I'm looking forward to it like a little kid. It looks cool so far, even if I want to see gameplay first. More true to the core of the originals than the new Dragon Age trailer xD
Eeeh, I'm kinda jaded on that. At first I was extremely hyped... But looking at what's been happening... Not so much. I'd probably be more interested if some "AA studio" tried their hand at a spiritual successor
Isn't it a cannon bit of history that the hero of Fable 1 eventually killed the Guild Master after carving that into his forehead? Or am I mistaking what I want so badly to be true for what was written?
In his Forehead? Jesus!😅 I was thinking a Random Hero who might knew him write it because he Hated he say that all the time😂 I will have to read the books of Fable 2 Again(It was not there) looks like that comment Appears in the Loading Screen Quotes "Shortly After Jack of Blades was Felled by the hero. It was Rumored that the Guild Master was also killed by the very same Hero & and was found with the words 'Your Health is Low' carved onto his forehead" Still the game has some stuff that does not make sense, It says that he wielded Sword of Aeons and defeated Jack of Blades twice, But Teresa still alive😊 I guess my explanation would be that it was just that a lot of time passed and people of albion changes stories(Or they Make a Glitch in a Game part of the Lore were he could get the sword and later restart the fight and you could fight Jack with the sword and save Teresa)
It's a shame too because they could have easily removed games for Windows live like they did with fallout 3. Good thing there are mods for the people who own it on steam to be able to actually play the game.
Most rpg games now a days aren't even rpgs. They're just shooters with a leveling system and maybe a character creation. But besides that there is very little "role playing" in any of them. Like you said every rpg game should have the option for having a family, buying properties or just working normal jobs is also nice.
@@Boulderpuncher98bro what are you talking about? Most RPG’s nowadays aren’t like that whatsoever. Persona 3 reload, FF7 rebirth, Metaphor Refantazio, Nier Automata, Replicant, Baldurs gate 3 etc, are all recent rpgs they are nothing like how you said. Barely anything is like you said actually unless you only play Bethesda RPG’s.
@@Yungplague539 In none of those games you can do traditional rpg stuff, and half of them that you listed are jrpgs which are pretty different. When I say shooter I don't mean only guns, I mean in most of them you go in with some sort of weapons, kill enemies, and level up.
@@Boulderpuncher98 you can do traditional RPG things in each game I mentioned. You also mentioned shooters than proceeded to describe something completely different from shooters. Like really man you just counted weapons and enemy’s. What do you just want to walk around all game and do nothing. Not sure why you pointed out that I mentioned a lot of JRPG’s either. They are RPG’s aswell they are just Japanese. Thats literally it.
@@Yungplague539 Jrpgs are pretty different from western rpgs, most of them are just collecting companions and going to fight god or whatever. I don't know why you care so much, if you like rpgs that aren't really rpgs that's fine. All I'm saying is I wish more rpgs had the stuff Fable had, most of them are just open world clones with side missions and skill points, but they lack actual role playing stuff. Crappy sex scenes don't count as a good romance or starting a family.
The statless armor pieces in the second game were actually a feature that Peter Molyneux proudly spoke about. He wanted the player to focus on what they wanted their own Hero to look like, rather than wearing pieces only for the stats. Personally, I think this was a much better idea. I don't like it when games force me to wear a piece of armor that I don't like the look of.
World of Warcraft has a great system called transmogrification where if you like how one piece of armor looks but another has the stats you need, you can pay a small fee to cosmetically alter the better stat piece to look like the other, or Vice versa if you’d want to do that for some reason. I think all games with a gear system should have this feature
Then you get the challenge and satisfaction of hunting down and acquiring the most powerful equipment, but if you’re not a fan of the appearance you can just change it to what you like
@@ryanbrayton8441 my only argument to this would be, when you play fable 1 you hardly have to go out of your way to find good armor. It just gives the player another way to build their character and immerse themselves into Albion. Taking options away from the player that weren’t problematic in the first place should just be a no no in general
Fable 2 was seriously a life changer for me regarding the Xbox live feature. It was really cool being able to run past other player's orbs and then connecting right away. Great times.
In Fable 1 you also have specific experience for each skill, yellow for range attack, red for mele attack and blue for magic attacks, this experience is used to distribute the skill points in the hero guild, once this specific experience runs out General experience (green) is used for points.
We're going to have a field day when it finally comes out! I really hope it's good. I'm also really curious about the morality and the morphing system. The game looks pretty realistic, so I' don't know what to expect when it comes to stuff like growing horns and having haloes.
Congratulations on almost making on 100k viewers...I know fully well about "age" in game...I am 38(gonna turn 39 in September) and I have the tendency to always create myself on RPG games so yeah imagine an adventurer "starting" out level 1 with 38 lmao 😂....also you are ageing well soon you will reach zangief level( i exercise at home but don't have any gym equipment so I rely on improvising). I always thought about getting an xbox series x to play older 360 games...one of the reasons is the fable series...I love western RPGs and the full series is there....but don't have enough money for an xbox series X for the exclusives or a gamer pc to play the RPG classics(only got a ps5 for now). I truly hope you reach 100k...you remind me of myself when I was an PC player(that's why I subscribed) you go for the truly obscure RPGs and I used to do that myself...even already played some of the game you listed.... unfortunately I have been battling with depression from some years and my love for playing obscure games faded away...I am having difficulty immersing myself even on recent RPGs and scarcely playing them... ironically its the genre I love the most(or used to). I watch your videos because you remind me what I used to be and maybe I can overcome this disease someday and light up the obscure RPG love I had one day(and maybe have the money for an xbox series X and another gamer PC for the exclusives on GOG).
Fable 2 is hands down my favorite game. Fable 1 was of course, perfection in a lot of ways, but Fable 2 really improved on the combat. I was a sharpshooter and fights were fun as hell. I really wish I could play it again.
You can use Xbox game streaming service to play fable 2 on a PC. You need a controller and there is a little bit of input delay but its great other than that.
Fable 3s room/pause thing was actually really cool to me back in the day. Felt like it was a good way to explain having pockets deep enough to fit other weapons in
I played through the entirety of fable 1 well over 100 times when i was a kid. To this day, it probably still remains my most played game. Haven't touched in, probably 11 years or so. This video was a good refresher. PS: fable the lost chapters was the game disk that was in my original xbox when the disk tray broke and never opened again, thus starting my brother and I's non stop fable journey. Growing up poor didn't help as we never got it fixed and didn't get an xbox 360 for a while after it came out lol
The combat multiplier has a secret feature. For every 1 it goes up, if you drink a potion of will, skill or might, you get 100 exp in that discipline. So if you get the multiplier to 100 and drink one, you’ll get 10k exp! You can easily max out your character this way and do it early too by going to the Hobb cave.
I haven't seen it mentioned that the first part of the Fable 3 game with questing and stuff is just half of the game. The main villain is just mid game revelation
Recently got Fable: Anniversary on Steam been loving it, I played the original when I was younger but never finished it, so I’m making sure to finish it this time.
Ok so I’ve just finished Fable Anniversary and I really enjoyed it, it’s definitely the best in the Fable series and I will definitely be playing more of it.
fable the lost chapters is literally my childhood, i remember playing it on my uncles old pc and that i was confused as hell when i got to the point when your father gets killed because i thought it's going to be a kids game
I love all Fable games, all for different reasons :) I played the first game on the original XboX (goddamn, I'm that old...) and I always get nostalgic when I see videos about the game. Every now and then I start it up again myself, just to be enchanted by the world again. I bought an XboX Series S back then, simply because it was the only "next-gen" console that was available here in Germany at the time. That was when I was able to play Fable 2 for the first time and I immediately fell in love :D The visit to Oakvale that you mentioned really shocked me. Seeing this pretty town as nothing but ruins really broke my heart. The hub system in Fable 3 reminded me a bit of Terranigma on the SNES, where you also had to unnecessarily maneuver through the individual rooms to equip a new weapon or see your level progress. Annoying, but I found the treasure room pretty funny. If only because they had hidden one of the golden keys there, which you could only get to by increasing your wealth to the maximum once. I also thought the rental system and the rental income was cool, simply because it actually made some sense in the end by financing the war. I found the story entertaining, even if not outstanding. But I found the characters incredibly funny. Just my kind of "straight to your face" humor.
Fable II is the best i nthe series, i remember when i played it for first time i spent like 60+hours in Bowerstone market doing Blacksmith and literallz bought the whole town. (fun fact/easyest money: in the prologue if you complete the wanted quest for the guard you going to get a 50% discount on every weapon in the old town at the merchant, just buy everything for half price then sell the weapons to the gypsyes in the castle garden for 150%+ profit, then go to slepp and repeat, easy millions)
Calling jack of blades a cookie cutter villian doesn't sit right with me. One of the coolest villians ever and his design was unique especially for 2004
Fable TLC is probably my personal favorite, but Fable 3 actually has my favorite quests and music. Some of the enemy designs are also the best in the series imo.
I played all 3 legit my first couple playthroughs, I've been going through the 3 of the games again and exploiting them all and so far fable 1 was by far the most fun and exploitable
Grew up with Fable 2 but Fable 3 is the one i have played the most but thats only because of the chances you make on the world 🤷🏻♂️ like how much you can fix the worød around you or destroy it based on how much you prioritize money or not erc etc
i love the fable games when i was growing up i would only play final fantasy nothing else GTA any other games didnt do it for me just final fantasy my mum actually thought i was depressed because i would always just play the same game my birthday came my mum bought me xbox had fable tlc with it i remember playing it going through the child hood scenes thinking im not going to like this game but i stuck with it this game proved me wrong because i fell in love with it the humour and the fact the game doesn't take its self so seriously its just one of them games you can play for hours and never get bored. this game showed me its other games out there thats just as good as final fantasy i was more open to start playing other games then.
I played the original Fable on the Xbox, not the 360 or the new ones. I played the original on Xbox live, it will always hold a place in my heart. I am so excited for the new one to come out next
I briefly played fable 1 when i saw it on xbox game pass when gp first dropped, and i played a lot of fable 3 when i was younger and i loved it. Currently have a bit of free time so I'm getting all 3 games and about to play through them. :)
Couldn’t agree more with the feeling that the original Fables tutorial never ends. I loved 2 and even 3. But I cannot get in to 1 for that exact reason
im a person that like simple button mashing cause im bad at blocking and dodging even though it does have those features, i was the hammer plus gun playstyle so i was more dodging while spamming the gun button
In terms of scores, the trilogy has about the same average. But the third one is the one I like the most. At this point, Fable can be considered a co-op game (which, sure, can be played solo) , so I hope Fable 4 is co-op as well
Never played the 2nd and 3rd game, but i beat the Lost Chapters on my original Xbox more thank like 4 or 5 times. Still one of my favorite not only RPGs but games in general.
I absolutely loved the first two games, especially Fable 2. The third one, I don't know what it is about that one but it just didn't pull me in. I don't know that I made it 10 hours into that one before putting it down forever I'm curious to see what they are doing to bring this franchise back, but I'm not all that excited if we have to play as the character shown off in the trailers
Fable 1 and 2 will always hold a place in my nostalgic heart. Fable 3 was just the IP wrapped around a proof of concept for integrating monetization and a store into a game, even down to the micromanaged pacing of consumables. As for the new Fable, without Russel Shaw's music, the core Molyneaux-protected mechanics and a specific brand of writing/humor that made Fable what it was I'm thinking it will be Fable in name only. Studios are leaning hard into AI tools for coding, narrative, art assets, and animation trained on previous IP + heavy use of presets/templates leaning toward mobile-tier stuff so the quality will likely be low and the gameplay lacking complexity due to dumbed down code - just as other recent noteable flop games that used that method.
About the XP in the second game, it works pretty much exactly the same way as it did in the first, it's just that now you pick up all xp from the ground, instead of just the general one. (Also that multiplier wasn't for damage, but XP back in the first game) And Lucian it the most infamous, since you even don't kill him yourself (sometimes). As for difficulty: original release also had a fixed (trivial) difficulty. F3 had exactly 2 neat ideas: mixing spells and evolving weapons. Both kinda wasted. And the aura+wings thing you get at the end looks nice... That's about it. (And don't get me started on buying legendary weapons at the store)
Played the first 2 Fable games when they released and i loved them. I didn't care for the setup for the third one and skipped it. I wish that there were more games like Fable 2 but I'm not hopeful.
I love fable 1 first game I did a no hit run. I probably beat the game dozens of times in every way I could imagine. I always wished they made a prequel using the in game books as source material.
Fable 2 is up there with one of the best games ever made for me, property development, marriage, the story, the effects using certain skills had on appearance as well as how you acted in the world ie. Growing actual horns for evil acts. Plus even just the beautiful style of the world, you just don’t get games like it anymore which is sad
I’ve only played the first, the third which is my favorite, and now anniversary PC. Which, like you I don’t remember the original that well, so I can’t really compare that. I like three because it appealed to my liking to financial tycoon games. They all seemed really easy to me, ironically I found the most difficulty in combat being the hand to hand, and since that gave me the most challenge, I put all my points into magic so I could quickly end all of the annoying disruptions from bandits and the like and really spend some time fighting bosses hand to hand for the most part. I didn’t think the story was good in any of them honestly and that’s why I never played two because someone explained the story and I thought it sounded dumb. But, having not played two, I just thought fable was an extremely linear game. Almost like that was the point. You can do whatever you want, but you’ll never get lost. The fun thing about it though is that in one play through, you can go from being all good to all bad and back to being all good with ease. I’ve never played any other game that would let you do that.
all i want to play 2nd instalment :( played first and 3rd and i enjoy all games like ups and downs ? duno what are downs ? for games i can say what is wrong with 3rd one ?
For me the issue of Fable 3 is RNG taking over everything. Chests no longer have set treasure, its all random. You no longer have a dialogue wheel, just 3 options thats random. The children you have is random where your child can be a completely different race from both parents while the kids in Fable 2 was matched to their parents even being goth zombie like when marying lady gray. The counter kills and sub targeting being removed and replaced with RNG finishers you cant controll. And the road to rule is just restrictive, you cant level just playing the game and not progressing the story and it curtails the optiona you have and choices you make like locking the blade spell to the end game with no way of getting it unlike Fable 2 where you can choose.
@@FallenPhoenix-ml5mnagree with all of that, the thing that really hurts 3 is the metaphorical and literal handholding everything is compressed down to a single unit of value, the seals, and you get gated. It is unnecessarily childish and treats you like a child.
Personally, I would like the Fable 2 style gameplay/exploration with the real villain from Fable 3 (a multi-stage boss fight, as long as its not the cheap "he's a giant, hit the hands then his face" kind) in HD. I actually played the series backwards. I randomly bought a $5 game called Fable 3, because it was cheap, I thought I'd try it. It was so much fun, I then found the 2nd game and eventually the 1st. Honestly that is probably the best way to play the series, since the 3rd has more limitations then the others, but the Crawler was definetly the best part. Fable 2 has best gameplay and freedom, but I agree the final boss was disappointing. Fable 1 Im not sure if I finished. Best part was finding out you could buy property and gain money over time with RENT! 3rd game that gets to be very important at the end, 2nd game you could cheat it because it paid you every ten min even if you werent playing and this was for the Xbox 360 back in 2014-15
This video was more entertaining than playing the game itself. I do love Fable 1 to death and I enjoyed Fable 2. Might have to go back and play Fable 1 again but doing a good guy/girl run.
I pretty much agree with everything you said. I did like the fact you could combine spells in three, though. Also, the new fable is a complete reboot and not made by lionhead. Thank God.
Fable 2 writing and humor was peak. If we could get an anniversary game where they just add 3’s co-op to 2 that would be perfect. I’m also so skeptical that the new fable will be able to live up to the humor and writing of 2
I love the Fable series and 2 is obviously the best one. Though I understand the hate 3 gets and I basically agree with all the criticism, I still love that one too for some reason and I'm really looking forward to the new one.
i personally enjoy all 3 games...yeah each have thier pros and cons fable 2 was by far the best in terms of map design i enjoyed fable 3s story and the inventory system is a bit clunky and seemingly pointless but i enjoyed it and when you look into how the 3 stories link together its just a masterpiece of a trilogy that whole spiel out of the way you did a good job with this video im looking forward to watching more videos
Try Dread Delusion, currently its in early acces on steam. Its an indie RPG fantasy game with retro style. You dont have a map, you have to chart it yourself, there is no mission markers so its challenging with orienting... I found it similair in some ways to gothic/morrowind so im reccomending it to you to try and review.
Dead wrong about treating the combat multiplier in Fable as a fun mini game. It dramatically increases experience gain as it rises. Its one of the most crucial mechanics in the game. *Great video though*
Fable 2 my favorite also i actually played Fable 2 and 3 and did not play number one for a few years later i actually dident like fable one so much bit bizzare as fable 1 normally is most players favorite but i think i prefer the eses of 2 & 3 i kinda think we are all in for a surprise with the next game as we just do not know whats its going to be like and each fable games been different from the next either way looking forward to it hopfully everyone eles Thanks for your videos always nice to watch 😊

More true to the core of the originals than the new Dragon Age trailer xD
Only if they allow you to customize the protagonist

Unfortunately not it's a woke abomination
😂😂😂😂😂
The best easter egg in the franchise is in Fable 2 :
You can find a grave of the Guild Master from Fable 1 which says :
"YOUR health is low".
Isn't it a cannon bit of history that the hero of Fable 1 eventually killed the Guild Master after carving that into his forehead? Or am I mistaking what I want so badly to be true for what was written?
@@Sorain1 it is canon indeed.
Where can I find that lol
@@xBsF14 Look around the graves in Bowerstone, IIRC.
In his Forehead? Jesus!😅
I was thinking a Random Hero who might knew him write it because he Hated he say that all the time😂
I will have to read the books of Fable 2 Again(It was not there)
looks like that comment Appears in the Loading Screen Quotes
"Shortly After Jack of Blades was Felled by the hero. It was Rumored that the Guild Master was also killed by the very same Hero & and was found with the words 'Your Health is Low' carved onto his forehead"
Still the game has some stuff that does not make sense, It says that he wielded Sword of Aeons and defeated Jack of Blades twice, But Teresa still alive😊 I guess my explanation would be that it was just that a lot of time passed and people of albion changes stories(Or they Make a Glitch in a Game part of the Lore were he could get the sword and later restart the fight and you could fight Jack with the sword and save Teresa)
it's unforgivable the 2nd game never getting a PC release.
Couldn't agree more!
It's a shame too because they could have easily removed games for Windows live like they did with fallout 3.
Good thing there are mods for the people who own it on steam to be able to actually play the game.
Especially with that framerate. Any flow the combat would have gets ruined when it feels so slow
Microsoft really dropping the ball not being able to figure out how to get a fable 2 remaster out
Not missing out on much. The first Fable is the only good one in my opinion.
Grew up playing Fable. The original lost chapters will always have a special place in my heart. I really hope 4 is halfway decent.
4 is going to suck, just watch the trailer.
I'm afraid Fable 4 has contracted SweetBabyIncilitis
Do you have any potions, or food?
@@chubs-rn9nqseen it, see nothing wrong. What's all the fuss about?
@N.E.TGaming I'll break it down to you, it's going to be nothing like the original vision of fable. It's going to be more like forspoken.
I feel like most rpgs now a days should contain the social elements of fable like property buying, the expression system, and making a family
Most rpg games now a days aren't even rpgs. They're just shooters with a leveling system and maybe a character creation. But besides that there is very little "role playing" in any of them.

Fable 1 is my favorite game of all time. I'm hoping the new one is good, but I have very little hope for it.
FABLE tloc ost its a Master piece
I love all Fable games, all for different reasons :)
I played the first game on the original XboX (goddamn, I'm that old...) and I always get nostalgic when I see videos about the game. Every now and then I start it up again myself, just to be enchanted by the world again.
I bought an XboX Series S back then, simply because it was the only "next-gen" console that was available here in Germany at the time.
That was when I was able to play Fable 2 for the first time and I immediately fell in love :D
The visit to Oakvale that you mentioned really shocked me. Seeing this pretty town as nothing but ruins really broke my heart.
The hub system in Fable 3 reminded me a bit of Terranigma on the SNES, where you also had to unnecessarily maneuver through the individual rooms to equip a new weapon or see your level progress. Annoying, but I found the treasure room pretty funny. If only because they had hidden one of the golden keys there, which you could only get to by increasing your wealth to the maximum once.
I also thought the rental system and the rental income was cool, simply because it actually made some sense in the end by financing the war.
I found the story entertaining, even if not outstanding.
But I found the characters incredibly funny. Just my kind of "straight to your face" humor.
Fable II is the best i nthe series, i remember when i played it for first time i spent like 60+hours in Bowerstone market doing Blacksmith and literallz bought the whole town. (fun fact/easyest money: in the prologue if you complete the wanted quest for the guard you going to get a 50% discount on every weapon in the old town at the merchant, just buy everything for half price then sell the weapons to the gypsyes in the castle garden for 150%+ profit, then go to slepp and repeat, easy millions)
Calling jack of blades a cookie cutter villian doesn't sit right with me. One of the coolest villians ever and his design was unique especially for 2004
I agree
Fable TLC is probably my personal favorite, but Fable 3 actually has my favorite quests and music. Some of the enemy designs are also the best in the series imo.
Fable 1 will always get my vote in most accurate depiction of English faces contest
I miss fable so much. The soundtrack and sounds play in my head all the time. I hope for remakes it was so beautiful.
I played all 3 legit my first couple playthroughs, I've been going through the 3 of the games again and exploiting them all and so far fable 1 was by far the most fun and exploitable
You know you are a Fable noob when you don't use physical shield 24/7.
Glad you have health life. Your gains are great.
Grew up with Fable 2 but Fable 3 is the one i have played the most but thats only because of the chances you make on the world 🤷🏻♂️ like how much you can fix the worød around you or destroy it based on how much you prioritize money or not erc etc
i love the fable games when i was growing up i would only play final fantasy nothing else GTA any other games didnt do it for me just final fantasy my mum actually thought i was depressed because i would always just play the same game my birthday came my mum bought me xbox had fable tlc with it i remember playing it going through the child hood scenes thinking im not going to like this game but i stuck with it this game proved me wrong because i fell in love with it the humour and the fact the game doesn't take its self so seriously its just one of them games you can play for hours and never get bored. this game showed me its other games out there thats just as good as final fantasy i was more open to start playing other games then.
Realized fable 3 starts off giving the player a psychopath test is pretty funny
I played the original Fable on the Xbox, not the 360 or the new ones. I played the original on Xbox live, it will always hold a place in my heart. I am so excited for the new one to come out next
fable 1 ticks: use shield spell , and enemy cant interpret your attack
The main villain of Fable 2 is complex because he has a dead family and want them back no matter what.
Playing the first Fable for the first time ever on my steam deck. Absolurely insane game, I love it.
How was it? I'm about to play right now
I briefly played fable 1 when i saw it on xbox game pass when gp first dropped, and i played a lot of fable 3 when i was younger and i loved it.
Currently have a bit of free time so I'm getting all 3 games and about to play through them. :)
Remember guys, Fable Anniversary is just a bad dream. Fable TLC forever!
And yet Fable Anniversary is still better than 2 and 3.
No it's not, lol
32, I feel you. FeelsOldMan. 1992 bros, stay strong!
I never played any Fable game but that's one the reasons I subbed to your channel.
Fable 1 was a masterpiece, just hearing the music brings so much memories
Subbed because your voice makes me sleepy. More long form content please to help my ASMR brain! lol
First is best
, replayed it in aprel 2024 still so good
I remember adoring these games as a kid!
Couldn’t agree more with the feeling that the original Fables tutorial never ends. I loved 2 and even 3. But I cannot get in to 1 for that exact reason
fable 3 was my very first rpg on my parents xbox 360 lets say at 12-14 even though im still mad at this to my memory werewolf ambush, but i love it
im a person that like simple button mashing cause im bad at blocking and dodging even though it does have those features, i was the hammer plus gun playstyle so i was more dodging while spamming the gun button
the werewolf attack took me forever to figure out
I LOVED Fable 3 but never played 1 or 2. Damn maybe I was super missing out. Gotta add those to the list to play!
First fable I played when it came out at 8 years old. That game formed me into who I am as a person
These are the videos more people should make . Nostalgia trip! Fable one had one of the best campaigns of any video game . . Period ...
In terms of scores, the trilogy has about the same average.
But the third one is the one I like the most.
At this point, Fable can be considered a co-op game (which, sure, can be played solo) , so I hope Fable 4 is co-op as well
Never played the 2nd and 3rd game, but i beat the Lost Chapters on my original Xbox more thank like 4 or 5 times. Still one of my favorite not only RPGs but games in general.
That Hodgetwins clip cracked me up 😂
Well done good sir, you earned a sub!
I absolutely loved the first two games, especially Fable 2.
The third one, I don't know what it is about that one but it just didn't pull me in. I don't know that I made it 10 hours into that one before putting it down forever
I'm curious to see what they are doing to bring this franchise back, but I'm not all that excited if we have to play as the character shown off in the trailers
23:40 Even as a child, I was so angry that there was no “last boss” or Lucian fight. Terrible decision by devs
Fable 2 is special to me, spent a long time playing that game. ❤
Fable 1 and 2 will always hold a place in my nostalgic heart. Fable 3 was just the IP wrapped around a proof of concept for integrating monetization and a store into a game, even down to the micromanaged pacing of consumables. As for the new Fable, without Russel Shaw's music, the core Molyneaux-protected mechanics and a specific brand of writing/humor that made Fable what it was I'm thinking it will be Fable in name only. Studios are leaning hard into AI tools for coding, narrative, art assets, and animation trained on previous IP + heavy use of presets/templates leaning toward mobile-tier stuff so the quality will likely be low and the gameplay lacking complexity due to dumbed down code - just as other recent noteable flop games that used that method.
Fable was ahead of its time
Fable 2 is one of my all time favorite games ever. I love it.
About the XP in the second game, it works pretty much exactly the same way as it did in the first, it's just that now you pick up all xp from the ground, instead of just the general one.
(Also that multiplier wasn't for damage, but XP back in the first game)
And Lucian it the most infamous, since you even don't kill him yourself (sometimes).
As for difficulty: original release also had a fixed (trivial) difficulty.
F3 had exactly 2 neat ideas: mixing spells and evolving weapons. Both kinda wasted.
And the aura+wings thing you get at the end looks nice... That's about it.
(And don't get me started on buying legendary weapons at the store)
The motion blurr in Fable 2 is crazy and there is no option to turn it off.
I love the fable trilogy despite the flaws.. good video 💯
Played the first 2 Fable games when they released and i loved them. I didn't care for the setup for the third one and skipped it. I wish that there were more games like Fable 2 but I'm not hopeful.
I love fable 1 first game I did a no hit run. I probably beat the game dozens of times in every way I could imagine. I always wished they made a prequel using the in game books as source material.
Fable 2 is up there with one of the best games ever made for me, property development, marriage, the story, the effects using certain skills had on appearance as well as how you acted in the world ie. Growing actual horns for evil acts. Plus even just the beautiful style of the world, you just don’t get games like it anymore which is sad
I’ve only played the first, the third which is my favorite, and now anniversary PC. Which, like you I don’t remember the original that well, so I can’t really compare that. I like three because it appealed to my liking to financial tycoon games. They all seemed really easy to me, ironically I found the most difficulty in combat being the hand to hand, and since that gave me the most challenge, I put all my points into magic so I could quickly end all of the annoying disruptions from bandits and the like and really spend some time fighting bosses hand to hand for the most part. I didn’t think the story was good in any of them honestly and that’s why I never played two because someone explained the story and I thought it sounded dumb. But, having not played two, I just thought fable was an extremely linear game. Almost like that was the point. You can do whatever you want, but you’ll never get lost. The fun thing about it though is that in one play through, you can go from being all good to all bad and back to being all good with ease. I’ve never played any other game that would let you do that.
all i want to play 2nd instalment :(
played first and 3rd and i enjoy all games
like ups and downs ? duno what are downs ? for games i can say what is wrong with 3rd one ?
I have two reasons for the third game: 1) the color palette 2) Fire + Lightning area combo spell makes combat too easy.
For me the issue of Fable 3 is RNG taking over everything.
Chests no longer have set treasure, its all random.
You no longer have a dialogue wheel, just 3 options thats random.
The children you have is random where your child can be a completely different race from both parents while the kids in Fable 2 was matched to their parents even being goth zombie like when marying lady gray.
The counter kills and sub targeting being removed and replaced with RNG finishers you cant controll.
And the road to rule is just restrictive, you cant level just playing the game and not progressing the story and it curtails the optiona you have and choices you make like locking the blade spell to the end game with no way of getting it unlike Fable 2 where you can choose.
@@FallenPhoenix-ml5mnagree with all of that, the thing that really hurts 3 is the metaphorical and literal handholding everything is compressed down to a single unit of value, the seals, and you get gated. It is unnecessarily childish and treats you like a child.
Personally, I would like the Fable 2 style gameplay/exploration with the real villain from Fable 3 (a multi-stage boss fight, as long as its not the cheap "he's a giant, hit the hands then his face" kind) in HD.
I actually played the series backwards. I randomly bought a $5 game called Fable 3, because it was cheap, I thought I'd try it. It was so much fun, I then found the 2nd game and eventually the 1st. Honestly that is probably the best way to play the series, since the 3rd has more limitations then the others, but the Crawler was definetly the best part. Fable 2 has best gameplay and freedom, but I agree the final boss was disappointing. Fable 1 Im not sure if I finished.
Best part was finding out you could buy property and gain money over time with RENT! 3rd game that gets to be very important at the end, 2nd game you could cheat it because it paid you every ten min even if you werent playing and this was for the Xbox 360 back in 2014-15
At the end of the second i didnt shoot him. I waited to see what would happened. Reaver ended up shooting him lol.
This video was more entertaining than playing the game itself. I do love Fable 1 to death and I enjoyed Fable 2. Might have to go back and play Fable 1 again but doing a good guy/girl run.
I pretty much agree with everything you said. I did like the fact you could combine spells in three, though. Also, the new fable is a complete reboot and not made by lionhead. Thank God.
Nice gains bro
I love fable 2 it had the best atmosphere in the beginning and in the end
Fable 2 writing and humor was peak. If we could get an anniversary game where they just add 3’s co-op to 2 that would be perfect.
I’m also so skeptical that the new fable will be able to live up to the humor and writing of 2
I love the Fable series and 2 is obviously the best one. Though I understand the hate 3 gets and I basically agree with all the criticism, I still love that one too for some reason and I'm really looking forward to the new one.
Really wish they would release Fable 2 on PC.
Yeah big fan of the 2nd Fable game, would love to play a remastered version
i personally enjoy all 3 games...yeah each have thier pros and cons fable 2 was by far the best in terms of map design i enjoyed fable 3s story and the inventory system is a bit clunky and seemingly pointless but i enjoyed it and when you look into how the 3 stories link together its just a masterpiece of a trilogy that whole spiel out of the way you did a good job with this video im looking forward to watching more videos
A recommendation: Fate (2005). Isometric dungeon crawler, has a few sequels and seems a bit forgotten. Great channel :)
God tier games. 1 and 2, especially truly brilliant. 2 is my favorite, but I even enjoy fable 3.
Try Dread Delusion, currently its in early acces on steam. Its an indie RPG fantasy game with retro style. You dont have a map, you have to chart it yourself, there is no mission markers so its challenging with orienting... I found it similair in some ways to gothic/morrowind so im reccomending it to you to try and review.
Dead wrong about treating the combat multiplier in Fable as a fun mini game. It dramatically increases experience gain as it rises. Its one of the most crucial mechanics in the game. *Great video though*
Man Fable is my jam.
Fable trilogy, the ultimate "We have 'Legend of Zelda' at home".
@28:15 not really, if you get a key somewhere you can still play it on steam. I managed to play it on Steam when i bought a key for Fable 3.
Hot take: A super easy game can be awesome so long as it is fun. That is the Fable series for me.
Fable 2 will always be my favourite one
Oh the third one was good. I liked the story line as the princess
35:34 LOOOOL
Man I still keep waiting for fable2 to be available to PC.. It's the only one I haven't played.
man i remember playing through fable 3 solo and loving it i dont understand the hate lol
Started with fable 3 and went backwards but fable 2 is the best but fable 3 will always be my favorite
goat game series
Fable 1 logic - put points in stealth and you get taller
It did take a moment to get used to but im good with it now. Also it is good but nothing beats the nostalgia of the first one
Fable 2 my favorite also i actually played Fable 2 and 3 and did not play number one for a few years later i actually dident like fable one so much bit bizzare as fable 1 normally is most players favorite but i think i prefer the eses of 2 & 3 i kinda think we are all in for a surprise with the next game as we just do not know whats its going to be like and each fable games been different from the next either way looking forward to it hopfully everyone eles
Thanks for your videos always nice to watch 😊
you can turn guild master tutorials off in anniversary. i dont think you could in original if im remembering right
Just in time when they dropped new Fable trailer ;)
