I remember going into my brother's save file and having his hero eat a butt load of crunchy chicks, beat up villagers, marry someone and then sacrifice her to Skorm. When he played a few days later, his once glowing blue eyed hero was a fat, balding, murderous, divorced demon with flies buzzing around him. He grew to like him.

Yup, was pre internet time for me, got it on CD by recommendation of a friend. Absolutely enjoyed it. Actually this is the first time I hear about this overhype by Mollineux. My only review source back then were PC gaming magazines and the one I read usually only made tests of finished products. Got good reviews there too, so I`m really surprised xD. Maybe a good prove, that hyping can do more harm than good sometimes. I mean Vampires Bloodline f. ex was brilliant. Once you get it to actually run by patching. I bet if it came out today in the way it did back then, it would get roasted into oblivion and no one would remember it as one of the best RPGs ever to be made. Times really changed, jeez...

Okay, but the whole acorn thing, I think, could have actually been implemented- and relatively simply. Basically: Make a spot in the world TO plant an acorn, and once the player does then it accrues a “growth point” after each quest is completed in the game; and after X amount of ‘points’ are accrued (behind the scenes) the acorn/trees grows into a new stage of its development. Naturally, one potential drawback is that you may not be able to see the acorn grow fully if you plant the acorn too late in your playthrough (since there wouldn’t be any more quests to complete after a certain point, depending on if you’re playing The Lost Chapters or not). You COULD tie the acorn to the clock, much like how the crime fine system is, and thus allowing a player to see the full growth. But then the progress of said growth would most likely be exponentially slower and players may give up on waiting for the growth before it’s finished.

I'm playing the entire series for the first time, I finished 1 and just started fable 2 yesterday and it's been fucking fantastic. Honestly, sometimes it's better to wait for a game to age, like a fine wine.

Molyneux is the king of overpromising in games, but despite this, he still has managed to head up some pretty entertaining titles. I think part of it is that, while he's pretty detached from reality, he approaches games from the point of 'what is a concept that will be interesting and fun?' rather than 'what is a concept that is technically feasible?'. The end result is some games that stand out as unique and entertaining games, despite their failure to deliver on the original hype. It got to the point where when he'd announce a new revolutionary game, I'd just roll my eyes and open my wallet.

I can't tell what's funnier about this video. The editing, the David Attenborough style commentary or just how good bad this game is. Whichever it us, I've subbed through laughter induced tears.

I can honestly say this was one of the first video game I ever played on the OG Xbox other than halo two, which came with the Xbox. It was such a fun and fascinating experience for my first RPG. I still couldn’t believe the amount of things I was allowed to do in that game. Wild Knights of the old republic. Will probably go down as my favorite RPG of all time. Fable is a very close second.

The hype around this game was insane. This was at a time when video game magazine subscriptions were still a thing and I remember waiting every month for more screenshots and details, still playing Morrowind to get my RPG fix and bide time. There were a lot of unfulfilled promises, but to me it was still fascinating to see your character change over time, become grotesque or heavenly, become fat or muscular, and to watch his hair and beard grow. Those features were groundbreaking at the time, and those are mechanics we still hold dear today in games like RDR2.

I was only six when it came out, and since my dad didn't want me to play his rated M games (wonder why) I had to sneak down at night to play this. So I just remember how good the game was and never heard any of the broken promises so I came in completely blind to this game and just played a game that now holds a lot of nostalgia for me

Fable may not have lived up to the hype, but it did start a series that I’ve adored for years. I’m only sad I no longer have a way to play Fable 2 and 3 since my Xbox 360 broke.

The game was fun enough, but when you promise big the expectations follow. For 2004, if people didn't know what they "thought" they were missing, the game would have stood on it's merits just fine.

Well, it wasn't called "Project Ego" for nothing. I imagine someone at Lionhead suggested the project name as a joke about Molyneux' ego only to have it actually picked up as a working title.

I never heard of the multiplayer side being promised, but I do remember all the hype about how open the world was, and how your choices were responsible for how that world evolved. I also remember realizing that it was mostly a bunch of lies, but I DON'T remember being all that mad about it. I had fun with the game regardless, and played it through a couple of times.

So many promises for Fable that never happened. I still love it. I playing Fable when it came out and loving it and buying Lost Chapters when it came out and loving it even more. Though I do wish all the stuff that was promised did come out.
