That would be nice.

[@PhyreI3ird]

Yeah this is the thing I have to disagree with him the hardest on. I understand not liking an aesthetic, and not liking a subject matter, but not liking subject matter because of the aesthetic or vise versa is just ridiculously arbitrary. I'd say that tonally Fable 2 is particularly awful with balancing the overbearingly """"silly"""" npcs and jokey aspects with its super serious main story, but tonal inconsistency is _completely_ different. The aesthetics (including musically speaking) at least in Fable 1 are there to give an almost whimsical, fairytale feel while the game also indulges in really dark shit. Those things coming together like an awesome mixture of both the modern, family-friendly and the OG-hardcore fairytales. It's fookin' beautiful and genuinely clever if you ask me!

[@walterreynoldsthefourhundr819]

I've got mixed feelings on this video. On the one hand, I agree that the games didn't have the most interesting systems, and that a lot of the systems were pointless. On the other hand, I know why they were that way, and I like the redundancy of a lot of it. It's somewhat like Crysis in that way. The studio put as much random stuff in as they could. And while the third game isn't great it was still alright. The second game is still great, because you could interact with everyone. You never had to, you could just ignore everything but the required quests and some sidequests, but that was the beauty of it. You could be whoever you wanted to try to be. And the morality system helped with that. There were some quests like the one where a ghost asks you to make their ex-fiancee fall in love with you and break their heart. Some people really wanted to go either way, and that allowed you to chose a somewhat meaningful thing in the world. My final bit on the morality system, is the Temple of Shadows and the Temple of Light. You could drastically change the world based on who you chose to help, and that impacted the game in fun and interesting ways. I agree that the game was a bit ridiculous at points where it could have been more serious, but that was the charm of the series. The third game got too serious compared to the previous games. It still had it's fun bits, but it was much more serious than the others. And I think that is part of what lead to the downfall of the series and Lionhead.

Um...your character can talk sometimes so you don't have to use emotes for important story moments...That's about it. Conclusion - I should hate these games, why am I still playing, please help.

[@back5594]

The whole point of the game isnt for it to be grey or morally ambigious though. Your not supposed to think, what should I do ,tough choice, like a game like witcher 3. Its supossed to be morally karma based, you play it like, im going to a good playthrough or I am going to do a evil playthrough. like how when your fully good you have a halo or like when your fully evil you are a literal demon with horns from your head, I dont think you understand the concept. The whole point is that it is ''fable'' between pure good and pure evil and the curiousity of seeing how your character changes from becoming more evil or good. Like the infamous games idk if u played those.

[@start9976]

I agree, all of the games are made simply to have fun, in any of them, it allows you to be be a dick to everyone, or you can just play it normally and do the morally good things. Even in Fable 3 where you have to be king right after you just took over the kingdom solely because Logan is a dick, you can still be a dick of a king and that's HILARIOUS. I love all 3 games, and I think that Fable is the type of series that's not *supposed* to be looked at critically because lionhead didn't try to make objectively good games, they wanted to make games that you can dick around in for hours and have a fun time.

Fable 2 has been the only piece of media ive ever repeated. I hate rewatching movies, shows, and replaying video games - but Fable 2 I've replayed over a dozen times since I was 10.

Surprised you mentioned Fable 3’s Spell Weaving in a con instead of a plus. Overpowered or not, it’s a very neat system.

[@BLourenco96]

I just finished Fable 3, and I didn't find the spell weaving that interesting. It was basically instead of using 1 damage spell, you used 2 damage spells. Instead of using just fire or just lightning, you just use both at once. If it actually created some new effect that was exclusive to that combination and not possible by just using any of the individual spells, then maybe it would have been worth it. Also because they wanted this spell weaving system in the game, they had to strip it of even more spells, specifically the support spells because how do you weave those? At least Slow Time and Summon are still in the game as potions, but that's an incredibly lame solution to a problem they created.

The lost chapters managed to have the most shallow boring combat that was probably one of the most satisfying at the same time, not sure how thats possible but I liked it. Definitely the best entry in the series for me. I still install it every year or two and start playing through again. I think the fact that it is so basic is part of the attraction for me. When you need to destroy and explore , but not really have to think too much The Lost Chapters is the perfect remedy.

[@Mad_Oph]

Any game company that has Peter Molyneux on board essentially needs to keep him bound and gagged in the trunk during any press release or promotional advert. I think perhaps his work on Black & White was just foreshadowing the Fable morality system.

[@ir6734]

Fable The Lost Chapters was one of the first games I have bought. I didn't know shit about it beforehand, I just saw a cool box art. I was a stupid kid mind you. It's full of flaws and barebones systems but it has tons of charm and personality a lot of never games lack. Still one of my favourite games ever. 2 and 3 aren't bad games either. 2 is pretty great, while 3 is ok

Fable began its demise at the boss ending of fable 2 and died slowly from there. Hopefully the new fable will be based on the original but open world and increased difficulty.

Remember how you could break Fable II by just buying all stores, lowering the price, buy everything, raise the prices and sell everything for infinite profit?

[@rasplez9889]

Should've been more deeply ingrained in the game? Like... Pretty much 75% of skyrim's "decisions"? Building a house in Skyrim is like a chore to do, and you're only doing it because it's another thing to complete. But in kingdom come deliverance, building up a ruined bandit camp is you building somewhere to call home. You have a reason, it's full of unique opportunities and decisions, and it's part of the narrative. KCD is an example of what fable and Skyrim SHOULD have been, just on a much smaller but realised scale.

The sequels failed to understand what made it great. Microsoft purchased Lionhead post Fable 1's release. They pushed for accessibility and trends rather than perfecting what they had.

[@nickcasillas1618]

Golden Sun didn’t have a “Great Narrative Lie”. It and Lost Age were meant to be one game, first of all. And second of all, even though Isaac’s team was doing the wrong thing, if they didn’t do it, the villains of that game would have killed WAY more people, and Felix would not have saved the world in the second game.

[@kinkrow6221]

I personally felt that the excessively dark and grim backdrop against the colorful presentation and humor is what made Fable so great. When you look at historical fables like Snow White, you had vivid imagery of a lovely girls with snow white skin, onyx black hair, and ruby red lips. Then you find out her mother died as a child, her dad married and evil bitch, then later 'mysteriously' passed away leaving full control of the kingdom to the woman who would go on to attack his daughter for her beauty. Fables have always been colorful wrapping over a dark subject, a sort of 'gilded grimness' is what helped define them as their own tall tale genre. That gilded grimness is part of what helped establish and subvert expectations when nailed right; one of my all time favorite quests that I most prominently remember is when you rescue a grandmother's child that ran away from home, save him from Hobbes, only to find out that he ran because she abused him and punished him when he didn't do all her chores for her. Sure, he could be blowing it out of proportion, but when you consider the continual darkness present in the story, you wonder if you were almost the baddy for 'rescuing' him. TLDR; it's the grimdark stories with colorful presentation combined with Fable's 'do whatever' attitude that made it so great.

[@kinkrow6221]

Oh yeah, also the guild master continually asking about your health and mana. That was critical to the experience, Fable just wasn't Fable after they removed it. *sarcasm*

[@skeetskeet7041]

And now, new fable game

[@kkbbss]

Gotta say I really loved Fable 1. I have played that game so many times as both good and evil and with different builds (usual choose 1 path and stick to it even when I have maxed everything in the end). Loved how that the choices in the game actual made you feel like a good/bad guy (even though they usual didn't have any major impact on the story). It really felt like the story was about you. Then came fable 2. Even though it did improve at a few points it also brough some annoying one. I ended up only completing this once cause of the lackluster ended. If the ending of the game actual had a major end game boss fight instead of this either you or reaver shoots lucien. Then it might have been good. Even the end choices felt really poor, like in the original you had the choice to sacrifice your sister for the mightiest blade (before final chapter). And during the final chapter you got the ability to do even more evil stuff and even become jack-of-blades yourself. In this you literal get 3 choices, Save the people that have been lost over the years (except your loved ones), save your loved ones (which is only your dog and not you sister too) and the last option money.......... Then you got the minigames that almost fell obligatory cause if you don't you will lack any funds for stuff. Especially if you want the canon true ending you get for buying the castle (consider your child is the hero of the 3rd game) and requires either choosing the money ending (gives you the money for the castle), lots and lots of hours on the minigames or use the rent cheat by setting your time stupidly far in the future and collect the rent. And lastly we got Fable 3: The landlord simulator....... This game was just plain stupid at the end. You spend all this time trying to do the good thing and playing the game as you normally would. Just to find out at end of the game you need a shitload of money and you have literal just emptied the coffers to keep your promises and if you are lucky maybe have up to a million gold in total. At this point you find out to even get a decent ending you would end up spending a huge amount of time playing landlord and minigames to gather the many millions gold you need for the good ending. And since they made a limit on the rent in this game means the trick from the 2nd game isn't doable. All of this resultet in me spending a good chunk of time at the end of the game just farming gold and after I got around 50% of what I needed I just said fuck it and completed the game. I then tried to do a second run as evil with landlord playing from the start. And it just killed the game. Ended up spending more time keeping track of my gold to see when I had enough to buy another house and check in on the rent all the time to make sure I didn't hit the rent cap and wasted time. Just so I could make sure I got the money to save everyone (never got to that point as the joy of the game was gone 3-4 hours into the game and I had only just left the nomad camp).
