I absolutely loved this game when it was released. So many great memories. Thanks for bringing those back. I remember spending hours killing guards in Oakvale just for the experience. Rumor is Fable IV is being developed and I can't wait. I picked up Fable Anniversary on sale not too long ago and think I'll give it a play on my channel. Your reviews are the best! Thank you for putting stories behind the games I love.

@sebastianmontoya5158 5 лет назад

What a wonderful coincidence! I player Fable: The Lost Chapters a bit back in 2006 and I bought the game again at the beginning of this week. Will be purchasing Anniversary later. I am already 30 hours in and I am enjoying it as much, if not more than my modded TESV: Skyrim. To bad, Fable 2 and 3 seem to be dumb down on matters of combat and magic. If anyone is looking for a third person, action dungeon crawler, with a similar art style and flamboyant combat; you should take a look at Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

I first played fable in 2004 on my Xbox. It was right up there with KOTOR 1&2, battlefront 2, halo 1&2 and jade empire. Fable is a game that I go back to at least once a year. One of my favorite games of all time.

@LumosX 5 лет назад

Great review. The introduction was very informative. Fable: TLC was the very first "RPG" I ever played, being a wee lad at the time and having read a positive review in a games magazine, and it has a special place in my heart. I never knew about the false hype or the promised multiplayer and everything else, so I could just enjoy what was on display. Married all the ladies. Tip: The best spell in the game is the mana shield thingy. Why? Because whenever you HP gets hit, your XP multiplier resets, and with the shield spell that never happens, which means that you can easily keep your XP multiplier in the 30s or even 50s, meaning that you take ~20 times more XP than you normally would. I'm pretty sure I've maxed out all skills across all trees in the endgame using that. Too bad Fable II never came to PC. It's also unfortunate that Fable III was a little... disappointing.

@5persondude 5 лет назад

The "acorn growing into a tree" concept doesn't seem like it should be so demanding. Wouldn't they just have to store an XYZ coordinate, a timer, and have a handful of partially-grown tree models to give the illusion of it growing over time? In fact, the "timer" could just be replaced by referencing the in-game "Time Played" stat and having the progress be represented by how close that stat gets to, say, 4 hours after the initial amount when the acorn is placed. Granted, I'm no experienced programmer like a normal developer, but I have used a couple of programming applications like Java so I'd like to think that I at least have a basic understanding of how coding works. Like ever since I tried out some programming languages, I've always liked pondering about how I would re-create game mechanics on my own. Just felt like brainstorming because Fable's acorn mechanic has inspired me to think more about the coding side of games.

@AvariceOverlord 5 лет назад

Really in-depth and cool to actually see someone credit the Carter brothers rather than shifting the glory to the popular guy - Molyneux. Did you read the development diaries by any chance (as a source?) Just some of what you said about the development sounds a bit familiar. I always feel disappointed by how much this game could of been, but I am honestly happy that it was even made based on its development. Edit: also you said Scythe being William is just a myth, but evidence is pretty damning.

@AvariceOverlord 5 лет назад

Also regarding the credits. Don't forget the amount of takeaways were ordered!

@Nerodrgn 5 лет назад

I don't know how many times I played the fable series over and over growing up, it was one of my all time favorite game series. My only issue was how fast the games seemed to go even when I was doing all the quests I possibly could.

@Kacp3rrak 2 года назад

23:10 personally, even if you're evil, stopping someone from destroying or taking over the world where you yourself want to cause more evil and chaos in is good for your own personal gain. That's my own head-canon for the evil character at least

@Randalftown 5 лет назад

Hi! Former Fable modder here. Having spent 100’s of hours looking through the files of Fable, I can confirm that a good portion of the promised features were at one point or another in development. It’s one of the more interesting games to look through since it has 100’s of pieces of unused content like a 4 player co-op feature

@jackcouch8322 5 лет назад

What else was there?

@Randalftown 5 лет назад

jack couch a couple of cool things I found was an alpha Bowerstone that is the same size as the entire finished gameworld, code and half finished models for monsters that would appear in Fable II, babies, a functional full loot system like in the Elder Scrolls that let the player loot weapons and gear off of enemies which I got to work and a title generator with some code referencing voice synthesizer code which I assume would let the player create titles that NPCs would say out loud.

@TheKpa11 5 лет назад

I also played this game a lot without knowing of the hype. I do really like the additional lore content that was only available in books, by the Oracle, and the "Tales of Albion" I really liked the concept of the Hero's Guild and SOME of the ideas of being a Hero. I liked reading about the "Fall of the Heroes" journals about a Hero wanting to be as great as the Hero of the first Fable, but ultimately growing up in the time that heroes were scorned and looked at as dangerous, power hungry, and selfish. And how ultimately it lead to a hunt for heroes and the fall of the Guild itself.

@KatWithCigarette 5 лет назад

What an absolute masterpiece of a game. I've played it back in the day when my brother brought it pirated on a dvd, and I'm still playing it even today on my Steam account. It's so charming, so peaceful and so welcoming. Simply turning on the main menu, being welcomed by this relaxing music, moonlit statue in a forest. It's a game I would run away from my problems to, get lost in, and feel better. It's flawed, indeed, but it's still the best god damn game I've ever played in my stupid life so far 💙

@almightydeity 5 лет назад

My favorite way to play was to do unscarred runs. If you invested in the shield spell and bought only will potions it was really easy to never lose HP or get scarred. Beat the dragon as both perfect good and perfect bad with nary a scar. It really shows how easy the game is as well. You don't even need mana augmentations.

@Volksgenossen 2 года назад

Fable is an excellent story driven action adventure game with some RPG features. 20 years ago it was a great RPG but it doesn't hold up to contemporary RPGs. There is very little customization or choices to be made (besides choosing to be good or evil). I would still recommend playing the game at least once to anyone who hasn't yet. It is still an excellent game.

Funnily enough, I'm in the middle of replaying the Witcher series (currently on 3) and Fable the Lost Chapters. Fable gets a bit repetitious in long plays, unfortunately. But the Witcher games hold up. Even the original, which was always a bit janky.

You forgot to mention the potion that gives you XP twoards a certain category, just get your multiplyer up and the potions effect (1k exp) will be multiplied by your multiplyer. So get a 20 something multiplyer and instead of 1 k get 20k exp

@slippingjimmys 5 лет назад

I have an Xbox official magazine from 2001 with an interview from Peter, back when the game was called Project Ego, he said “If you go into a town as a child, and carve your name into a tree, and return 20 years later, it will be a huge tree with your markings, or if you slice a childs face in a village, and returns years later, the village will be a city and have a man walking through town with scars all over his face. You can wander through a field and kill a stranger and a week later hear an army march through the field because the man you killed was actually royalty” This...is why I wholeheartedly and will FOREVER loathe Peter, as a child I literally lost sleep over the excitement I had for this game. When I finished it the day I bought it, legit could have cried. I felt so fucking betrayed by the one obsession and comfort I had as a suuuper depressed kid. I hope one day someone makes the game he promised.

@scottoleson1997 5 лет назад

SlippingJimmys Obviously developers don’t care about content that much because I never see anyone these days having interest in that kind of stuff because Red dead 2 is cool but just as linear and bland as any other open world

@Czah5 2 года назад

Apparently, collecting experience in Fable is just that. You are collecting the life experience of slain enemies, thus rapidly aging you as you "level up." So you are, in actuality, aging faster than everyone else in the game. One of the aspects that soured me on the game because I am a notorious xp grinder.
