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 "Platinum Hits" re-release of Fable includes additional material, such as quests, characters, regions, weapons, armor, and enemies, which were originally featured in the PC port of the original Xbox game. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“When xbox gamers had seen that the game on the PC was very extended in comparison with the one on the xbox, they made The Lost Chapters to please the complaining gamers a bit. This one still didn't have as much content as the PC version...”

“A ridiculously fun and addictive game. The story is not original, but it's an enjoyable classic: a hero's epic journey culminating in the final battle against evil. The Physical Shield spell eventually makes combat a little too easy.”

“This re-release added in content that was not included in the original that increased the length of gameplay time. Still a great game. ”
