Honey wipe my schedule. A youtuber I haven't heard of just uploaded a half an hour long video essay about a game I haven't played in 15 years. Fable was really my intro to RPGs as a kid. If it weren't for this game I never would have fallen in love with oblivion and realized how impactful games can be on someone.
Probably one of the best video games I’ve ever played and definitely pushed me into fantasy RPG’s as I got older without this game, I don’t think I would be into the elder scrolls or the souls games this game holds a very special place in my heart
Subbed. Fable is one of the greatest RPGs I have ever played. I would say it definitely still holds up. When I was a kid, there wasn't the lost chapters for a while, so when I played through both versions I was blown away by just the voice changes for Jack of Blades, but the first time I touched down on the Northern Wastes was mildly terrifying as a kid, you come across a giant sealed door that guards an old, abandoned, haunted graveyard where an entire town was wiped out in an instant. I still love this game, I do hope that the newer Fable will look to the first game for some inspiration. Character building mechanics were the best in the franchise, and overall it definitely felt a good bit less janky than Fable 2 and 3, which both make it seem like your character is running on ice constantly.
I still play this through on og Xbox every few years. The visual style, the music, the simple and intuitive combat...it's a great game. 20 years ago, Peter Molyneux planted an acorn that has grown into a die-hard fandom.
You say that Fable is outdated, but I don't see more modern RPGs outdoing Fable in its strong points as there weren't at release. Stuff like a world reactive to your choices, choices impacting the appearence, being evil, etc. In Fable The Lost Chapters you can basically kill all the unique characters during the playthrough, if you want.
Yes absolutely. I replayed it on PC just last year. The story is still tightly told, characters may be one dimensional but that just makes them stand for something. I'll always love that first walk through Dark wood I love watching traders walk through maps with bandits giving you tons of opportunities to intervene or even just watch. Combat is alright still. Play this
I know that there's a lot of "judging it by today's standards" speak going on but uhhh.... those same complaints were voiced back in the day. That Fable's childhood stuff was too short, there weren't enough of the consequences to your actions promised beyond a simple good/evil choice that was pretty cartoonish, and the game being super short. All those points were raised back in 2004 in criticism of the game.
And I was born in 2000 and paid 3 dollars for the game in 2012 knowing nothing about it and it was fun. But yeah I would be pissed too knowing all the things that Peter guy says
All the lies the developers told at every convention it didn't hold up the day of release.. go back and listen to them hype it. You'd think they made skyrim.....
At least you covered the OG version and not that hideous remaster. Fable is the only game in the series that feels British (it's predominantly English in this game), the sequels were very much an Americanised interpretation of Britishness and I couldn't stand it personally.
the fact that your most frequent criticism about a 20 year old game is that it's a bit outdated is quite outstanding

A decision was made that I can respect

Nice video, buddy. Keep it up.
I hope this gets one million views and you get more subs
Fable was life changing for me because it made me an Xbox gamer, i can't wait for the new one.
Literally the best OST of all time

Should have just put "Yes" in the thumbnail picture.
I hate how fable 2 and 3 was only on the 360 and not ported to steam

I think most people being children when they played it made them blind to that when they look back on it now.
