Try to get your combat multiplier even higher
Worth playing through, though TLC add a lot more content.
Ugly as hell and weird beyond belief, but it was cool when I was like, 13.
Ah... my childhood
lmao
Pues es un RPG muy majo. Divertido y simpaticón.
that was a game yeah
Dá pra bater em criança, 10/10
Do YOU have any potions? Food?
the only game i ever played on xbox, and my save file spanned over more than a year bc i played it at a friends house
Peter Molyneux hyped the shit out of this game, but it somehow still managed to live up to expectations with its unique atmosphere and quirky sense of humor
Childhood Classic
The most British game. Whimsical adventures and fulgar humor with a dash of high society snobbery. Great game with mild RPG elements and surprisingly fun management aspects. Combat is janky nowadays, but throwing out cool spells and finishing combos is worth getting stun locked now and again.
Chicken chaser... Do you chase chickens?
RPG entretenido con diálogos divertidos. La mecánica del karma está guay y algunas misiones te sacan una carcajada. La historia es una basura.
Fable is pretty clunky, but it's worth a play.
I don't understand the appeal of this franchise.
A lot of it may seem super subjective but I cannot stand the art style, humor or the story telling. Some interesting ideas for it's time but I've never enjoyed playing it.

Had this on live arcade 360. Don't know why that isn't listed as an option.
Remember skipping school to play this
Although it may feel clunky and antiquated by todays standards, the original Fable remains a landmark of fantasy RPGs as it delivers one of the purest and most charming fairytale stories to ever have been put to game. Featuring memorable music, characters and locations, all interwoven perfectly by a fantastically witty and whimsical script that soon came to define the whole series.
My only major gripe is with the combat and how it makes the game a slog to get through and near unplayable if it were not for the spells. Given the tutorials during the prologue, it is clear Lionhead had ambitions to employ 3 distinct classes for players to experiment with, but unfortunately when it comes to combat, the game seems to be forcefully nudging you towards a spell/sword playstyle to avoid making half the game torturous with its auto-blocking enemies with nearly instantaneous knock-down attacks.
And although simplistic now, all the RPG mechanics simmered throughout, such as marriage, pub games, drinking, and buying properties, go a long way to making the game feel alive and breathing, and although these were all fleshed out further in later entries, it is great to see where it all started. This game may feel old, but it still feels ahead of its time for 2004.
My favourite thing about Fable has to be all the funny little item descriptions and headstone engravings though, they never fail to make me laugh.

Make games again, Peter
very good game
Fable is a relic of a begotten time, a game that I'm not sure would be as successful if introduced now yet extremely entertaining in 2004. In a rich and quirky world filled with the legendary British style of humour, you become a hero (of sorts) in a land where things have clearly gone awry. Questions and occurrences that gauge your morality are filled all throughout Fable which sees your character go from child to adult, how will you respond to the threat facing the land?

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.
Flawed and probably not as fun as I remember, but very charming.
Good enough I guess.
(Played on PC, just didn't play Lost Chapters)
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

I liked it like a neat little game, didn't realized that Molyneux was already controversial at the time of it's release
this game is SO stupid
