If you enjoyed this, you might be interested in my newest Fable project. I wanted to compile all my ideas for Fable IV into one video in which I try my best to apply them properly to an actual game. Think of it as a game design document in video form for Fable 4. I worked really hard on it and I'm certain if this video was your cup of tea, this next one will be too! Think of it as the sequel, cheers guys kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKOUgZhnm6qanck

[@snarf1851]

​@@nomo2746 All the fable games are technically " On Rails" or "linear" and i would disagree that fable 2 is more streamlined than TLC in fact objectively it is the opposite. Fable 2 just has more content overall, better writing, more gameplay mechanics outside of combat, and a more explorable environment. TLC had a problem with blatantly overpowered or weak/useless abilities, trivial gameplay, an overly linear environment, and very basic non combat gameplay mechanics all of which they refined and expanded on in fable 2. I love TLC one of my most nostalgic games and i still play it to this day but fable 2 is overall a much better game.

The ending of Fable 3 is supposed to hit you in the gut. A young man/woman chasing to take down someone who they think is evil without knowing all the facts. You (the character) rush yourself into this situation, by storming head on, by not thinking, by assuming you know everything. It shows the grey areas of politics, not every choice is black and white, not every choice is either evil or good. You've dug yourself a hole by being an idiot, so to get out of it you're going to have to work extremely hard.

[@momokosum]

So weird people complain about that.. It's exaclty why, in my opinion, it was a really great ending! It's change from the classic/previsible " you are the good guy who beat the bad one in a final battle and all's well that ends well".

[@TulilaSalome]

it would have been great if it had not been f/d up. 1. if you fail to gather enough money, there are no consequences. 2. If you do the sensible thing, be nice, but gather as much personal property as you to then donate to the treasury, the game does not allow you to do that - it just plops the darkness on you, when it has first been told that you know beforehand how long you have to prepare. See Angry Joe for what else sucked, I pretty much agree with him.

[@JohnDoe-on1bd]

Of course, but I think what most people, including myself, complain about is the execution and presentation of it

[@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289]

I LOVED the storyline of Fable 3. The first two games bored the hell out of me, quite honestly. But I hated collecting those damn books and flowers. Also, the garden gnomes?? I hated that whole quest, and there were way too many to shoot. Other than that, I adored the game and I still play it occasionally.

It wasn’t supposed to be a final boss battle with a giant health pool. It was more of a narrative ending.

[@Jorendo]

I think people didn't get the point of Fable 3's saint ending. I could be dead wrong, but i think what they wanted to show is, that your brother, although a tirant, might have tried to do his best for the people, and only once you take his seat you find out the burden he been carrying and why he made certain choices. That the saint ending is a grind and hard to do, probably been done on purprose to make it able to end as a Saint, but it making it hard for you personally as you have to sacrifice your own belongings, and if you don't have that, you are stuck with agreeing on things you don't like but otherwise everyone is doomed. Just my thoughts tho.

[@meganward3072]

agree totally!

[@Ben_of_Milam_Music]

I'm certain that the "good" ending wasn't actually meant to be a grind. The economy system just sort of broke that particular part of the game. You were meant to either go broke and kill everyone by being naively kind, or to genuinely protect your citizens but end up as a tyrant. You could either make the tough choices to tyrannize your citizens (but keep them alive in the end), or to pamper them as a supposedly benevolent monarch... only to to have all of them die from the inevitable invasion. The one thing that really stuck with me from Fable 3 was the feeling of absolute emptiness after you failed the final mission (made all the "good" choices, but you were bankrupt and everyone died). I fast traveled to every single city, looked inside of every single shop and every single house, and there was absolutely no one. They were all dead. 13 year old me really couldn't handle it, but it made a lasting impact on me about what doing what's right actually means.

[@whatfruit7965]

No we get it it just sucked. You could win by just playing with the date and clock settings on your 360.

[@abigailpatridge2948]

No. Actually I fully understood the point they were trying to make. And it really is what Benjamin was saying. It was supposed to be impossible to do, and meant to be a preachy bit of pro-capitalist propaganda. Make you believe that tyrannically predatory capitalism is "for your greater good" and that the only realistic alternative is well-meaning but ultimately bad for everyone. So when the exploit was found I used it. Without a lick of concern about "cheating" to a get a true good ending. A more realistic take would have allowed you to seize things from trouble making capitalists, tell everyone about the threat, construct a planned economy around dealing with the threat while including the people you were trying to save in the decision making, and win. Harder? Yes. Grind? No. You could be evil and save everyone the capitalist way, be altruistic but stupid and kill everyone, or be communist. That would have been MUCH improved over what we had.

Gramo Chopin life is strange isn't haunting, and I want referring to fable being scary but it's got a real haunting sense of what could have been

[@GramoChopin]

SirWinnigton I get what your saying but I thought the first Fable was really good at the time. Still holds up a bit today. Slowly went downhill tho. If they were to reboot it they would have to add WAY more content and ideas to it but the creator is too egotistical to be open minded. Life is strange does get a little haunting when one of the characters commit suicide. I haven't finished it yet but im sure there's more to it. With the main character having the ability of time control that makes things a bit strange. You did say haunting or strange so i think that fits. Have u played any of the other games i mentioned before ?

The main problem I have with the Fable franchise was it was dumbed down with each new instalment; less choices, easier combat, removal of bosses, removal of the threat of death. Fables (and the lost chapters) is still the best of the series despite most games improve with sequels. It's pretty uncommon (perhaps even rare) for a game series to get worse with each release.

[@medes5597]

Fable 2, in my opinion, managed something I've never seen in another game although it's often attempted; it had an incredibly simple combat system that actually had a lot of depth for players who spent time with it. I've seen first timers get the hang of it instantly and do well with the combat - but you watch someone who has played an awful lot of fable 2 and you see them play a wholely different form of combat, smooth and swift with different levels of power and defence, etc. I have no idea why they ditched it and simplified it to the point it was literally lacking in any depth in fable 3. It's beyond me because other games copied the fable 2 combat system because it was so good. Its bizarre. Generally I do agree with you, the pattern of simplifying with each release got annoying.

Having found your channel and this video from your recent one in regards to Fable IV, i must say this was really well done ! This was extremely well paced, thoroughly researched and very nicely scripted. Quite frankly your retrospective of the series made me want to reinstall them and play them again, keep up the great work, this was a joy to watch !

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

Personally I loved Fable TLC, and Fable 2...this was a brilliant re-cap of the series, and very well put together. I tried a bit of Fable III, but I just couldn't get into it. It felt like too much of a step back, making worse what Fable II Simplified from Fable TLC, only this time way way way too stripped back, unlike how smooth it made Fable II. However I may have to give it another go.

[@nautdead3197]

Budget-Builds Official yeah not to mention doing things like making certain thing that shouldn't be dlc. Seriously black dye dlc

[@alphapolimeris]

Fable III is a fine game. Enjoyable. But it's not as good as I and II. Even Fable II, which is objectively (slightly) better than Fable I, did not have the impact Fable I had. Try to to keep your mind free from expectations and you will enjoy it.

[@KyrstOak]

alphapolimeris - Fable 2 isn't objectively better, though. It was ok, but it wasn't good.

[@michealallen9516]

The first Fable is still to this day my favorite Fable game I only came about the talk of Fable 4 whilst looking for another copy of the first one.

[@randyortonsbulge]

Kyrst O'Keefe lol go back amd play it again.

[@tigga2300]

Albion was such a great setting. Fable 1 was amazing, Fable 2 was great (but could have switched out Lucien with the Crawler), and Fable 3 was just disappointing, but I did like some of the characters such as Walter, the Crawler, and Sabine.

[@supersmashbro596]

the only thing i hate about walter is how in aurora he catches the idiot ball. yes walter, chant that ominus-sounding mantra to that barrier. jump into that hole. fable always has its tedious moments (at least in 1 and 3 i noticed them) in 1 it was that prison segment and in 3 it was when the story introduces the crawler and proceeds to make walter look very, very stupid for plots sake.

[@KishmanSuperfan]

Loved the vid! Great work 👌🏽

great vid dude. good work!

[@jasnotta519]

I love these kind of videos, it was well edited and enjoyable, good job James!

[@vegurion2]

Well the first fable was nothing like the game they promised, not even 1% close. But I guess I'm thankful that they failed? Since what they produced is one of my favourite games of all time.

[@TheNamesDitto]

I could care less if it wasn't what I was promised as long as it was a great game to play.

[@michailk.6550]

In general I will agree, although if you promise me a fable and then you deliver me an open world game because its hot this days I will say no. Its a matter of taste. If I had preorder it or backed it i would ask for refund. It can be a great game, the best game ever, the greatest open world, but its all the same to me because I don't like open worlds

[@alexcrowder1673]

Michael Kolitras Fable was never really 100% open world to begin with. Its pretty much just set paths with a few open areas, but not actually open world like skyrim. For its time period I thought it was great though. i still play it all the time.

[@michailk.6550]

Well yes... that was my point exactly.

[@godofyouall489]

@@michailk.6550 I can almost guarantee a new cable will be open world. I don't see it being successful without it ro be honest.

[@seanbovet7212]

I'm truly happy this video popped up on my feed. I'm seeing this 8 months after this clips release and just checked, and there is defiantly a fable 4 in the works. Also, this video was very well put together and i really enjoyed watching. Thank you very much LazerzZ

[@Bradchacha]

As I start this video, let me say, that I absolutely love the game that is Fable II. Everytime I hear "And so our story begins.." Or anything said by the townfolk...or going to the blacksmith or of course the Balverines which scared the life out of me...countless chills overcome my spine. I'd like to return to Oakfield and re-listen to that beautiful music as the sun sets...Fable's soundtrack is the only soundtrack I consider an equal to Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3. And basically if you ask me, it was a great time to be alive. There wasn't even that much disease considering we never did wash!

[@scrillrock]

Wow, dude, great​ video! As a guy who has only heard of Fable, you really got me engaged in it. I genuinely felt bad for Lionhead when you got to their decline. I can see why it took you so much. Keep up the good work man, I would love more of those when you feel like making one! BUT WHERE'S MY ASSASSIN'S CREED??!!?

[@emilkatborg5067]

Well worth the wait. A fucking awesome video. I never knew much about Fable now I do and I am very excited about a possible Fable 4. Keep up the great work!

[@LazerzZ]

Thank you very much!!!

[@jonyb4]

very good effort mate, enjoyed it, and youve now single handedly made me wanna do a play through now!

[@lollyblizowo4343]

God damn dude. 2 minutes in and this looks like the behind the scenes for lotr extended edition. Well Done. Amazing quality. Look forward to seeing what you have to say!

[@jerryfrancis78]

Personally....i played the original Fable. on xbox first and felt that, with every sequel....the series got more.....inadequate. The humor was there but....2 was so limited and 3 was...a disaster. hopefully fable 4 will see a return to the true spirit of the game, and maybe even let us see Scythe as he was at the height of his power

[@jerryfrancis78]

kttsflips I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers that amazing game. nearly all Fable footage in these types of videos are purely from 2 and 3. as Logan said "I'm giving you power over life and Death". show everyone the hero who killed Jack, one who could easily be seen as the Avatar of Death itself

[@pussayxxxslayer3297]

I personally love fable 2 it just feels like it's so full of personality I can admit the combat does lack but it's definitely one of my favorite rpgs and the co-op was kinda weird but I still loved playing it

[@pussayxxxslayer3297]

And fable 3 is just disappointing I fully agree with that the sanctuary was so stupid I'm surprised it made it past play testing

[@mememonger6502]

They say that the reason they got so much worse is because the ridiculously large time gaps.

[@OSYofRR]

Fable is owned by Microsoft now and I think they blame Molyneaux for Fable 3 lack of success so he won't be doing a 4 and if a 4 is made it will be very AAA and not what we want like in Fable 1 or 2.

[@chosenone8408]

I enjoyed all 3 games equally but what truly caught my attention and stood apart for me was how Fable 3 allowed me to be King. There was something wonderful about allowing me to take control, be the boss, and make all the decisions! This concept was a highly motivating aspect to why I enjoyed the game as much as I did.

[@D_Thang]

Yet when you become "King" you had to do all sorts of stupid quests. Couldn't get things for free from the stores. I want a game where I am a King but can do more and get more.

[@BobblesFlopolopogus]

@@D_Thang So you want to be a dictator free of obligation and not a King?

[@musicmancp]

I love this series. I use its name as part of my gamertag. Also, I was really impressed with the production value of this video. You voiced my sentiments as a fan accurately, and I hope you keep up the good work.

[@Jimmy1timee]

you are absolutely hilarious and so witty i love it

[@marcpasquale5784]

Here is hoping that Fable 2 and 3 get a PC release.

[@gentlesirpancakebottoms6692]

Fable 3 got a PC release but it was Microsoft store drm and I dont think that exists anymore så the game is tehcincly dead on PC but it was a bad PC port anyway and is better on xbox360. It annoys me that Fable TLC got a remaster when it didn't need any. the graphics was still good and had its charm and it supported 1920x1080 res. Fable 2 and 3 should have gotten a release/re-release for PC instead:(

[@thecookiesandcreams]

Fable 3 is on steam so like yea.

Wow ! What a video !! I wanna go play some Fable 2 now

[@21awesome]

This was beutifully edited well done! P.s Fable 2 was my first one when I was around 5 years old (I beat it multiple times) and once I played 3 I definitely noticed how streamlined it was but I always thought it was for the better in order to appeal to a larger audience so they can make more games and the story of 3 was definitely the most gripping, while 2 had an extremely complex and sad story. P.p.s I hate how in 3 they got rid of so many weapons like what!

[@Hell_Jumper]

Great info, amazing voice, straightforward and to the point. Great video you sir have got another subscriber.

[@snake-eyes211]

Great video bro 👍🏻

[@dakotafrazier9495]

they should make fable 4 a prequel to the other games about william Black, the founder of will and the first archon. The game would have 3 bosses, the knight of blades, jack of blades (best fable villian return), and the final Queen of blades and the final battle would shape the world much as it is stated in the tales of albion. it would be an open world, fantasy rpg. for side quests you would free villages from the influence of the court, discover ancient tomes about the void and the things in it, which includes the history of the court, the forging and discovery of the sword of aeons. as well as the building of "the old kingdom" after the main quest is concluded and would include the building of the heros guild and the spire, as well as many other old kingdom structures.

[@unkykun]

Oh no please don't do that future-Fable-Maker. Am I the only one who doesn't like the bullshit-lore they decided to throw out of nowhere after the game realesed? More seriously I really hope they don't do that because I really find it exciting to play in another story. I mean, the spire were related to Archon and the first Fable talked about the Archon too but the plots were really different ; Jack of blades was awesome but so does the Spire. Hope they bringing new things ! I hope they make a prison arc and a arena arc though.

[@dakotafrazier9495]

it was simply my opinion of what i wanted to see in a new fable game. i want to see something at least providing more lore and worldbuilding than the games have previously done. it would help the player create an attachment to the world and its people. and it would help to create a more critically successful game as well as commercially. An open world is kind of mandatory in this day and age and it should be far better than the games have done in the past especially with the new console hardware and ever evolving computer technologies it will be cheaper and easier than ever to do so. As for the character we play as we should have far more choice when it comes to weapons and spells (the first game had a massive selection of spell and fable 2 had the most weapon variation) as well as different approaches to each quest and the choices should have more of an impact on the world. the character needs to have more backstory and something to actually motivate the player to explore the world and take on quests. all of this is what fable shouldve been and i know it seems like really high expectations but compared with some other games to be recently released such as God of War, Dragon Age Inquisition, and the series that fable could learn the most from (when it comes to choice and a great open world) The Fallout Series it falls extremely short. even when comparing Fable 3 (2010) and Fallout 3 (2008) fable 3 came out a whole 2 years after fallout 3 and yet still had many more loading screens, was extremely linear, barely had any choices. it is simply the result of a bad developement oversight by microsoft.

[@unkykun]

Yeah I was joking, I rereaded myself and it seems to be rude, didn't meant that. Yes I agree with you on those point, I'm just a bit skeptic about openworld, they are often deceiving..

[@BlueBD]

Is it not already openworld? at least partially It's not totally open world But your not Walking down endless Corridors on a set path. Although At current tech Open-world Would likely be the best option. Just cut it down so its A set of smaller Maps say 3-4s/km with Pathways and such connecting them together.

[@unkykun]

Blue★ The first one was really corridorish, se second and the third were more open but the light ruined a bit the exploration and more than that it was quite empty (except for some areas) and more than that it was mostly some ways to go through, you can't just pick a direction and go, if I remember correctly there were many wall (mountains etc) that blocked you of not following the path. The roads were just confusing to make the illusion of freedom. The kingdom of Amalur had a map system like you said, the aggregation of many average maps where you can freely move ; it was good, I loved it
