[@Archon762]

[@lilsydney]

fable may suck in a lot of ways, but it’s usually really good about linking the games together and I always appreciated the small story bits that make the overall story more in depth :)

[@Longshanks1690]

My favourite part about Knothole Island remains that you get the option to resurrect your dog if you sacrifice a villager to it, rendering the second wish completely useless on subsequent playthroughs once you realise you can stave off having a family with unique NPCs like Alex or Lady Grey and that you can save your dog too. 😂 And since building wealth isn’t THAT hard, not as easy as the joke of a system that was Fable 3’s economy but still, you can also get to 1 million on your own if you use the system right. So there’s also no reason to choose that option unless you’re a deliberately evil character. Maybe if it was ten million instead of one, there’d be more of a reason to be tempted by it but as it stands, not so much. So the only wish worth choosing is the first one to save everyone who died which, ironically, while intended to be selfless might be the most selfish one of all as you only end up doing it to earn the love of Albion’s people as you have nothing to gain choosing the other wishes with the way the world is set up. 😂

[@curtispower3619]

The second wish is really only cool for a lore bit/teaser that never really and never will be followed up on.

[@Ballbroth]

Even as a full evil dude, I prefer to save the people so I can get the statue of myself in bowerstone old town. Fuck the people, thanks for the statue

[@Aaron-qe9ms]

Well.. The "Family" wish also has the extra cool benefit of resurrecting your sister.. Although you only get a note from her and never actually see her, which is a real shame. Would have been cooler if she came to live with you and your family if you had the space or something. Maybe she could show up in the castle once you purchased it, and you could talk to her and give her a room if you wanted to... That would have been cool..

[@jonisabin4938]

It’s weird that rose doesn’t come back from the first wish. She technically died in the path of the making of the spire. But goodness definitely lost potential with her🤦🏼‍♀️

[@macaryl95]

Lady Grey is already so buggy I don't want to risk anything with her. I don't care about the people at the Spire I will never see. My sister matters more, and that's basically the same considering you never see her either. Plus one million coin is nothing once you own everything. So I always choose love. And screw yourself, Hammer, for judging me.

[@NazAlex]

The Necromancer inside the cursed skull is also voiced by Peter Dickson who is the voice over for X Factor & Britains Got Talent. Always found that insanely comical

Fable 2 predicted the submarine of ‘23.

[@sodmadhaven]

Dear God

[@Kpoole35]

I don’t think carbon fiber existed in fable

[@NormalPersonCommenting]

Submarine: *exists in media* The Internet: BEHOLD THIS TRAGEDY WAS FORETOLD IN THE ANCIENT WORKS

[@whiterabbit2029]

Neat fact about the snow globe, once the dlc is completed you can use the snow globe for "instant" travel. Takes no in-game time to enter the snow globe and no in-game time to fast travel across the map.

[@akitosuzume2749]

There is so much you did not mention about Knothole Island. You can revive your dog, you can get new kinds of dyes and potions, new armor and weapons (one Halo like gun). I think they beat Fable 3 DLC's.

[@123darkelf]

True but if I may be constructive, not a big fan of how easily some weapons trump all other options, like you get hal’s rifle then you get something like that guitar which does almost 100 dmg per swing man. That shit terrifyingly busted and makes me feel like im in fable 1 again.

[@AndrewStonerock]

The snow globe is oakvale btw. You're freeing the souls of those trapped by shadows when Reaver sold the town for eternal youth. Reaver is from oakvale btw. I know our player character is a descendant of the one from the first game, but I don't know about the other heroes in the game. Also, fable 2: game of the year edition came with all the dlc already installed. Hell, I had it on disc and didn't even know it was dlc.

[@Longshanks1690]

That’s a stretch. It’s never stated anywhere that the town is supposed to be Oakvale, and there’s no reason to suppose it is. It looks like Oakvale because the devs were lazy and just reused the assets of the town rather than building a whole new one just for this side quest lol.

[@michaelhodges8590]

@@Longshanks1690It has the same layout of the town circle, well, shadow court and bridge It’s no stretch as it’s clearly supposed to be a pre Court version of Oakvale matching the Shadowmarsh version found in Fable 2 proper

[@Longshanks1690]

@@michaelhodges8590 Yeah, cos they used the same assets, but there’s no hint that this is supposed to be the consequence of Reaver as why place them in a DLC when Reaver’s story is in the main quest? Like most players, I always played this as soon as I arrived in Bowerstone loooong before we even met Reaver, so what would be the point of letting the player release his victims before even meeting Reaver or the shadow court? It doesn’t make any sense. The quest doesn’t even make it ambiguous, they show who is responsible for this - the cultists from the temple of shadows. They’re the ones holding these souls hostage and it’s killing them that releases the people from their torment - and even then, I think that’s more laziness as I don’t think they’re meant to be associated with the Temple, just generic cultists they couldn’t be bothered doing new assets for. And even if we leave all that aside, the Shadow Court doesn’t trap souls, they just kill them. There’s no indication they want to perform the big succ to get their colour, that’s an entirely separate thing to what the cultists are doing. If this was Oakvale, you’d have references to Reaver or the Shadow Court from the villagers to make it clear that’s who they were. But as it is, I don’t think dev laziness and huge amounts of conjecture is enough to presuppose that’s what’s meant to be going on when these were clearly meant to be two separate plot lines with no crossover between them.

[@rhonindemora8793]

​@@Longshanks1690not a stretch at all read the wiki. Snow globe is Oakvale I also remember reading in-game books about it.

[@Longshanks1690]

@@rhonindemora8793 The wikis are fan made and not a reliable source of information. Which books exactly?

[@CalamityCallie]

This is gonna sound so weird but my favorite part of See the Future specifically was all the hidden easter eggs. There's a whole puzzle to solve that's hinted at in a book in the snowglobe and requires exploring both the snowglobe and the skull and while the reward isn't anything special its still just a really cool journey to follow. Also there's like 9 or 10 hidden dyes between the areas, and the hidden teddy bears in the colosseum. Anyway yeah, the quests are mediocre but I'm really nostalgic for the collectibles and easter eggs

[@UnivingIshiro]

I think the best part of the dlc of Fable 2 is not the story but the extras. Changing the mutt to a husky, clothes that change with alignment, the potions to alter you appearance better

[@macaryl95]

Yeah the height potions that are worthless with maxed skill

[@Fyrehart97]

I'm a big fan of both Fable and Halo, so having access to the pre order bonus of Master Cheif's armour and then completing the look with his assault rifle that you can obtain from the Knothole Island shop makes it worth it for me. Plus, unlike the sword, the assault rifle is actually a reasonably powerful weapon. It's also nice that they're fantasy themed too, so they don't just look silly and out of place... Well, not as silly or out of place as it could have if it's not your thing. So yeah, the items within the DLC are the best things about them. So i can in the very least appreciate that they didn't just try to sell us a weapon pack that just spontaniously appears in the world. They added a narrative to you recieving the items. Looking at it like that definately makes me appreciate them more.

[@boogier.t.1207]

That submarine joke nearly killed me😂

[@Formoka]

My favorite part of Knothole Island was just the consumable that let you shrink yourself. There was nothing quite so funny as running around looking half the height of the people I fought.

[@macaryl95]

I've still yet to test it out until I have enough stock of all the potions. I thought the "child" mentioned in the shrink potions' description was an exaggeration. Since I took height potions and they did nothing at all, I guess I was already max height. So I had my doubts a shrinking potion would go beyond bringing you to base height.

[@macaryl95]

I love how the child mentioned in the Spire model is most likely the Hero of Brightwall, which essentially means screw any kids you had in Fable II.

[@tomasestay8375]

Now all that's left is a review for the first fable.

[@Fizhy]

That is going to be the ultimate part - it'll probably come next month.

[@guidedbygreed]

Was that necromancer voiced by the dude from x-factor. Always loved the Englishness of the fable games. On fable 3 one of the ghost twins is voiced by Dave lamb haha

[@sonicANDtailsfan157k]

There's also some Halo themed items you can obtain both from the Knothole island DLC and the collector's edition content also made DLC which are great for doing Master Chief runs.

[@GrassPokeKing]

Man, I can't believe Fable is connected to Halo is connected to Destiny, that's wild

[@macaryl95]

I'm shocked he got the DLC in Fable IIi for that house, but not this one. I finally was able to get it and I think it added a huge quality of life. It felt odd to have Hal's Rifle and not the other items. The $2 for this and the Hall of the Dead was more than worth it.

[@Longshanks1690]

As I said last time, what Fable 2 has over 3 is the unique items in its DLC. I mostly used the weapons and armour from Knothole Island whenever I find them as they’re some of the coolest bits in the game, especially from Jessica’s Shop. The same goes for the Husky potion to make your dog an even gooder boi. It all enhances the base gameplay and makes these packs worth playing. The stories attached? Less so. Murgo’s cursed relic quests especially are a boring chore to slog through, the areas aren’t that well designed - often using the same assets from the base game - the tasks are repetitive and there’s nothing that makes you want to return to those worlds after the quests are done. The same is true of Knothole Island where the quest areas are more unique in their design, but the same feeling of going through a slog to get the weather tokens remains weighing heavily on your mind. You’ll likely never venture outside the town on Knothole Island once you’ve unlocked all four weathers, but the ability to change the weather at will is a very cool idea ngl. Likewise, See The Future is made worth it with the final prophecy from Theresa foreshadowing Fable 3, and giving you the King outfit. So are the DLCs worth it? Overall, I’d say yes, the items and some of the bits of worldbuilding you get from them are worth playing through to get. But is a lot of it still half assed and could have been done much better to make it a better experience overall? Also a thousand times yes.

[@eskimotruffle3327]

@Fizhy the coloured enemies are the same colour as the experience you get for each attack type. Blue for melee, yellow for ranged and red for magic

[@dragonhunter6102]

To defend see the future, its less a teaser (for sure it is)but it also telling us a story that will go on after the game, a glimpse to understand what will be, i like that its showing us a road but also broad enough. Also it gives satisfactory conclusion to the story of our character. P.S. Music in this game is 10/10

[@GribbleGob]

You literally said nothing. there was barely a story between 2 and 3 and neither game does much with the implied story. thats like saying Avengers Endgame was a good movie because of what we didn't see after Infinity War was the road leading to Endgame when all both are is shitty writing to justify boring characters in a poorly designed world.

[@dustrose8101]

There actually is a visible existing indication that you should use Will on the red shadows. The three Heroic attributes (Strength, Skill, and Will) are all associated with a specific color. This color is the color of the individualized EXP for each attribute. Blue EXP for Strength, Yellow EXP for Skill, and Red EXP for Will. There's also the fact that the B button aka your Will button on the Xbox controller is red.

[@evedael]

What i liked about fable 1/2 and their respective dlc was that the legendary weapons were actually legendary and had a unique look to them. The idea of weapons evolving based on how we play sounds cool for fable 3 but when all the legendary weapons are randomized and you can only get a finite number of them in a single playthrough and you can't farm them that sucks the fun out of earning or trying to get legendaries. When you finally do get avo's lamentation or some other cool weapon and it looks identical to your previous weapons with no unique design or effect it pales in comparision to previous titles. Its even worse when you look at how large amounts of weapons in fable 1 and 2 are tied to unique quests or puzzles like red dragon and the shooting range, katana for garths tower or Skorms bow and the temple of shadows. All fable 3 had was the gargoyles and you just got a generic gun from what i remember. Small things like this make games so much more enjoyable and immerse us in the world, it would be like if fallout didn't have unique weapons that had a cool look and effect that was tied to the lore of the weapon. Instead they were replaced with generic weapons that could drop with effects instead or a fromsoft game that didn't have the moonlight greatsword or unique weapons in general.

[@TheMichaellathrop]

My only real criticism is the will powers should have all been red in Oakvale, to match the colouration of strength and skill. It honestly really bothers me, even. Will is red, the shadows are red, make the abilities red oh my god. Oh yeah, and those shadows are huge bullet sponges even when using the correct attacks. The red shadows nearly knocked me out a few times, whereas the rest of the game is easy as piss.

Fable Anniversary will always be my favorite. Fable 2 is second. 3 to me isn't even considered canon, much less, Fable: The Journey. It is a duology of great games. Just like the Hero bloodline of William Black in lore got progressively weaker, so did the games. With that said, however, I am excited about Fable (Playground Games) in 2024 or 2025. I hope it is more akin to Fable Anniversary. Bring back the spells, high fantasy feel, fairytale book aesthetic, tudor houses and businesses, armor, stats, and enemies like the bandits, Hobbes, Balverines, Nymphs, Heroes, and Jack of Blades. Or better, the entire Court itself.
