says some others things,but i can't remamber right now.
First game I ever finished in one sitting. I remember having dreams of people outlined in red lol. Amazing game. A bit bummed I didn’t dig into all of the side stuff you can do on my first play through but I definitely did on my multiple other play throughs amazing game.
That's what I wanted Fable III to be. I've only ever owned the first Fable, but I played the second and hated it. And when I saw that the third looked the same and that Lionhead didn't take note of all of those fans (including me) that said 'set it in the Golden Era', I knew that it was going to be a pile of crap.
@AkioET SO TRUE. The storyline was the best part. Fable 2 had more choices, but the storyline was severlely lacking in comparison to the first one. But nonetheless an AMAZING game to play. Hopefully Fable 3 is going to be inbetween the first and second game with a good story AND good amount of choices. Fable 3 is coming out with the touch system and a better combat system. Although its sharing quite a few traits with the SIMS now... :/ but hopefully it lives up to its potential :) happy gaming
This soundtrack would, in addition with Fresco Dome/Chamber of Fate, eventually die with Fable 2. The Guild Soundtrack would have it's glory in Fable 1, only to take Fresco Dome's original role of Fable 1 into Fable 2, which was the music only used for the Chamber of Fate... Such good music... gone to waste. R.I.P., Fable OST.
