Played this game more than most, there are some actions that will keep you from doing a 100% run so I will say that was annoying to me, but this game is one of the most memorable games I played where there was strong balance, and the boast system was so cool I feel that Fable II and III were totally fumbled considering where this game was.
For how much time I spent playing this game at the time, I don't really have a lot to say about it one way or another. I remember it feeling ahead of its time, but nowadays it can feel small and restrictive.
Ultimately I don't think there's much to be gained from playing Fable for the first time now, but if you have any nostalgia for this game it will still nicely scratch that itch.

I think being British made this easier to play.
While fun most the time (combat not being too bad considering when it was released), this game could be pretty frustrating with a nonsensical map/fast travel system as well as being a generally janky game.
Saying that - it has a lot of charm and clearly the developers had fun making it, creating a game that doesn't take itself so seriously while taking itself seriously. The story was pretty much pointless, and you can easily become very powerful very quickly.
A lot of mechanics are unpolished/unfinished, for example the guards/trespassing which could cause major frustration in the wrong moment
Fun game though, looking forward to playing Fable 2

In retrospect, this game is a bit shallow in terms of RPG elements. Buuuut it's hard to say that's something to its detriment, as it made it an extremely good RPG for younger audiences. Since I played this game when I was like 8, it left a really big impression on me and hooked me in a way that Morrowind couldn't. Of course I now regard Morrowind as a better game overall, but there's something to be said for Fable's way of introducing people to how choices could affect gameplay in RPGs.
