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.
It is important to note that 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 player's place in the game world. In short, Xbox gamers are offered a virtual lifetime of choices to play through. Fable is developed by Big Blue Box, an affiliate of Lionhead Studios, whose popular Black & White shares the theme of free-form, consequential character development over a broad span of time. ~ T.J.

“Fable was a decent enough game; I enjoyed traveling from place to place all over Albion and taking out the bad guys when I came across them. Although the overall story was a little too short, leveling each of the three skill sets some gave me something else to do. Trying to get more and more NPCs to check out what my Hero had done by carrying around the Trophies was fun, in a silly way. Watching the little hearts swell above the many ladies, and a few men, that gathered around as the Hero posed and listening them call out whatever title I'd picked for my Hero was just fun. Of course, so was taking this item and that item while the NPCs weren't around. All in all, I enjoyed myself.”

“I beat the game as both good and evil, and like everyone else; enjoyed shooting lightning out of my hand like I was a sith. I never really saw why everyone hyped this game up so much at launch, it was an okay game...but far from being the best.”

“Not as free roam as advertised, but still a decent game in it's own right, if not for the fact that stealth is impossible.”
