Customer Reviews

THE ABSOLUTE ACTION cRPG!
If you haven't yet played this game, well, you don't know what you are missing...
FABLE-THE LOST CHAPTERS is a game so full of great ideas that later games could not stop imitating (and isn't imitation the best form of compliment?). After being an X-BOX title for too long, it eventually got released for PCs.

The game is a Third-Person cRPG starting with your character as a little boy made witness to his village burning and his family getting murdered. The orphan then gets schooled in a military academy (one of the most subtle and best designed tutorials EVER!) and graduates to face his first quest. From then on, this beautiful non-linear and multileveled game never lets you without a fresh surprise!

Sure, there is hacking and slashing and sharpshooting to our hearts content; however, this cRPG's ambitions do not expire there. Your character will grow, acquire scars and marks, get haircuts and tattoos - whereas his body shape and height will depend on his habits, training and alignment. You can buy a house, impress the ladies and even get married. There are also a number of mini-games within FABLE, from gambling to fishing and prize-duels.

The graphics are beautiful (a bit dated today yet still much better than most systems can handle). Facial expressions and body movements are fluid and natural, whereas, grass, flowers and tree branches move to the wind and in your path. There is a weather system and night-and-day alterations. In FABLE you will see the best sunrise and the most rich sunset sky colors EVER! When a scenery moves you enough you can even take a...in game picture that can be viewed later (they are saved in a special folder in MY DOCUMENTS). I am telling you, Peter Molyneux left nothing to chance! Whatever could be turned on its head, well, it was...

The gameplay is plain brilliant! The controls are intuitive and the lower-edge-of-the-screen shortcuts could not be more user-friendly. Looting is usual and merchants are abundant. Weapons and armor are well designed (nothing like the childish ones in...NWN) and special unique sets (rarely) available.

I have completed this game at least three times (the last one was this summer) - and I have enjoyed all of them immensely! Now that the price has dropped, it's even a bargain!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Un bon jeux a découvrir
On m'avait conseillé fortement le jeux. Je n'ai pas été dessus, il offre tout se qu'on m'a promis et j'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à choisir entre le bien et le mal!

Visually stunning, incredibly fun RPG

Story: The main character starts off as a child whose family gets killed by bandits and his sister kidnapped. You play the role as a boy who is on a quest to discover who killed your family and along the way you will have many quests that will shape you into a man that you want to be depending on your choice on how to deal with the matter: a valiant hero that everybody loves and praises or a diabolical assassin that everybody hates and fears.

Game play: Main quests are pretty much straightforward while the side quests are open ended. You can choose where to live, who to marry, what to wear, haircuts, tatoos, armory, etc. Weapon choices are amazing and sometimes hilarious (frying pan, go figure!). You can get assistance by paying one of the mercenaries who hang out at almost every inn. There is a lot of fighting and treasure hunting so it may be useful to have a buddy to distract enemies from you to get a breather. Also to mention, diffuculty levels adjust automatically as you progress by presenting you with more challenging enemies.

Characters/World: That's the crappy part. I don't like the animation because it is rigid and characters look like puppets but I soon overlooked it when I discovered how amazingly rich the Fable world in artistic sense. Quite imaginative! I mean there are enemies galore, from annoying bugs and pixies to throlls, werewolves, ghosts, giant scorpios and one big hell-of-a dragon. Each city is more amazing than the other except Bowerstone which is the first city you start in and it is basically a slum. And yes, I can't forget to mention the landscape and the fact that times actually passes there, meaning you have the day/night cycle. I enjoyed long minutes looking at the landscapes and the sunsets.

Objectively speaking, I had no technical issues during my game play, hotkeys were a bit difficult to manipulate at the beginning especially when you want to switch between spells or weapons but you learn how to get around it. I give it still 5 * because the Fable World is so visually rich, so fun to explore and so imaginative that you stop paying attention to minor drawbacks.
