Don't do this. That guy is not funny.

Anyways I am a huge fan of the Fable series and I will admit there is a [censored] ton wrong with it. Bugs, way to easy, short, broken promises... I could list a few more but those are the most important ones.

Having had some time to think, I'm really excited to see where the story will go. It's pretty heavily implied that all the events of Fable 2 were
Spoiler
a Xanatos gambit by Theresa to gain control of the Spire
and I was hoping this would be expanded upon in Fable 3, and though it wasn't, it's a plot thread too good just to abandon. I'd also like to see what other lands we'll be able to travel to - I know several other places have been mentioned before - and what the setting will be - if 3 is in the industrial revolution, given the jumps in time so far, it shouldn't be too long before Albion hits the equivalent of our modern age, and even the future.

Spoiler
I think that she will probablly get corrupted by the darkness, the darkness blinds people (walter) and posseses them (walter) Theresa is already blind, might not be the darkness that did it, but I dont know just got that feeling, and the fact she is in a position of power with the spire. And they left out the shadow court. Which seems like it would be strongly linked to the darkness, and the shadow court remind me of the court of blades, which is linked to the sword of Aeons, linked to the archon.
God I really want them to pull all that together.

I think fable will jusr keep going back in cycles, some empire is bult up, people abondon magic, rthen some magical force comes and wipes out the world, then everything rebuilds with magic.
Allthough this is entirely based of the fact the guild seal looks like an infinity symbol, and the old kingdom getting wiped out and a new one built on top. Even though he old kindom came after another kingdom the blades destroyed.
Damn I forgot how interesting fable was.
He doesn't have to be funny to be right. Oh and I think he's funny.

Mindjack review = win.
Also he is right.

[Warning Following is My Personal Opinion Only]

Pretty much sums up what I think about Fable.
In my books it is just wannabe RPG for modern casual market.

For graphics, I don't mind what it looks. But if the core gameplay is [censored] no graphics or excuses can save game at that point.
Trust me, I know. I've been there myself.

Not dragging it off topic, but if fable isnt an rpg neither is mass effect 2.
Fable has a small number of skills you level up like mass effect 2.
Fable has the option to be an ass or be a saint, so does ME2.

Hoiw isnt fable an rpg yet everyone thinks ME is ? They are both pretty much the same.
(sorry but this is something that kinda annoys me because I get sick of seeing it).

When I mentioned ME2?
In Mass Effect you go in deep conversations with NPCs while in Fable 3 you just fart on their faces or dance with them. There is your difference.

Dumping down skills and features is modern trend in RPGs. Mass Effect 2 did it right, Fable in other hand is just a mess after Dev's decided to
make it so that everyone can play and "enjoy" the game.

Fable = press A to be a nice guy, X to be a dike, mass efect choose bottom option to be a dike, top to be nice.n Same for moral choices, and both stats are dumbed down, same.

Yeah because ME2 didnt dumb down to the point where you dont need stats, and could just play it like a tps.

Indeed, but Fable just don't have same seriousness what Mass Effect series have. ME2 did right thing to clean that mess what they had in first game.
Fable just dumped down more and mixed it with horrid mechanics. And it is easier to like Mass Effect series since there is very little sci-fi RPGs
on market at the moment.

Mass Effect 2 and Fable are both streamlined games designed for masses. Where games like Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls and Fallout are designed for
RPG fans in mind and same time being playable for casual players.

Seriousness dosent effect its genre

Fable is industrial, those are even rarer times, both have poor mechanics and are shallow rpgs, yet one is considered action, one is an rpg, even fable 1 which is far superior to 3, is "action" the only reason people call ME2 an rpg is its a BW game, personally I dont like that.

There's a fan theory that Theresa either created or unleashed the darkness
but I don't know if I want to see her be that evil, that's like cruelty for the sake of cruelty, rather than her own motivations in Fable 2

I think
Spoiler
The darkness is from the shadow court, who is linked to the court of blades, just spirits of them maybe ? Reavers sacrafices give them more power. And they will likely come back and ruin Albion, Theresa will probablly be thier puppet or something getting everything set up, then the blades come back, ruin the world, your hero kills them, relasing magic and starting up the old kingdom, and history just repeats itself.

Allthough its really heavily hinted Theresa is evil, fable 2 hinted it, fable 3 is. Shame we will likely need another "see the future" like dlc to know what happens. They had 5 fables planned, so f that true we are near the big bad guy reveal that ruins everything, then fixing it in 5.

I kind of hate how you can't control when you do finishing moves, it's just so random.

Is the graphics argument over? Reading through it, it seemed the Oblivion fans were using the "NANANA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" tactic. Seriously, if Fable is doing one thing right it's graphics.

Althoug I hope the discussion OB vs Fable is over I was defending OBs graphics :stare: and I don't think I was using that "tactic".

BTW about hte "32 reasons" whatever vid, I agree with pretty much everything and yet for some reason I enjoy Fable :shrug: (I would rate III a 7/10 or so but still a fun game).

I hated Fable II so obviously, i didn't buy Fable III despite the good reviews. Fable II was well recieved aswell after all and many people actually like it.

Why i don't like Fable II?
- The combat was borring.
- The story was bad.
- The roleplaying elements wasn't very good.
- The characters was faceless and it was pointless to get to know them.
- The whole thing with the character changing appearance depending on moral was stupid and childish.

+ i wasn't a fan of the dog and the minigames either.

I still like Fable II more than Fable III... I just hope the next Fable game doesn't give your character a voice... Worst. Move. Ever.

I loved Fable. But I feel like if I go back I'll hate it. I just keep the nostalgia. I loved the humor, the things you could do with your character, the story, the humor again :P It was just a great game overall. Obviously the best of the series.

Fable 2 I recently replayed, and it's definitely one of my favorite games. I like the humor even more in it, and the graphics and customization (while limited) is awesome. I also really enjoyed the story of Fable 2, but everyone here seems to think it was really bad.

I've beat Fable 3 three different times, to do all the endings and what-not. It's an okay game. It's not bad, and it's not good. It's the perfect average game. At first, at the castle, I thought "Oh my God, how could they get away with such horrible graphics like these?!" But then I really looked at it, and compared it to Fable 2 and some other games, and I realized the graphics are very good. Especially in the desert section of the game!

I can see why people don't like the Fable series. They're pretty linear, the cartoonish graphics can bother some, and the humor won't get to some people. A lot of people think too highly of story, I think. When I look for a good story, then I get a book, or watch an old movie. I play video games for fun, and if there's a good story to be told then that's just a bonus.

I dunno. That's my random ass summary of my experience with Fable.

I haven't played Fable 3 yet but I though Fable 2 was quite enjoyable. Granted, it could never compete with an Elder Scrolls game in the fantasy RPG category, but if you go into it expecting a fun adventure game you'll be much less disappointed than if you go in expecting a deep, enthralling RPG.

Fable 1 was awesome. Cool characters and jack of blades was pretty sweet. Fable 2 was mediocre. Haven't played fable 3 but it looks like utter crap. I would pay maybe 20 bucks tops for it.

I liked the original Fable especially with TLC but each Fable game has become worse and worse in my opinion. It has gone from being a fun if a bit shallow franchise to an extremely boring and extremely shallow franchise that offers crap for replayability and crap for entertainment. Peter Molyneux has definately lost his touch, the biggest problem is that they've simplified the game to the point that there is no thought involved. For combat you simply mash the hell out of three buttons. You only have a few expressions available per NPC in Fable 3, shops frequently have one or two items in stock, they try and milk player's pocketbooks even futher with add ons like charging people to use a certain color of dye on their clothes, or an extra breed of dog, or a single set of clothes counting as a DLC...total BS.

Don't get me started on transforming weapons and the fact that the color of your children is randomly determined. I'm not a racist but it makes me mad when the game ignores the basic rules of biology and even though both parents are white I have a black child...I'm like ok wtf I'm going to kill my neighbor now.
