This game was the first RPG I ever played. As an 8 year old whose only prior experience with video games was racing/flying games, it blew the ever loving shit out of my mind. To this day, this game remains in my top 25 favorites. An absolute fucking masterpiece.
same here, in fact it was the first story based game i had played, games before that where usually maze games or racing games for me, without fable, i really wouldn't have gotten so into gaming
SteppupFoRetsam Me too!! I played this game at 7-9, it was my first rated M game my parents let me play (they played it before we kids did, so...). I still love this game (and this kick ass theme, never knew as a kid Elfman did it). Even after playing Skyrim (and other games too), I still hold Fable dear!
I was 10. It was 2007 and so much happiness not just in a game, but everything in my life - school, friends, parents , grandparents, my journey with grandma to the Black Sea, adventures in Caucasian mountains, everything was so fine. Happy childhood memories
The main mistake is that they havn't kept this main theme in the following ones. It's like imagine James Bond without it's main theme, it's unbellievable. This was one of the most EPIC music of our ages.
for me it was better the second time cus i wasnt 10 anymore and understood the humor, played it for the first time back in 2012-13 i dont remember completely
It’s never the same. You’re chasing a dragon. Just like a drug, it just hit different the first time. It basically relativity but applied to iconic gaming experiences. Bully is my number one nostalgic game.
You could sense Danny Elfmans work from the way the music was composed. The similarities in instrument composition between fable released in 2004 and the sam raimi spiderman of 2002 esp. Vocals 1:12, Drumming 1:52 and transitions 2:16
He does this spiral scale thing in just about everything he composes. It’s his signature. Simpsons, Batman, beetlejuice, you name it, it’s in there somewhere.
I started playing this game today and the moment i heard the intro theme i was like..."this kinda sounds like a mix of Spider-Man and Batman's theme," imagine my surprise when I found out that Elfman was the composer :P

Not gonna lie Fable has single-handedly shaped how i view alot of things I love nearly everything about this game I love the tight combat system, the whole world of Albion and the legendary tale that has yet to be told, only by the player and the legacy they create But there's still a motivation to the protagonist that makes sense almost any way you bend it Either the protagonist overthrows the villain and becomes one himself in a hunt for power Or you defeat the villain and take on the grand destiny of defending all of Albion from ever facing evil's wrath again Or maybe you could be somewhere in between, if you really wanted, to create a complex but well defined hero who only wants revenge for the blood that had been spilled from his family I could go on and on, this game's story is rather simple, yet so addictive I just wish they kept going on with this kind and theme of game Can't ever find anything to fill the need that Fable sparked in me And of course, don't even get me started on the fantastic music..
Bro I knew it I heard this theme and I was like "dude either this is straight up Danny Elfman or somebody was really inspired by Edward scissorhands music"
@@lsthero5863 an adventure fantasy hack n slash in the hands of racing car games developers. This is the worst possible outcome. But who knows, they might do a good job. I'm just not convinced they'll pull through seeing as how they mainly make car games.
Fable 1, still my favorite out if all of them. Although the second one wasn't too bad, but it lacked a final boss and instead of dying you gained scars like 😐
The inability to die was the thing I disliked most about fable 2. It's still one of my favorite games for my xbox though. Haha! I just liked that you could fail things and actually had to worry about your health in the first one, and if I'm remembering correctly, in thenfirst, you got scars from taking damage if you didn't have some parts of your body covered by armor or clothing. Haha! That was always something I thought was really cool!
I never played the second one, but i do congratulate Fable 1 for the physical character details, the scars, the aging and the way strength, skill and will affect your visual appearance It's such an interesting way to design a character, while simultaneously leveling up and actually becoming more powerful
@@spartanwar1185 I just noticed the more old you get the more your teeth rot and your jaw gets very slightly crooked and your throat kinda hangs down or the other way around its kinda hard to tell.
Danny Elfman has won 2 Emmy Awards, 1 Grammy Award, and had 4 nominations for Academy Awards. His masterpiece is epic and we will forever remember soundtracks from this game as one of his best works.
As much as I lament Lionhead Studios shutting down, I really saw it coming. The company kept putting out games that did little more than break promises. The Fable series pretty much died after the third installment. The first game, Lost Chapters, and Anniversary were all good but they completely fell away from their good habits in the first game and never learned from their mistakes. They kept refusing to live up to what they promised and making games that clearly needed to be worked on more. I lament the passing of Lionhead Studios, not because I thought they always made great games. But because they had something great and they shattered it without properly fixing the damage they did to such a promising series.
The technology was just no there yet. Peter was working on a project before leaving lionhead, it was going to be ground breaking a game that is essetialy a character that learns you and has almost human like intelligence and it used the micrsoft Kinect to see you and learn more about you. Look for a demo video he did on it. It was scary good and way ahead of its time. Now the technology is almost there for the type of game Peter wanted with the first fable game. I wish someone could bring him out of his slump.
Shit House Rat Yeah, I know this. I wish they had more to work with, but they also overestimated what they could do and didn't seem to listen to their fans.
Even the 1st one isn't one isn't a game I love to actually play nowadays, I wish they had taken it SUPER slowly and released something genuinely mind blowing to do justice to imo one of the best worlds ever created in gaming, something that would have me come back to it for the gameplay. I know it's not fleshed out to the extent some other worlds are, I know it's not as beloved as Zelda's world etc., but my god that unique charm is through the roof. I played it so much as a kid that even just the sounds of the game, from the music to all the iconic chants npc's make, the strangely harmonic balverine howls, bandit sneers and whimpers and such, it's all so vivid in my memory and nothing is remotely like it.
This is Danny Elfman, and I swear he has most of my absolute favourite compositions in his repertoire... No one can tell me he has a bad (sounding) song (Even "Little Girls" is unfortunately very catchy). The Simpsons, 1989 Batman, Always Sunny in Philidelphia, most of the Nightmare Before Christmas music, Planet of the Apes, Fable and Fable 2 (I'm unsure if he did anything for Fable 3), he has one hell of a track list to his name...
little girls was also written as a mockery towards Hollywood predators at the time too. A lot of people dislike him for that song not realizing it's MEANT to disgust you with the bluntness. I love Danny Elfman and his music so much 😂 and the fable theme is no exception
*EPIC* this game teaches you about life I will forever replay it every few years And my children will also play it,if I ever get any,I will put this game to them 7 December 2022,26 yrs Ah yes,Holiday season is upon us 🎄
It felt like it lived and breathed, like it wasn't just something people programmed etc.. Possibilities didn't feel finite, I was never taken out of the immersion, it's like I was really there on an adventure, and I remember the locations etc. in much the same way I remember real childhood locations. But words can't truly explain the way we felt experiencing things like this as kids... But hey, a kid would never understand the uniquely compelling ways we can have fun as adults, even with things like games, depending on who you are.
Ye I just many years later realized that Fable's theme shared many similarities with Spider-Man soundtracks...and only then I realized that ofc they were composed by the same guy :D
Out of the three games, this one is the absolute nostalgic and best. The nostalgia of that first moment you pop in the disc on your Xbox, you're set for one amazing adventure...
I remember growing up with a GameCube and original Xbox. We didn't have a PS2. There were 2 games I absolutely love on those consoles during my childhood. For the GameCube is was Wind Waker. A fantastic open world that in my opinion set up a lot of tropes for modern open world games. The other game I grew up absolutely being absorbed in was Fable. The game was so unique, and had a great quest. As a kid I though Jack of Blades was an ally at first (the original doesn't have a super evil voice like the later versions,) and was shocked when he betrayed me. The amount of spells and side content kept me playing a ton back then helped start my love of Western RPGs. The crazy characters, villages, silver keys, talking doors, and bloody chickens all just further made it a memorable experience. I sincerely hope that Fable 4 gets that Mario Odyssey, or specically Breath of the Wild treatment where the developers find just what it was that made people fall in love with the series and make something beautiful out of it.
this brings back good memories, first game I ever owned for the X-box it cam with my X-box I didn't understand what M meant, soon after I under stood LOL I'd always brag to my friends that I had it because it was the most mature game of it's time
Its sad but I have this kick ass character im making a book out of and I keep looking for theme tunes for him and this is epic! I can imagine an introduction of a film with this music.
there's no point in beating fable 1 in two hours. if you did then you seriously missed the point of the game yes, the main story was short, but most reasonable people overlooked this in the face of the multitude of interesting and varied side quests; the colourful, vibrant world; the distinctly british sense of humour and, as this video perfectly illustrates, the beautiful soundtrack. add to this the extra content included in the lost chapters and you have yourself an excellent game my friend
The days of games on disc. I had this on Xbox (the inferior version, I know), but it was badly scratched and would almost never work. The way I would always know if it would, could it make it through the opening cinematic and to the title screen? Every single time I played this game I sat and watched and listened to this opening with pure anticipation and fear. If it works I’m gonna have so much fun, and if it doesn’t it’s gonna ruin my whole day. I’d try the disc over and over and over again for hours. Had people tell me to give up trying, but I wouldn’t, and it would always work in the end. I fell in love with this cinematic and theme just because it was the measure for me, will I get to play or not?
I feel like they could EASILY make a new Fable that's as good as the first one was. What if they did one on the character's mother so it actually brought you back? She was a hero, that'd be pretty neat.
I was just thinking about that while I was playing it at work today. Maybe a tutorial involving killing bugs, but builds up to her first balverine. We get so little of what she could actually do besides use an ax, but as a Hero she had to have at least some knowledge of Skill and Will. And there could be a lot involving Jack of Blades, especially since she knows so much about him already. I doubt it's all just from her time in prison.
I remember going to the mall as a kid seeing grown ass men arguing which game was better dragon quest 8, fable, kotor and morowrwind all while waiting in line for final fantasy 5 on gba coming out; all them being pillars or hallmarks of a series. All so much nostalgia now
The best Fable ever made! I still play TLC all the time. Although I enjoyed the story in the sequels, I think they shouldn't have been made from the start. The gameplay and lack of RPG elements in them made it nothing close to what a Fable game should be.
If I could make a sequel, it would involve re-establishing the guild, and recruiting new heroes to either help or strike fear into the denizens of Albion, Aurora, and a new land based off North America. Combat would be tweaked, based on your strength, skill, or will. For example, strength-heavy characters would use classic swords/axes/maces for melee, and would throw spears or axes for ranged. Skill-heavy characters would use more ninjutsu-esque melee fighting, and would be equipped with firearms/bows for ranged. Will-heavy characters would use spells for ranged, but would augment their bare hands with magic to hit harder than a normal person can possibly do for melee. Other humorous features would be to make your farts so toxic, they can kill someone.
Fable is a wonderful game, 3 was borderline worthless, 2 was so easy, 1 was challenging, original, and inventive, if not a bit generic at times, I still want lion head to make a Black and White that isn't aimed at casual gamers however, that would be nice
I know I'm replying to a five year old comment here, but none of the Fables are in any way challenging. The first one did so many things right, but it was fun because it made you feel like an overpowered demigod, not because of the challenge.
Fable 2 and 3 were really good, but personally, the first one will always be my favorite because it has two things that I believe the other two downplayed: it truly like a fantasy adventure with a lot of mysteries to uncover, and that you were witnessing the unfolding of a legend. The other two had these but I felt their quality had diminished due to the stories set closer to modern times. It felt like the fantasy was fading too much. Hope I made sense and I still love the series as a whole despite these things and I'm looking forward to Fable 4 if the rumors are true.
I will have to say, but the first fable might as well be the hardest, because there are some puzzles that are hard to figure out. There were lives in the first fable, but i don't understand why the Lives system was taken out since that was one of the few things that made the game difficult. Who agrees?
Tretogo Mercenaries players You must not have played the first Fable because there were no puzzles. I mean, if you count sneaking past the bandits in one mission, that's about it. But yeah, it's the hardest because there are actually consequences for having your HP at 0.
BoydTheMilkmanX Well, Obviously I did play the game and the entire series since I wouldn't be here if I didn't. What I meant by puzzles was the Demon doors, they sometimes offer an challenge, but not usually that hard (Unless you don't want to change your character to suit their needs.) . Yet, I missed the consequences of losing all my health and permanently dying, that gave a purpose to the resurrection phials, which were sort of meaningless in the later sequels (Which you can't die in!!!). Dying in Fable I was possible, It was Impossible in the other sequels which somehow revives you without resurrection phials and walk among the living again with a few scars.
Who else thinks they should have kept this theme for the entire series
This comment should have so many likes.
They should have 'kept it, or have different versions of it for each game. Like the Elder Scrolls theme.
They made it the music box theme
It's amazing
YOU MEAN THEY DROPPED IT IN THE NEWER GAMES!?

It's like imagine James Bond without it's main theme, it's unbellievable.
This was one of the most EPIC music of our ages.

They did. This is the music of the music box. The thing is this music left the theme

It sounds a little like his violin concerto Eleven Eleven.
If this were a movie and not a game it could be a classic in history
I hear Batman also lol
I here batman, Edward scissor hands, corpse bride and nightmare before Christmas, Danny elfman is a legend. But is best was the Simpson theme😅
He does this spiral scale thing in just about everything he composes. It’s his signature. Simpsons, Batman, beetlejuice, you name it, it’s in there somewhere.
I started playing this game today and the moment i heard the intro theme i was like..."this kinda sounds like a mix of Spider-Man and Batman's theme," imagine my surprise when I found out that Elfman was the composer :P
Puneet Kumar Elfman has a tendency to use the same motifs in his music so that’s probably why it feels so familiar.
No the same, but some are very similar, only some, in fact he also did very different score,he is a very versatile composer.
eXquisite Gaming cool xD

Not gonna lie
Fable has single-handedly shaped how i view alot of things
I love nearly everything about this game
I love the tight combat system, the whole world of Albion and the legendary tale that has yet to be told, only by the player and the legacy they create
But there's still a motivation to the protagonist that makes sense almost any way you bend it
Either the protagonist overthrows the villain and becomes one himself in a hunt for power
Or you defeat the villain and take on the grand destiny of defending all of Albion from ever facing evil's wrath again
Or maybe you could be somewhere in between, if you really wanted, to create a complex but well defined hero who only wants revenge for the blood that had been spilled from his family
I could go on and on, this game's story is rather simple, yet so addictive
I just wish they kept going on with this kind and theme of game
Can't ever find anything to fill the need that Fable sparked in me

Yes, Fable 2 is just missing something. The original game was flawed, but had character. And this music.
@ImTheHaloGod That's utterly brilliant mate! looking around for it for YEARS! can't thank you enough!
SIMPLY A MASTERPIECE NO WONDER NO ONE COULD4VE REPLICATE IT
Fable made me understand as a kid how a choice of yourself can chance things
A masterpiece ❤️
GLORIA Y HONOR AL HEROE DE OAKVALE!
We need Fable IV with Danny Elfman as lead composer
This was made by Danny Elfman. The same guy who made the old Batman theme, Bettlejuice, and Nightmare Before Christmas.
fables back baybeeeee
there's no point in beating fable 1 in two hours. if you did then you seriously missed the point of the game
yes, the main story was short, but most reasonable people overlooked this in the face of the multitude of interesting and varied side quests; the colourful, vibrant world; the distinctly british sense of humour and, as this video perfectly illustrates, the beautiful soundtrack.
add to this the extra content included in the lost chapters and you have yourself an excellent game my friend
it feels so nice to hear this again
I remember playing this game all day once and when I tried to sleep I kept hearing, "Hero your will energy is low! Watch that."
Fable 4 confirmed.👍
The days of games on disc. I had this on Xbox (the inferior version, I know), but it was badly scratched and would almost never work. The way I would always know if it would, could it make it through the opening cinematic and to the title screen? Every single time I played this game I sat and watched and listened to this opening with pure anticipation and fear. If it works I’m gonna have so much fun, and if it doesn’t it’s gonna ruin my whole day. I’d try the disc over and over and over again for hours. Had people tell me to give up trying, but I wouldn’t, and it would always work in the end. I fell in love with this cinematic and theme just because it was the measure for me, will I get to play or not?
Yeah! This is the best of the series no question!
after 12 years, I decided to stream this game and everyone LOVES it, board the nostalgia train lads
this theme still kicks ass. i want this theme back in fable 4
Marvelous!
This brings back memories
i love this game!! it's beautilful wonderful!!!!!
Better be in fable 4
I feel like they could EASILY make a new Fable that's as good as the first one was. What if they did one on the character's mother so it actually brought you back? She was a hero, that'd be pretty neat.
I was just thinking about that while I was playing it at work today. Maybe a tutorial involving killing bugs, but builds up to her first balverine. We get so little of what she could actually do besides use an ax, but as a Hero she had to have at least some knowledge of Skill and Will. And there could be a lot involving Jack of Blades, especially since she knows so much about him already. I doubt it's all just from her time in prison.
Sa rappel de très bon souvenirs!!!!!
Perfect music for a story of a kid losing everything and growing up to be Albion's greatest hero.
Or greatest villain.
@@thecuchikiller That would be Jack
Imagine in the studio making this song goin hard as fluck
Broooooooo, this is soooooooo nostalgic!!!
If only I can play this game today and feel the same way I did when I was 10 !
I’m still playing this now
This song is so epic, so heroic. This fucking game i love it. Made me buy the series X even when the game is not even close to realease.
I remember going to the mall as a kid seeing grown ass men arguing which game was better dragon quest 8, fable, kotor and morowrwind all while waiting in line for final fantasy 5 on gba coming out; all them being pillars or hallmarks of a series. All so much nostalgia now
Not even bothering to turn down the volume
My ears welcome this theme of Fable, a piece of my childhood
The best Fable ever made! I still play TLC all the time. Although I enjoyed the story in the sequels, I think they shouldn't have been made from the start. The gameplay and lack of RPG elements in them made it nothing close to what a Fable game should be.
i've probobly finished this game like 7 or 8 times and i still want to play it again its just that awesome
If I could make a sequel, it would involve re-establishing the guild, and recruiting new heroes to either help or strike fear into the denizens of Albion, Aurora, and a new land based off North America.
Combat would be tweaked, based on your strength, skill, or will. For example, strength-heavy characters would use classic swords/axes/maces for melee, and would throw spears or axes for ranged. Skill-heavy characters would use more ninjutsu-esque melee fighting, and would be equipped with firearms/bows for ranged. Will-heavy characters would use spells for ranged, but would augment their bare hands with magic to hit harder than a normal person can possibly do for melee.
Other humorous features would be to make your farts so toxic, they can kill someone.
La canción más épica que estos oídos hayan escuchado, trae tanta nostalgia
EPIC GAME with EPIC MUSIC!!
If someone could accurately tab this for guitar that would be great
Hey kiddos this great guy Danny Elfman also composed music for the simpsons and many movies such as the nightmare before Christmas and batman 🤘😎
wwhere is the rap part???
EPIC!! HONOR AND GLORIA TO THE HERO OF OAKVALE!
Fable is a wonderful game, 3 was borderline worthless, 2 was so easy, 1 was challenging, original, and inventive, if not a bit generic at times, I still want lion head to make a Black and White that isn't aimed at casual gamers however, that would be nice
I know I'm replying to a five year old comment here, but none of the Fables are in any way challenging. The first one did so many things right, but it was fun because it made you feel like an overpowered demigod, not because of the challenge.
GeneralFatman27 for me it was challenging cuz i sucked at video games back in these days
@@JoeEver123 physical shield + Mana potions) gamebreaking
This game is so epic, the whole story makes the game epic and specially soundtrack :))
Fable 2 and 3 were really good, but personally, the first one will always be my favorite because it has two things that I believe the other two downplayed: it truly like a fantasy adventure with a lot of mysteries to uncover, and that you were witnessing the unfolding of a legend. The other two had these but I felt their quality had diminished due to the stories set closer to modern times. It felt like the fantasy was fading too much.
Hope I made sense and I still love the series as a whole despite these things and I'm looking forward to Fable 4 if the rumors are true.
Lol, I read someone said Fable 2 was the most challenging. How the fuck was it the most challenging when YOU CAN'T DIE?
Lol and fable III was easier than the II... Maybe in fable IV, there will be no enemies ... As you can still kick chicken asses...
I will have to say, but the first fable might as well be the hardest, because there are some puzzles that are hard to figure out. There were lives in the first fable, but i don't understand why the Lives system was taken out since that was one of the few things that made the game difficult.
Who agrees?
Tretogo Mercenaries players You must not have played the first Fable because there were no puzzles. I mean, if you count sneaking past the bandits in one mission, that's about it. But yeah, it's the hardest because there are actually consequences for having your HP at 0.
BoydTheMilkmanX Well, Obviously I did play the game and the entire series since I wouldn't be here if I didn't. What I meant by puzzles was the Demon doors, they sometimes offer an challenge, but not usually that hard (Unless you don't want to change your character to suit their needs.) . Yet, I missed the consequences of losing all my health and permanently dying, that gave a purpose to the resurrection phials, which were sort of meaningless in the later sequels (Which you can't die in!!!).
Dying in Fable I was possible, It was Impossible in the other sequels which somehow revives you without resurrection phials and walk among the living again with a few scars.
Demon Doors were in every single game, so how is Fable 1 any different?
