In 2022 I crossed 52 games off my backlog, and I’m already making decent progress in 2023.
Now, I can finally say I’ve experienced Fable.
Fable gives you so much freedom to do whatever you want, even if it’s silly and makes no sense.
Underneath the aging game design, Fable is something extremely special.
Fable Anniversary also lacks in-depth accessibility options, with even subtitles being compromised.
In this way, Fable may confuse players used to more recent RPGs.
I donated 100,000 Gold to the Temple of Avo like a chump. Should’ve sacrificed 10 people to Skorm instead.
You’re also never confronted with an endless array of vague, questionably meaningful decisions.
It’s the ways in which you could control that destiny where Fable’s magic lies.
Fable isn’t afraid to be delightfully silly just because it can.
My Hero bought a quaint home in Bowerstone, where he lives with his lovely wife.
Fable also features a healthy number of Expressions that can be used to interact with the people of Albion.
you’re free to even fart… at any point, whenever you want.
What is it about this 19-year-old classic that remains so fun after all this time?
The Hero shirked my polyamorous nature in favor of a single spouse, presumably so he’d have more time to go adventuring.
It’s all about getting things done, all the time.
Modern RPGs are all about the next thing to do, but Fable just wants you to have fun.
Fable Anniversary was amazing, and I loved every moment of my nearly 21 hours in it.
I could thank this NPC for their unsolicited compliment, perform a hearty jig for them, or just fart in their face, because why not?
I just hope the Forza Horizon developers remember what makes the original Fable so special.
Modern games may bring more interesting and dynamic combat, but Fable Anniversary still holds up.
