Fun:
If you haven't yet played this game, well, you don't know what you are missing...
FABLE-THE LOST CHAPTERS is a game so full of great ideas that later games could not stop imitating (and isn't imitation the best form of compliment?). After being an X-BOX title for too long, it eventually got released for PCs.
The game is a Third-Person cRPG starting with your character as a little boy made witness to his village burning and his family getting murdered. The orphan then gets schooled in a military academy (one of the most subtle and best designed tutorials EVER!) and graduates to face his first quest. From then on, this beautiful non-linear and multileveled game never lets you without a fresh surprise!
Sure, there is hacking and slashing and sharpshooting to our hearts content; however, this cRPG's ambitions do not expire there. Your character will grow, acquire scars and marks, get haircuts and tattoos - whereas his body shape and height will depend on his habits, training and alignment. You can buy a house, impress the ladies and even get married. There are also a number of mini-games within FABLE, from gambling to fishing and prize-duels.
The graphics are beautiful (a bit dated today yet still much better than most systems can handle). Facial expressions and body movements are fluid and natural, whereas, grass, flowers and tree branches move to the wind and in your path. There is a weather system and night-and-day alterations. In FABLE you will see the best sunrise and the most rich sunset sky colors EVER! When a scenery moves you enough you can even take a...in game picture that can be viewed later (they are saved in a special folder in MY DOCUMENTS). I am telling you, Peter Molyneux left nothing to chance! Whatever could be turned on its head, well, it was...
The gameplay is plain brilliant! The controls are intuitive and the lower-edge-of-the-screen shortcuts could not be more user-friendly. Looting is usual and merchants are abundant. Weapons and armor are well designed (nothing like the childish ones in...NWN) and special unique sets (rarely) available.
I have completed this game at least three times (the last one was this summer) - and I have enjoyed all of them immensely! Now that the price has dropped, it's even a bargain!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Fable: The Lost Chapters contains more content than its Xbox counterpart, released earlier this year. Microsoft have produced a most brilliant slice of fantasy cake.
Admittedly, I didn't think I would like this game, being a hardcore KOTOR player (another cracking RPG), I was a little hesitant to go from lightsabres and pistols to swords and bows. However, this is definately one of the best purchases I have made in a long time, since buying KOTOR 1 in fact.
As a boy who's village is ravaged by bandits, you must travel to the Hero's Guild and train from a boy, to apprentice, and ultimately into adulthood. This part of the game was fun, but a little disappointing. It felt a little rushed to put the player into adulthood, even with all the sidequests played. I was most looking forward to being an apprentice (a young person), but found this to be the quickest stage. All this set aside, once you leave the Hero's Guild and travel out into the big, wide world or Albion, the game really becomes excellent.
The bulk of the game is accepting Hero Missions from inside the Hero's Guild. There are hundreds of sidequests to do, and lots of other fun things to add a bit of light-hearted gaming to it. You must learn your sword skills, bow skills and "Will" powers. Will powers are basically magic abilities, and really are fantastic. I must say I have not yet completed the game, and so I cannot comment on the farthest stages.
In terms of video hardware, the game isn't very demanding, which is what I liked a lot. I have a powerful machine, however, a Pentium 4 3.4GHz, 512MB of RAM and a Radeon X800 XL card. Despite this, I found KOTOR was very computer draining, even mind struggled. But, Fable, with all its graphical glory, can be set to maximum settings and NO lag at all! Fantastic really.
So in conclusion to this taster of Fable: The Lost Chapters, this game really is worth the investment, if your an RPG fan or not, you will love this game.

Fun:
I'm not quite sure what version the last reviewer seemed to be playing, but it definatly wasn't the standard release! Just to clarify, the game never crashed for me once, you CAN save the game whenever you want, the control system is perfectly fine (you DO NOT need to hold a keyboard button and mouse down for spells for example, don't know where he got that from. It's just the one mouse button.) and if you can't use the scroll button without pressing it down then I think you need more practice!
All that aside, Fable is a great little RPG. OK, it may not be very long or have many side-quests, but it's quirky and fun to play - a great way to spend an hour or two a night for a few weeks. The graphics are very sharp but very playful in nature and the sheer size of some of the weapons will make you laugh! Highly recommended if you want an RPG that's not going to take over your life (i.e. any of the Elder Scolls).

Fable 3 (PC) stolen by Hobbes!
Given the mild lull in information regarding the Fable 3 (PC) release dates, this seemed like a good time filler and a reason to ease frustration on the local Hobbe population. Read more

Simplistic yet fun
Compaired to RPGs like Oblivion/Morrowind or any Bioware game, Fable comes out looking very shallow. However it has a certain charm that makes it an enjoyable game to play through. Read more
