that scene where the hero has his little flashback in his hometown while talking to the woman, is honestly one of my favorite scenes, i love how they integrated the flashback into the present conversation, even now, as clunky as it looks, the transition is solid, and i love it
To this day that ptsd flashback the hero of oakvale has is one of the greatest little cutscenes of all time. That’s how you build a character without a voice
@@SinjinBarrettit just went to shoe how much they cared about the detail. You watched your whole family and village get slaughtered as like a 5 year old boy and it shows that night is still haunting your hero, especially when you finally go back to where it happened
@@jagaloon14 Sure, maybe ijust dont get his point, its just ive found many other cutscenes much better. Like his sister's flashbacks. Or when he meets Jack. I feel like those had a bigger impact than a random girl you got a teddy for.
It was good for when we don’t know he’s the guy who destroyed Oakvale and our family. After that the new voice is good to show Jack isn’t human and has been deceiving us and all other humans.
It's been so long since I've played fable and I was thinking how odd it was that I remembered his voice being so different so I'm so glad you made me realize I wasn't crazy lol. BTW I definitely like the original voice better
@David Cheney OK but just look at Jack. At first Glance, you can tell he's sinister. Even his tone of voice is evil. His first interaction with you is asking to to kill Whisper. This guy is evil without doubt.
The stealth section was never a problem for younger me, because I became rather good at decapitating bandits with arrows. Can't imagine how frustrating it would be to actually sneak past all of em.
used to get me all the time too, very frustrating. but in the anniversary you can just run past them all, get the alarm sounded then kill them and the game wont put you back at the start.
Fable was such a big part of my childhood, I love it. It was pretty much first "new" game on "new" pc for a kid, who only played 2d games from 90s before, like starcraft, homm3 or warcraft 2 and diablo 2. And when I found out not only you can make "evil" choices, but they also affect things? My mind was blown to pieces.
Your channel is killer. I've loved all your retrospectives and the games are ones I've all played and had a special connection too. Honestly it's like my mind is being read and its super cool. Like a just made a new friend talking about my favorite video games. You really do the games you play justice too. There are other channels that do retrospectives, but each one seems like a critic trying their best to find the flaws in an older game. I believe that is the difference and what makes me love these so much. You give the games the benefit of the doubt, even when the game has flaws but you never let that get in the way of the big picture, the concept the game is putting forth. Proud of you son. Seriously.
When I saw a retrospective video pop up in my notifications I said aloud to myself “that better be my favorite son“ and I just had to laugh at the sentence 😆
A side note. Some of the side quests you completed prior to killing Jack the first time were also part of the lost chapters. The game was a little bare before the dlc came to life, but it didn't stop me from completing it hundreds of times before the dlc came to be. The greatest disappointment from the original was getting the sword of aeons and having absolutely no reason to have it. The game was over, everything worth killing was dead. The lost chapters and anniversary truly elevated the original idea. A masterpiece of its time
@@philipdillon83 you laugh. But this isn't a bad estimate. I literally did complete it hundreds of times. During 2 school years my buddy John and I would beat it again every day after school. Pushing the limits of how we could beat it, what was possible. How fast, how strong could we get, what's the most money we could earn? I consider myself a true fan of the original game, but I've only played 2 and 3 a couple of times each. It just isn't the same, although I do really enjoy them
Just wish they didn't nerf the Sword of Aeons so much in The Lost Chapters. Kinda defeats the point of even using it when other weapons do more damage than it does.
@@philipdillon83 yes but in the original game there was no Avo's Tear. The Lost Chapters adds in extra content after you beat Jack the first time. In the original game you can just play afterwards but there's no new quests and the Sword of Aeons does like 550 damage.
I love how you made a point about Jack of blades monsters sounding out of the world/mechanical. I remember thinking the same thing when I played as a kid. Everything else had a place, these didn't.
I love how you actually role-play whilst describing your play through. Role-playing is something I am seemingly never able to do while playing video games, and I wish I was able to. It makes games so much more fun and interactive.
Proud of you son. While I’ve been spoiled in the past by your long videos released as a whole, this is an exciting change and I can’t wait to see the rest of the content.
The stealth section was annoying, but I found a way around it. I hid behind the boulder and used the Slow Time spell when the bandits were far enough away, then I ran towards the gate before the spell wore off.
Love this vid and its format. I like them too but this is a breath of fresh air amongst all the long form critiques. The way you framed it as the heros journey not your own really kept my attention, especially the way you handled the slippery slope of evil. Your writing is truly superb my friend.
This was a genuinely fantastic video. There's not enough classic Fable content out there and I felt like this hit many nails on the head correctly. If you're after more Fable lore, I recommend Skyrionn here on RUclips, he has a large playlist of Fable lore!
Always great to see a new video talking about the Fable series. Good job putting this together, researched pretty well and you showed great clarity when presenting it :)
@@YourFavoriteSon1 If I was your dad, I would have told you to add more stuff about Cut Content. But your video was amazingly researched, none-the-less!
I find it strange that people find anniversary edition to be more pleasing to the eye. looks muddy, sad and weird when compared to a cozy original vision.
I love reviews where they go through the entire story, adding in their own stuff.. I’m playing this right now after 10 years and it’s nice to hear someone else’s perspective on the entire story
Started watching the video 3 days ago, paused it midway, downloaded Fable, got all steam achievements, returned to finish watching the video. Yes, I am easily distractable.
I never actually had problems with the sneaking area... The large stone at the end of the path can be easily hidden behind, you only need to run through and kill the three bandits, then hide behind the rock, wait for them to respawn and start patrolling, and then you just run to the gate...I figured this out when I was 11. You don't even need to sneak.
Yeah, pure Will playthrough is basically Fable Hard Mode 😂 absolutely love the Fable franchise, looks like I'll be binge watching these Edit: Son: "killing the Guild master was hard" GM "your health is LOW, do you have any potions or food?" me: "die old man, now who's health is LOW?"
Yeah I haven’t played majority of the games you review and do retrospectives on (except DMC franchise and Fable) but I’m addicted to watching your videos, son. They’re so so good and I can’t wait to see more in the future!
Fable is my favorite game. I love it so much. And while I've thought about how weird it is that they are okay with you being evil, I just now realized exactly how weird it is. Compare it to Star Wars. Say they train people with the force and you were free to be Sith or Jedi and they wouldn't judge as long as you didn't take down the council... xD
I have watched your legacy of Kain video and an currently working through the fable videos. I was never a fan of the fable games but your work makes them bearable for me. Good work on this one, I liked how you went back through the evil choices
So the stealth mission to the bandit camp, I just use my bow and try to get a clear shot. If your bow is powerful enough and you're accurate enough, you can decapitate each bandit. None of the bandits will alert anyone if they happen to come across a dead body, unlike town guards.
I loved Fable, and though I played the sequels and enjoyed the improvements in those and new mechanics, the first one was always my favorite. Far from a perfect game, and somethings always frustrated me about it, but I really liked the feel of it.
What a great retrospective! This has finally convinced me to play Fable. Your roleplaying in the summary of the story, both good and evil, was amazing! I loved it.
I was definitely thinking about you doing another video I loved the format it brought back to life for me it was one of the first games I sunk hours and hours into. The narration was perfect
I loooooove Fable 1 and 2. I never had a chance to play 3. That being said, they have their problems, but I enjoy them. Thanks for the nostalgia trip, son!
Duuuude, you brought memories of my childhood I had forgotten about the Fable games. 2 was my all time favorite but the 3rd had so much potential but was squandered
I still honestly hope for a newer more adult version of fable. A bit more dark. A slower power progression. Less mob combat more story and flavour choices for good and evil and a more reactive world where being evil will be more socially punished ingame whereas the good will always be limited by morals and will have a harder time dealing with evil.
Tremendous video, I forgot how much Fable really influenced the choices of games I chose to play when I got older. With that being said release the 2nd part now! I can't wait!
I always enjoyed trying a Neutral playthrough after so many Good and Evil playthroughs. Not Hero trying get Admiration and Praise. Nor a Villain, gaining Power and Revenge. Just a Mercenary doing things for Fame and Glory
That’s basically what I do I have no problem opening all demon doors that are good or evil or doing all quests good or bad but when it comes down to making choices between the two I always go down with good. However the one quest you get in oak vale in fable 1 where the gaurd wants you to go kill an assassin and you find out he’s the brother, I actually take the assassins side because he was targeted first out of jealousy so I go back and kill the gaurd taking the extra cash from doing that quest. Morality games are amazing dragon age is a good one but fable is a rare breed where your character and the world around you changed based of your desisions, a great example is fable to where the choice you make as a child effects bowerstone olde town aesthetics for the rest of the game
It's the in depth, quality retrospectives like this, that makes you my favourite son 👍 Great series of games, does have its low points but overall it's good, the first one was one of the games that really got me into RPG's
"Fable brought it to the masses and made people realize that this was a game that could be made" Uhhh Black & White? Extremely popular at its release and being good or evil was the entire gimmick of the game. Made by the same studio as well.
If you stand where the Will training dummies (if they had eyes) line of sight, where they intersect, then hold shift, you can hit all three in a row without needing to adjust in between. Just be careful as you can hit the Guild Master while doing this.
This video convinced me to buy fable anniversary years after I played the original game when I was younger and while it only took 2 days to basically complete everything 100% it was a really fun 2 day nostalgia trip thank you! 😊
After seen that deform child on the very start I do remember why I uninstalled and never gave that game a chance... I did try to give the 3th a try back in the day but game was so CPU intensive that my PC wasn't up to the task.
As a teen i brought a xbox one because i wanted that cancled fable game only to learn it was cancled months after Id played though fable 3 more times then i can remember as a kid, i loved the game
Jesus how long was the hero in the heroes Guild? The little girl who you help find the doll within the prologue looks like an old woman when you go back to Oakvale.
My favorite is fable the lost chapters I didn't have the anniversary edition though. My favorite route was evil route. I felt so amazing and cool once I got the mask at the end. God that shit was so edgy and cool xD
Enflame is the best spell in game. It's DPS is just insanely high, even when compared to other spells, like Infernal Wrath and Divine Fury. This is because I can cast Enflame like 7-10 times in the time it takes to cast Wrath/Fury even once, almost tripling or even quintupling the overall damage. In simple words Enflame/Physical Shield combo is broken OP
You can actually save the trader bitten by a balverine, it just requires pretty much rushing to the camp after agreeing to take him with you. Nice retrospective though, definitely gonna watch the other Fable videos!
i love that the algorithm randomly suggested this video to me, fable is my favourite game series, and I absolutely agree with most of your points, I only really disagreed on your point in fable 2, when you said the choices in fable 2 arent obvious, maybe its because I have been playing the game since launch, but although its not down to the point of this is good this is bad, I still think it was pretty obvious which was the right answers to go for on a good play through, I love this channel and have been watching all your other videos and hope you get the subscribers you deserve
Every time I hear you says "hi dad, it's your favorite son" it makes me think of my boy Scotty who is 16 and wants to be a game designer. Now I have two boys, both awesome, there is no real favoritism. That said, I hope you crush at life man. Kick ass without fear every day and be great. Thank you for the content.
@@YourFavoriteSon1 we are totally marathoning your videos next weekend I have them. Between legacy of kain and dmc, that I'm now starting my 10 year old daughter on they're gonna love it.
@yourfavouriteson Hey dude, your work is appreciated. We like what you are doing. Me and my brother loved your soul reaver review. Would you be so kind as to review Elder Scrolls series from first game to skyrim.
I think the dialogue lines are fine in their spacing. Better than the five second delay between lines in games like the elder scrolls. It feels like a natural talking pace for somewhere that just talks fast. I know that there are places in the US that talk faster than that.
For the stealth part of the Twinblade mission, your guile skill doesn’t matter. The clothing you wear determines how visible you are to the AI. Wearing the Assassin clothing reduces your visibility. By the time you’re at that part of the game, 3/4 of the outfit are available to you through exploration and shopping (gloves, boots and shirt). With those equipped, you’re able to run through the bandits without issue
In regards to the understand on the way to bargate if you used your will to create a barrier on your skin you can generate unlimited XP by not having the hit counter being reset when hit by the undead. If you stay long enough you can get a multiplier of like 150 and use a potion and max out your general experience and give yourself all the skills at maximum level. 53:38
I loved the Fable games!! Jack of Blades's voice is done perfectly. That voice is the voice of evil. Could you imagine a heroic character out of fiction, like Dante in Devil May cry, with that voice?! People would attack him just on his voice alone.
Great video, this game is nostalgic but man does it still hold up for me. The main menu music for fable the lost chapters is still one of the best tracks in a game for me, it's called summer fields for those who want to listen to it
What's your favorite Fable game Dad? ⚔
My nostalgia goggles for the first fable game are set to 20/20
The first of course.
Uh...Ultima 7....because Fable is my son's game.
That's a hard question. There are things I really like about both Fable 1 and 2.
Oddly enough, 3
that scene where the hero has his little flashback in his hometown while talking to the woman, is honestly one of my favorite scenes, i love how they integrated the flashback into the present conversation, even now, as clunky as it looks, the transition is solid, and i love it

I will never forget the constant "Your health is low!" prompt. Lol I remember yelling back 'I know!' as I'm getting my but kicked
"try to get your combat multiplier even higher"
"AAAAAAAAAAGH"
In fable 2 there's book says he was killed with your health is low carved on his head
"Do you have any food? Or potions?"
me: IM WORKIN WITH WHAT I GOT HERE MY GUY!
The skull death scene scared the fuck out of me
Do you have any potions? .. or food?
Does anyone else like Jack's original voice over the one they gave him in anniversary?
It was good for when we don’t know he’s the guy who destroyed Oakvale and our family. After that the new voice is good to show Jack isn’t human and has been deceiving us and all other humans.
It's been so long since I've played fable and I was thinking how odd it was that I remembered his voice being so different so I'm so glad you made me realize I wasn't crazy lol. BTW I definitely like the original voice better
I like it for when he's a human. The new voice works for when he's a dragon.
Yupp, original is the one I like the best. The new one sounds so "mainstream" evil
@David Cheney OK but just look at Jack. At first Glance, you can tell he's sinister. Even his tone of voice is evil. His first interaction with you is asking to to kill Whisper. This guy is evil without doubt.
The stealth section was never a problem for younger me, because I became rather good at decapitating bandits with arrows.
Can't imagine how frustrating it would be to actually sneak past all of em.
Yup! First thing I tried back then. Even that could take a few tries if they see the other guards die or find their bodies.
used to get me all the time too, very frustrating. but in the anniversary you can just run past them all, get the alarm sounded then kill them and the game wont put you back at the start.
I just Runed .
I snuck past them, it was very thrilling for an 8-year old me x3
Sneaking past them is pretty easy now I think about it, but as a kid hearing "Intruder, shut the gates" was like death 😅
Fable was such a big part of my childhood, I love it. It was pretty much first "new" game on "new" pc for a kid, who only played 2d games from 90s before, like starcraft, homm3 or warcraft 2 and diablo 2.

My favorite line in the whole game was “ you just gonna stand there like a lemon “ 😂
You can actually save the trader before he turns into a balverine if you are fast enough at 24:10
I thought he always turns right before the camp
Love this vid and its format. I like them too but this is a breath of fresh air amongst all the long form critiques. The way you framed it as the heros journey not your own really kept my attention, especially the way you handled the slippery slope of evil.
Your writing is truly superb my friend.
Son, you definitely deserve more daddies.
We'll get em dad.
During the sneaking part of the bandit quest, you can just shoot the heads off the guards to pass. as long as they dont see you it works.
28:35 I just headshotted the bandits with the bow i got from the chickin kicking contest house
This game has a special place in my heart. I still have my copy from the jump. I was at a balance between good & evil
This was a genuinely fantastic video. There's not enough classic Fable content out there and I felt like this hit many nails on the head correctly. If you're after more Fable lore, I recommend Skyrionn here on RUclips, he has a large playlist of Fable lore!

I maxed out all the stats in this game it is possible. Easy explanation is combat multipliers the legendary bow and undead zones.
Will you do a retrospective on Jade Empire? It's one underrated gem of a game.
Your retrospectives have been keeping my mind occupied while going through a very hard breakup. Thank you.
My favorite part of Fable was always the age progression when you start game at like 10 years old and end the game at 70 years old
Fable 1 is the best fable in my opinion and your video did it justice! I subscribed!
Fable 1 had the best magic. It’s crazy how backwards they started going after
I was definitely thinking about you doing another video I loved the format it brought back to life for me it was one of the first games I sunk hours and hours into. The narration was perfect

Duuuude, you brought memories of my childhood I had forgotten about the Fable games. 2 was my all time favorite but the 3rd had so much potential but was squandered
Fable taught me that if you're evil and rude, you'll go bald. So be good people
Fable HITSposting gang check in!
Thankyou so much for keeping these games alive!!!
Just found your channel and this video. Absolutely love the narration you do along with the game analysis. Cheers mate!
My favourite son covering my favourite video game. This is something else, good shit dude, keep it up!
I've literally watched this video about 8 times, I can't wait for your fable 2 video!
If I had heard your evil playthrough without context I'd be mortified. This was an amazing video and I can't wait to watch the other two. Bravo.
Absolutely love this long format man, high quality content. Subbed right away
Thanks Dad!
I still honestly hope for a newer more adult version of fable. A bit more dark. A slower power progression. Less mob combat more story and flavour choices for good and evil and a more reactive world where being evil will be more socially punished ingame whereas the good will always be limited by morals and will have a harder time dealing with evil.
Tremendous video, I forgot how much Fable really influenced the choices of games I chose to play when I got older. With that being said release the 2nd part now! I can't wait!

Morality games are amazing dragon age is a good one but fable is a rare breed where your character and the world around you changed based of your desisions, a great example is fable to where the choice you make as a child effects bowerstone olde town aesthetics for the rest of the game
You can do that?
It’s been years since I even thought about this series. I only played the first two so I’m pumped for this.

When I was 6 yrs old, my cousin recommended me to augment an ebony bow & aim for the heads of bandits instead of sneaking by.
To think Fable was supposed to be BIGGER than what it is, is crazy. This game really got me hooked and this analysis was great. Well done !
The soundtrack is so memorable
Hoooly shit, you really ARE my favorite son! Hyped to watch it this evening

Subbed at 12.5k, remember us when you hit 2mil
Will do Dad!
Thanks, son. You're making these quick. I'm so proud
I can't believe i watched the whole thing, that is a first for me. I absolutely loved this retrospective video.
As a teen i brought a xbox one because i wanted that cancled fable game only to learn it was cancled months after
Id played though fable 3 more times then i can remember as a kid, i loved the game
Your narration is impeccable son. Amazing work! Your the Morgan Freeman of white guys 👍
Best compliment I could've gotten
Jesus how long was the hero in the heroes Guild? The little girl who you help find the doll within the prologue looks like an old woman when you go back to Oakvale.
Nice! Another video, you're doing a great job son proud of you
Nice video son, very excited for the 25 hour long retrospective of every assassins creed game!
My favorite is fable the lost chapters I didn't have the anniversary edition though. My favorite route was evil route. I felt so amazing and cool once I got the mask at the end. God that shit was so edgy and cool xD
Enflame is the best spell in game. It's DPS is just insanely high, even when compared to other spells, like Infernal Wrath and Divine Fury. This is because I can cast Enflame like 7-10 times in the time it takes to cast Wrath/Fury even once, almost tripling or even quintupling the overall damage. In simple words Enflame/Physical Shield combo is broken OP
Two main playthroughs??!? I very much appreciate the dedication you put into these videos Son.
Ever try a neutral run? Shits difficult lol
Holy shit. This is an amazing review/retrospective! Fantastic. I hope you keep making videos. Will be watching more :)
I love Fable. Still play them from time to time. I was excited to see this on my feed.
You can actually save the trader bitten by a balverine, it just requires pretty much rushing to the camp after agreeing to take him with you. Nice retrospective though, definitely gonna watch the other Fable videos!
i love that the algorithm randomly suggested this video to me, fable is my favourite game series, and I absolutely agree with most of your points, I only really disagreed on your point in fable 2, when you said the choices in fable 2 arent obvious, maybe its because I have been playing the game since launch, but although its not down to the point of this is good this is bad, I still think it was pretty obvious which was the right answers to go for on a good play through, I love this channel and have been watching all your other videos and hope you get the subscribers you deserve
Every time I hear you says "hi dad, it's your favorite son" it makes me think of my boy Scotty who is 16 and wants to be a game designer.
Now I have two boys, both awesome, there is no real favoritism.
That said, I hope you crush at life man.
Kick ass without fear every day and be great.
Thank you for the content.
This was genuinely inspirational....dad.
@@YourFavoriteSon1 we are totally marathoning your videos next weekend I have them.
Between legacy of kain and dmc, that I'm now starting my 10 year old daughter on they're gonna love it.
@@YourFavoriteSon1 be great and fearless always.... son
@yourfavouriteson Hey dude, your work is appreciated. We like what you are doing. Me and my brother loved your soul reaver review. Would you be so kind as to review Elder Scrolls series from first game to skyrim.
It's on the list dad
Now this is an epic video. Thank you for making it possible to relive this masterpiece again! :)
Easily my favorite essay youtuber, im proud of you son
thanks dad!
I think the dialogue lines are fine in their spacing. Better than the five second delay between lines in games like the elder scrolls. It feels like a natural talking pace for somewhere that just talks fast. I know that there are places in the US that talk faster than that.
Woaw already a new vid? Amazing. Thanks son.
For the stealth part of the Twinblade mission, your guile skill doesn’t matter. The clothing you wear determines how visible you are to the AI. Wearing the Assassin clothing reduces your visibility. By the time you’re at that part of the game, 3/4 of the outfit are available to you through exploration and shopping (gloves, boots and shirt). With those equipped, you’re able to run through the bandits without issue
Or you just headshot with a bow and walk on through
@@nateflatt7418this is my go to method. Just makes it easy.
Interestingly fable 3 was first recommended! Nontheless love ur vids!
In regards to the understand on the way to bargate if you used your will to create a barrier on your skin you can generate unlimited XP by not having the hit counter being reset when hit by the undead.
If you stay long enough you can get a multiplier of like 150 and use a potion and max out your general experience and give yourself all the skills at maximum level. 53:38
I loved the Fable games!! Jack of Blades's voice is done perfectly. That voice is the voice of evil. Could you imagine a heroic character out of fiction, like Dante in Devil May cry, with that voice?! People would attack him just on his voice alone.
But, why does Theresa sound like she's about to become a deathbed companion that gives the best hugs?
Great video, this game is nostalgic but man does it still hold up for me. The main menu music for fable the lost chapters is still one of the best tracks in a game for me, it's called summer fields for those who want to listen to it
