DESCRIPTION
Fable is designed to offer pure, concentrated role-playing, with a primary emphasis on open character development and influential interaction with the game world. The game begins as the player's character enters the fantasy land of Albion, a growing, interactive environment that develops and changes with each new event. The character grows and changes as well, beginning the adventure as a youth but slowly aging as he or she lives life in Albion, gaining wrinkled skin, graying hair, and (hopefully) becoming quite elderly by the end of the story.
The game is designed such that every choice and action the character makes can have an effect on his or her development. Physically active characters become more fit, while those who spend their time studying the arcane arts may develop receding hairlines. Characters who spend time working in the hot sun will get a tan and individual wounds heal into distinct, telling scars. Less tangible characteristics mature according to behavior as well. Players are free to commit nearly any conceivable action, but acts of cruelty will lead to vilification by NPC townsfolk, while noble and altruistic deeds may inspire loyalty and adulation from the masses.
Instead of focusing on a limited number of scripted "good versus evil" plot points, character development in this game occurs mostly through hundreds of minor day-to-day decisions that gradually come to define and refine the character's place in the game world. In short, role-playing gamers are offered a virtual lifetime of choices to play through. Fable is developed by Big Blue Box, an affiliate of Lionhead Studios, whose Black & White games share the theme of free-form, consequential character development over a broad span of time.
As hinted by the "Lost Chapters" subtitle, this PC port of the original Xbox release features additional quests, characters, and regions to explore, as well as new weapons, armor, and enemies. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“Fun game, definitely worth playing through. Incredibly short. It seemed like there should have been a lot more, but maybe that is just because it draws a lot of comparisons to The Elder Scrolls games. The game world is not really as open as I would have first expected and the main story is laughably short, taking no longer than 8 hours to complete, although the Lost Chapters expansion does add a few hours to that time. All complaining aside, there were a few things that I liked about the game. The decision making aspect was fun, if a bit shallow. Basically, make a good decision get good points, make a bad one and get bad points. Two different endings depending on how you decide at the end. It doesn't seem that your decisions up to this point really make that much of a difference. It would be interesting to see a similar decision making process in a future Elder Scrolls game. Overall, worth a quick run through, but your time would be much better spent playing Oblivion.”

“When I first played this game I fell in love with it. I played it non-stop for weeks beating it countless times. The main story is only about 7-10hours long depending on how fast you are. The graphics are great for its time the gameplay is just amazing. You can purchase many spells with experience you gain from defeating enemies or just using your current spells. There are a few moral choices to be made in the story some will change your hero more than others. Over all this game is just amazing and probably My favorite RPG of all time.”

“A thouroughly immersive action RPG full of charm and character, Fable is a joy to play. From humble beginnings, your character develops from a boy into an extraordinary hero (or infamous villain for that matter). Fantastic story and great gameplay.”

“Quality RPG/social game with a beautiful presentation, plus a fun story mode to follow. Player deeds reflect upon character appearance. Open-ended gameplay is hampered by linear storyline and small game world, but charm and variety keep it going.”
