Can You Beat Fable 3 Without Increasing Any Skills?

It's the one where you are royalty, yet ironically, money has the least significance.

Unlocking tutorial spells should be counted to same non-degree as using Shouts in Skyrim runs.

the funny thing is when i see someone do a no magic run and they use shouts. always some people getting into if they count since shouts can be absorbed as if they were magic.

Ah Fable 3. The one where I spent most of my time working a job at the blacksmiths and Keeping my tenants houses repaired because the crackheads living in them can reduce it's quality to shambles over the course of two hours.

[@markrobison5199]

I remember as a kid being *amazed* at how your basic weapons change visually as you level up, and those changes are based on how you've played. Now I know enough about games to understand it was just some preset parts shared with the unique weapons, and which part you got was randomly chosen from a pool based on mundane things like how many times you'd used a spell. Sometimes I miss the magic of being a kid who didn't know how games work behind the screen.

[@Gadzinisko]

On the one hand, I enjoy exploring online wikis of some of my childhood cRPG games to see what things I never discovered. On the other, it indeed sometimes removes the magic.

[@IamaPERSON]

I hope that mechanic comes back in the next game, but instead of randomly choosing one look, if you’ve fulfilled multiple things that can change your weapon, you choose what it can look like.

[@multihacker3695]

You can still enjoy it, ya just have to immerse yourself in the game. It's easier as a kid, but us adults can still do it. We just have to remember that we can't play quite as long.

[@quartzninja]

As far as I'm concerned, while you fail the strict definition of the run, the spirit of the run is more important.

[@crashtiansClips]

Tutorial items/spells in games are "Base kit" They are the basics your character would have if the game started with no tutorial. Tutorials are just Doc Mitchell giving you your items back.

[@multihacker3695]

That isn't a great description, as when the doc gives him the weapons he treats'em the same way. It's comparable to the vigor tester, as you are required to spend your points before moving on

I remember being amazed at this game as a teen and my best friend playing it after me and going ".... really?" I get what he means now but back in the day it was fun, I didn't try to connect plot points nor was I aware of how to poke holes in some areas that would ruin immersion (fireball on the torch). I didn't have a lot of cynicism as a child which might explain my enjoyment.

[@Vickysqueeze]

I loved fable 2 growing up. One of my favorite games and still is. I played fable 3 for the first time last year and it was one if the most disappointing game experiences I have ever had. It's not even bad it's just that 2 was so good.

[@Yeshua_is-Cool]

2 is great I always murder the families and leave the kids in crippling debt by buying there houses and raising rent which in turn lowers prices of weapons and equipment and items and I'll stock up on everything then go to the town over which holds my 5 wives in each corner of the map

[@miceltusav88]

I enjoyed fable 3. Yeah, it was stupid that you could get the good ending (saving everyone) by just throwing money at the problem...also, you didn't fail. You unlocked a skill, you did not upgrade it. By getting fireball you added another skill that you can't level up (via upgrading)

[@bighatbondquo863]

I remember getting the special edition of Fable 3. It was a big book with secret compartments and it came with a pack of fable themed cards, and a seal of fate flip coin. I was so disappointed when I finished the game in a few hours 😂 The time skips when you're preparing for the Darkness were awful, it starts going a day at a time then 7 days then 50 then 100 days have gone and its time for the final battle

[@PureRok]

I also have that book still on my bookshelf. Haven't even opened the cards. It really does feel like only half of a game.

[@theamazingguzzardo]

Same. The coin was cool. Too bad this game was garbage. I hated how the game just devolved into "YOU NEED TO BE RICH TO WIN, HAVE FUN."

[@matejbosela9093]

So, this is "Fable 3 : ˇMurica" run: 1.Explosions (fireball) - check 2. Guns - big check 3. Money making - check 4. More guns - check. I think this is the peak level of gameplay. Thanks, Nerbit!

If the game forces you to spend a Guild Seal (like getting Fireball) then it should be an exception to the rules of the run. Same with the first spell in Fable 2. Also, there are axes in Fable 3 but they're really just hammers with wedge shaped bits for the hurty part.

[@ThreeArm]

As Christmas looms ever closer, I thought I'd re-comment my suggestion from the Jason Vorhees video. Suggestion for a Christmas special! Can you beat [insert game] as Santa Claus? In a game that has player inventory and droppable items (like a Bethesda game), before you complete the game, you must decide who the "nice" characters are, break into their homes (or the nearest approximation of a home) and leave them a thoughtful gift, without getting caught. Optionally, you could also leave coal (or a coal substitute) behind in the homes of "naughty" characters, and/or consume any milk and cookies (or other consumables) that the citizens kindly left out for you, Nerbit Claus. The scope/number of characters you do this to, and the game the challenge takes place in is up to you!

[@lord0jackostar]

[@budinhapalmieri]

Since you mentioned voice actors, I had a bit of an ideia for a new vegas run, to beat it as Liam o'Brien, you can only use weapons/techniques from characters that he has voiced. Also maybe Yuri Lowenthal since he actually voices the male protag in screams. But yeah everytime since I have found out these 2 voice like 75% of new vegas I cannot unhear it and I can only think about the voice of ben 10 and a league of legends character in the Mohave Bonus points if you the kill people that have the voice of the person you are "using" since there can be only one (includes named and unnamed npcs)

I definitely did not have many problems with how this game went. I don't even have the benefit many in the comments do of this being a 'childhood' game. I played this in my 20s. It honestly did just feel like more of the same. Which is fine by me. Sometimes I don't want games to add more and more features if they can find the fun essence of the game and just focus on that. The pairing down of weapon choice didn't really matter to me as all one ever did in previous games was be as good or evil as you could stand to get the best weapons for your slots. Anyways. Appreciate the trip down memory-lane, Nerbit. I'm eagerly awaiting the next Fable as well so I will be curious what you do with it when they finally release it. Whenever that may be.

[@ForgedinPrint]

To me, fable 3 felt like it tried to be too experimental, and the level up system felt more like it was designed more to give you options in combat rather than just straight buffs. Interesting idea to say the least.

A possible holiday themed run could be beating your Bethesda game of choice as Santa. Melee only, as St. Nicholas was known for throwing hands/ whacking people with a staff, and you have to reverse pickpocket a gift to every friendly npc you encounter at least once. The gift would have to be something appropriate though, like candy or a toy. Maybe it could be fun!

[@KylarTyphlosion]

Ah fable 3. A game i only enjoyed for one reason. One of the va's is doing a welsh acent. As a Welshmen that makes me happy

[@JacksawJack]

It's a valid run since the game forces you to use or perform a normally run restricted action. It's like saying you can't Knife-Only OG Resident Evil 2 Scenario B because you have to equip and cutscene Super Tyrant with the Rocket Launcher.

[@templedoombryan3200]

I loved this game growing up and what's funny is I liked most of the things you complained about. I knew as a kid that you could breeze through the promisses and still get the good ending, but I liked that they left the option to work your ass off, Because even though it didn't matter in the end I would always do it because I liked the challenge and I always liked the grind when it comes to video games. And the soundtacks for this game are great as well and are some of my favorite songs in video games. Please don't think this is hate, I love your videos.
