- In today's video, it is finally time to dive into the final chapter of my recent run of Fable content, we've discussed the shortcomings of Fable 3, the joys of Fable 2 and FINALLY in today's video we're going to be taking a look back at the game that started it all, albeit the remastered version because of course.

#Fable #Gaming - Hry
Fable 1 is by far the best of the three imo. The soundtrack alone hits me so hard
Which Fable one though? Original, TLC, or Anniversary? All were great IMO! I think fable 2 was also reaaally good. Fable 3 was just fun for maxing out the ice maiden pistol to do speed runs with lol. It did extremely glitched damage once fully upgraded. The final boss fight takes mere seconds and it messes up cutscenes and dialogue lines lol.
The best one is FABLE 2
It is the best game, but fable 2 will always be my favourite
Hit these nuts hard weirdo
@@Studiosmediamilk prefer Fable 1. The size of the world was just perfect. Fighting is fun. And no dumb light leading you to your objective.
Also, the artstyle feels on point. Like a Zelda game that is not Zelda.
"hero your health is low. Do you have any potions, or food?"
“Hero your will energy is low, Watch that.”
“Try and get your combat multiplier even higher”
I always thought he was saying "your health is low...whats that?" Lol
Your health is critical!
@@LoveTwoExploresame lol. It sounds like the voice actor got distracted in booth
In the starting scenario, you can take the gold peice from the cheating man as a bribe, then take a gold peice from his wife for ratting him out. You win both ways
Sounds political
You can definitely cripple the economy in Fable. It's actually much quicker and easier than in 2 or 3. All you gotta do is buy all stock of an item and then go and sell it all right back.
Didn't know that, I'll try it sometime!
@@Fizhy yeah, it's super simple. Pretty much right as soon as you get into Bowerstone for the first time you can do it. There's that trader by the gate who sells potions and other trade goods. If you have enough money to buy out all the stock of one of his items (has to be semi high stock at least so the price changes), you can do so at a minimal price. Then you go and "Sell all" back to him for a pretty nice markup. This also works with just about any trader/item in the game.
@@Fizhyupgrade your guile to at least level 5, but if you max it out you can make money way faster.
I like to go to the trader camp in Darkwood then buy and sell all the emeralds and jets that the trader has.
Always finish by buying out his stock so that next time you visit he’ll have restocked, so you can double your own supply.
It’ll accumulate quick.
You can also buy all of the houses and shops and rent as long as you kill the prior occupants
It’s not like that in heroic mode
I played all the fables and grew up with my older brother playing this game in my hay days! I am 22 by brother 31. Games have lost the touch of life to it in my opinion. Fable 1 is a nostalgic boost to my morale and I find myself revisiting it time and time again. It’s so simple yet elegant
Love this. Im exactly your brothers age and i got my little brother into fable as well haha.
Here again ❤ came from CZcams algorithm to me specially 🎉😂
If i remember correctly the mask that Jack is wearing is possessing the hero that defeated him long ago. Same thing almost happens when you kill him in dragon form.
correct
It can happen when you defeat him in dragon form, just don't click the button.
Jack then says.
"I told you, it's not easy to kill The Hero!"- Or something like that.
I always wore the mask, with full devil horns you looked badass
*A* hero that defeated him long ago, maybe, but it should be noted that he was last bested by William, who is in fact *NOT* possessed by Jack of Blades, as he banished him and his buddies from Albion a long time ago.
Scythe is rumored to be William, but it was never confirmed.
The memories I have with Fable 1 is overwhelming great. Soundtrack, combat, and setting was amazing for its time.
the nostalgia that fable has etched into my soul is amazing my god just hearing the classic fable music truly makes me happy
Does anyone else remember in fable 1 Jack of blades voice wasn’t so deep and menacing? Then it changed after the lost chapters came out.
His original voice was more unique and interesting, and IMO suited his fairly normal, human look. The deep, evil voice almost made it funny that he was even trying to look mysterious and wearing a mask.
Underrated comment 💯
Also, knothole glade and knothole island are unfortunately, not the same place. In fable 2 they explain that the people from knothole glade got tired of all the balvarine attacks and found a new island to call home. Kinda disappointing that we never got to see knothole glade again. It was one of my favorite places. It isn't even on the map in fable 3 for some reason
True as that may be, I'm pretty sure that Westcliff from Fable 2 is what use to be known as Knothole Glade, I'm not positive, but if not, it's at least the relative location it use to be, or very similar.
@@WinegedDragoon I mean, knothole glade was on an island, so unless that island crashed into the mainland between 1 and 2 probably not. But in a world of magic, I suppose anything is possible.
@hallows2729 Yea, the map also changed a lot between 1 and 2, not as much as me saying "a lot" means, but still. After all, it was a good 500yrs between the two lore wise, if I remember correctly. So there could have been a good bit of geographical changes.
@@WinegedDragoon I'm not positive on the time difference exactly but I do know enough time passed that people think heroes are basically just fairy tales or long past. The map started off as just old world Britain (aka Albion). Then in 2 they focused on the mainland while making the occasional nod to the surrounding islands. Then in 3 they changed it completely, the knothole glade island is just gone now, either that or it's the secret prison now and they just retconned it's size by a lot. Or I guess the island could have just been chipped away by the tides, something parts of the british isles are known for. But again, magic lol. If a magic tower can press the reset button on civilization I don't see an issue with magical alteration of the land over time. Still wish they would have covered it but they kinda just took themselves less and less seriously with each game. Big part of the company's downfall, granted, not the main cause.
@hallows2729 yea, I love the Fable series, but personally, I gotta admit they went downhill in later games. Also very true, could have just been destroyed or made into something else entirely over time.
I own 5 copies of Fable (2 TLC, 2 original and one anniversary) as well as the limited edition dvd and the game’s soundtrack.
It’s my favorite game of all time.
On sponsoring a guards break: the guards will turn a blind eye to any crimes you commit.
Also if you revisit the road to Bargate prison undead will spawn 3-6 at a time indefinitely. If you use the physical shield spell you can endlessly accumulate combat multiplier. I’ve gotten mine to over 1000… it took several hours though😂.
I gotta try that
@@puppetofonlyone1433 bring a cubic buttload of will potions.
@@Indarow oh I know the money glitches.
Fable is my favorite, especially the first one. I find it super replayable cause you don’t need to go all three routes of Strength, Skill and Will. You only need one. I’ve beaten the game as a Super hero (all 3) a multitude of two played different ways or just one route only. Currently replaying a Pure Mage however I’ve restricted myself to specific spells and it’s fantastic.
Also you can own all houses and building, you only need to get rid of the owners. Commonly you unalive them but if you want to be good you can simply have them follow you outside the town, have them stop and go back. Their home/store is now available to buy. Course the best way to exploit the economy is just buying and selling a ton of a single type of item non stop to single merchant and you’ll be filthy rich 🤣
19:56 Ackshually...
You can buy every house and every business, except in Bowerstone South, where you can only buy the pre-purchaseable house, the indoors item shop, the barber and tavern.
The previous owners just have to die first, either by murder, or "accidentally" when guards try to arrest you for vandalism or having your weapon out, while your summoned ghost swords and/or summon is next to a unfortunate person who just happens to die in the ensuing chaos (you don't get blamed for kills by summons).
For Bowerstone, you have to have enough reputation/fame to convince the owners to follow you with the "follow" -emote, lead them outside Bowerstone and then stick ´em. Another way is to hire mercenaries, and then cause vandalism, and have the accidental deaths happen that way.
But have you noticed that Knothole Glade has a Scarlet Robe statue ( exactly where the chieftain on the white balverine quest) , but our hero suddenly recognises her in the same model statue in the Arena Halls :D:D
That character that only appeared once (Rose), way better that she appeared once in the improved versions rather than the zero times she appeared in the original. She was just all of a sudden there in the end battle for me when I was a kid and I was like "who the hell are you? you have your own model and everything, you seem important, did I miss something? what's going on!?"
Yeah I'm calling Bull on that because you meet her at least 3 other times before that
@@beelzeboss42 Not in the original
@@hyllsimon Briar Rose only appears twice in the original, she appears more than thrice in the Lost Chapters
@@beelzeboss42 Where does she appear a second time in the original? Been looking around and as far as I can tell no, my memory is correct, she only appeared during the end fight in the original.
@@hyllsimon she appears in the Map Room when you return to the Guild after the Wasp Queen battle, rather than go to Bowerstone right away to see Maze you go straight back to the guild and she'll give you the quest card spiel, and then you never see her again until the end game. In TLC, after you meet her in the guild, you do a side quest with her in Darkwood to do with the Summoners that appear after you battle Jack in the Chamber of Fate
First game/anniversary is definitely the best just due to the variety in skills and weapon types, definitely feels like more of an RPG than the other games.
Fizhy, Your videos always brighten my day, so I subscribed!
I definitely prefer Fable 2 that is one of my favorite games of that entire console generation never mind the franchise
However this original game was one of my favorite games on the Xbox for sure, it was one of those dream come true kind of games for me at the time.
The way that it told storytelling and how you were able to interact with the world and form your character was so unique
It stood out compared to even other open world RPG prototypes and even in my opinion holds up stronger than some of the ones that came after it
It's funny that you are also tackling oblivion at the moment because Oblivion was the game that initially to me managed to outshine Fable, but these days I think Fable holds up way better
Sure I also ended up falling hype to the broken promises of Peter molyneux, however despite the fact that he was unable to deliver on the grand scope of the game I thought they delivered on enough of it that it absolutely blew my mind and made it a blast to play through multiple times.
There is a certain charm that this game has that is missing from the sequel as well just due to the fact that it can lean into more of the traditional fantasy backdrop that gets lost a little bit with the second game being in more of an industrial age time.
But I fell in love with the overall concept for the game and the world of Albion, I loved that I could be a saintly angel or a reviled devil of a character or somewhere in between, I loved the quirky and distinct British humor throughout the game, and I loved that I could be a character with the kind of name that would make people tremble in their boots but yet my accomplishments were mostly that I was a real estate mogul with the world record for farthest chicken punt, who married a different woman in every town and routinely harassed them by inviting them up to bed only to then fart on them and run out the door
Phenomenal game lmao
The more these Fable videos I watch, the more I begin to understand its charms more. I never really tried to understand much of it other than "silly English fantasy game with haphazard storytelling", but now I seen the potential it had and how I kept returning to it.
I'm hoping, despite the red flags, that the soft reboot realizes the freedom of choice this game had for role-playing.
Fable's demon door and interlude OSTs sticks like a distant childhood of every blokes born in the 80s/90s which played the game in it's hayday prior to even Fable 2's release just like 2009
It has the powerful impression similar to Xbox original's other former exclusive games akin to Ninja Gaiden Black to even early Dead or Alive games
Wait hold up you didn’t get the sword “Avo’s Tear” in the lost chapters part? When Briar Rose talks about that it might have been a bad idea to throw away the sword of Aeons the guild master literally right after tells tells apyou and points you in the direction of Avo’s tear.
Fable 1 was like a dream, a very fun and enchanting dream I wished would never end. Maybe it was because this was on the Xbox and sat on the cusp of gaming's future and shouldered the hopes and dreams all young gamers now in their 30's and 40's today. I myself played this nearly 20 years ago with the greatest of feelings that just on the horizon something really great was coming and it all was all going to start with these new gen games, like Fable.
Great video! New to the channel, very much enjoying what I’m seeing!
This game was my childhood. I got an Xbox for my birthday. Original refurbished . I must have played that game more than I played Skyrim. 3000 hours just walking around the world and roleplaying as a master hero that no one is a match for
Nice video! I want to add that sponsoring a guards break will make them ignore crimes commited close to them (in my experience). And you can very much break the economy by buying the entire stock of an item from a trader and then selling it back as the supply and demand system is busted. The trade "exploit" works very well in chicken mode but requires many more items in heroic mode. For example you could sell and re-buy health potions over and over once you have enough, it worked for me at around 100 potions
3:13 I laughed so hard, thanks for that. This shows some of the subtle humor of fable, along with your comment 7:48 here. There was that subtle bit of humor in that you could kind of do what you wanted, and certain times it made no sense. I don’t remember how specifically but I think I worked my xp up vs whisper in the beginning by relentlessly beating her
I love using beserk into multi hit with the will shield and just destroy everything. multi arrow is useful too.
You forgot to get avo's tear by getting a book in the tower next to the shop and going to the grave next to it.
You're lucky I have short term memory. More engagement from rewatching your vids. Much love from Tx.
The first Fable was definitely the best one. I feel like the series got progressively worse tbh. They kept taking things out of each game, best example is magic powers. I miss the openess and freedom the first Fable gave me. I really felt like my destiny was truly in my hands and I could do anything at anytime which included going from a great dude to a bastard
Fable is a classic game. I love all three games but my favorite order goes Fable 2, Fable 1/Anniversary and Fable 3. Fable is still has more of a RPG feel to it so that I love.
Definitely not on rails.
Loved this series.
I have a deep nostalgia for the fable games and I only got into them like 11-12 years ago
Cant believe im a week late thanks for all the fable content bro
Any of the towns that you can kill the villagers you can buy all the houses you just need to kill the owner first
I've been loocking forward to this
My powers have doubled since the last time we met.
@@Fizhy Good, twice the pride double the fall.
Fable 1 is defiantly my favorite out of the 3, the story is great, combat holds weight, the spells feel better imo, and the consequences can be felt as you progress through the game. I love the high fantasy setting a lot, and this game has it in spades.
Something I like more about the lost chapters version (and the original) is the pause menu (at least on xbox) is designed to look like a book, and you're flipping through pages. It's a nice touch that ties well into the idea of it being a "fable" or fairy tale.
You can buy most buildings if the owner dies. And the sponsored guard's break can be used to either free those buildings from their owners or just steal stuff. It can be a good investment if you know what you are doing.
2:49 Ackshually the heroic mode also increases enemy damage and reduces the amount of health and mana potions in shops. It also stops you from insta-killing every boss with a single multi arrow.
I.e. it's not exactly "hard" -mode, more like Normal mode, but still, it's a good change.
The economy in Anniversary is kind of broken if you know how to exploit it. For instance, if you purchase all the perfume bottles in Oakvale, then proceed to sell them back, you will gain more gold each time. You can repeat this process with other more expensive items like gems. When you have all of them, just sleep until the vendor's inventory is restocked, and buy more. This will continue netting you more gold every time you buy everything and sell it back. The idea here is the NPC offers a discount to you when he has a lot in stock. On the other hand, when he has none in stick, he will be more willing to pay you more money. You can amass 500k in just under an hour of starting the game.
I'd call that realistic economics
i like telling the cheater i wont tell his wife for a gold coin then telling the wife hes cheating for another gold coin, get two gold for the same quest lol. and you get a cool pimp hat from somewhere (i cant remember) and changing my name to 'pie master'. good work, keep it up 👍
Beautiful video and mirrors some of my own thoughts. I actually wanna get several other people to make a hideo aprund things they've learned from games.
Fhizy we love your videos ! And you made me want to play Fable II again !
Amazing work mate
Fable 1 was just so epic with 2 clean goal posts that drove the story. The arena was so hyped up i felt on pins and needles when i got there, and jack as a final villain was a great final protagonist. Fable 2 obviously didnt want to double down on the exact same notes so it prioritized world building over the overall epicness, but for me that trade wasn't worth it.
This was the only fable game I've ever played and not going to lie i abused the hell out of the glitch involving the arena and the giant scorpion boss in it.
I went out of my way to max out both evil and good or as I called it my paladin run
I told my friend how much I loved Fable 3. It’s the only one I’ve played so far and she told me it’s the worst. And now you post this video? It’s a sign I have to play the first two now.
Real talk, I started playing this game last month and all I can say... How am I feeling nostalgic for a game I've never played!?
*A T M O S P H E R E*
All right, and this is going to be an oddly specific question here, did anyone else get the fishing hat and wear it throughout the entire game while being completely evil, by murdering every random merchant they came across, but only choosing good options during the story bits?
Psh... What a fool!
Pimp hat supremacy!
I'd say it's a bit better than 2. But if 2 got the Anniversary treatment, it would be the best by far.
Ehhhh only if the DLC isn't handled the way it originally was, that was completely scummy on Lion Head's part though idk if that was a them decision or a Microsuck one but it doesn't matter who made that call it was worse than Horse Armor in TES4 as much as people wanna shit on that particular DLC there's plenty that was worse content wise and more scummy...Fables 2 and 3 are good showcases of this fact unfortunately :L
My personal favourite is Fable 1, but really I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't put Fable 2 on PC, because they did it for Fable 1 twice (Lost Chapters and Anniversary, don't know about other markets but it's on steam) and Fable 3 which was removed from storefronts like steam. Whilst Fable 2 never received a PC release bizarrely enough, there are other titles of which I could say the same thing like I would love Microsoft to remaster the Gears of War Trilogy and put it on PC.
I feel like a lot of people would buy those two titles on PC.
@@Arcanuawhat are you even talking about lol.
Comparing horse armor to F2 and F3's dlc is ridiculous. They had whole quests
@@Coreisus How about you actually read what I said, the comparison actually makes sense if you did 8)
@@Arcanua you're comparing doc's with full story, and side quests, to a dlc to armor your horse.
And claiming the fable dlc's are worse.
You don't know what the fuck you're talking about
Its bin awhile since i played the game but Im pretty sure you can buy any house that is in a area that you can use your weapon. You just have to kill the current owner of the house.
Or if you can get them to follow you, go to the temple of scorm and sacrifice them. You can own almost all, if not all houses and shops this way. Then use the rent money at the temple of avo to "fix" you're alignment if you want.
Ive been playing this on my handheld lenovo legion go lately. Such a great game! Great handheld too tbh! It has been a dream to play Fable on a handheld since I was a kid. I played the original even before TLC came out. A lot of people dont even realize this, but TLC was sort of an expansion on the original, with some changes. In the original fable, the sword of aeons did like 550 damage instead of 230 like in TLC. It kinda worked though, since the magic and all the other stuff was already OP.
I can't believe I never considered Fable as a video essay topic!!
I remember the bandit camp quest. If you can aim well, you can shoot the bandits in the head and they will die. You can do that instead of sneaking to get past the gate.
The only thing I overtly remember fondly about this game is that your hair color would change from brunette to black or blonde depending on your alignment. However I did not care at all for the horns or halo so I played the game only slightly evil of slightly good just for the hair color.
You got me with the"comment mad shit" line lol
Idk I feel like Anniversary somehow made the characters faces uglier? I like the menu interface better too in the original. I think I just prefer Lost Chapters over Anniversary. But I mean, it's basically still the same game lol
It did make them uglier. Og looks so much better imo
Theres just no way 1 isnt the best. The sense of mystery and adventure, the genuine want to understand the story and characters, actually having interesting characters... these elements and so many more aspects are not just turned down, but completely gone in the sequels.
yeah, the whole dying thing gets real with this game. the first time that I played it, I was not prepared for the arena, and ended up starting the last round with no resurrection phials or health potions, and just enough health to die from a single hit.....it took me a good 2 hours to beat that round.
@21:23 If you sponsor a guards break they will turn their backs to you and you can steal stuff or pick a lock undetected.
@Fizhy If you yuu weren't made aware yet you can buy more then 1 building in any settlement, but if no ones selling you can't buy. So what you have to do is get the owners of the buildings to follow you through a loading screen then dismiss them and when you return their home will be up for sale. Or you can just outright kill them, it pretty much has the same effect but thats not important. Even if you buy everything, and yes almost every building can be obtained, you still can't effect the market through owning the building as you have no control over rent or prices for shop that you own. The passive income is nice but not really needed in Fable A.
While you can't really crash the economy like in the other games, you can slaughter the townfolk and then buy their houses only to rent them out. So yes, you can own every building in the game that's inhabited :)
@6:12 Whatever the guards were doing doesnt matter if Jack of Blades was there
Have you ever played Kingdoms of Amalur?
Quite different to Fable in a lot of ways but whenever I'm trying to think of games similar to Fable this one always pops into my mind first (and is pretty much the only one I can think of that ticks enough boxes).
Anyway, would love to see a video from you about it.
if you ever wanted to check it out I'd recommend prioritising getting to "Relentless Assault" in the Might skill tree rather quickly as it prevents you from getting interrupted on hits while active.
Also, Chakrams are the coolest weapon (imo).
I'm using my partners phone to comment but you spot on i think the same about koa the games just aren't made like that anymore
@Fizhy Now you should try out the arcade title "Fable Heroes". Its not a traditional fable game but its still fun
27:30 I like more farming two zombies in the passage to the prison, after the Isle of Man looking stage. There are one hit if you have The Harbinger or more power weapon, and with a magic shield, you can get a mil XP in less than an hour, which is like almost skills upgrades! 😂
Only the ogs know the trader money glich
I like almost everything about fable 1 better than 2. The main story, spells, quest boasting, enemy variety, clothes and armor, the loot from silver chests and demon doors, and having something as simple as a mini map. I do still enjoy fable 2 and think it improves in a couple ways, but I don’t understand why it’s the fan favorite.
One of da best
1) GTA 4
2) Fable 1
3) Skyrim
4) Witcher 3
5) Red Dead 2
6) Sleeping Dogs
7) Assassins Creed Brotherhood
8) Oblivion
9) San Andreas
10) Mass Effect 1
I wish you used more magic it expands the combat and makes it more in depth. Its easy to fall into hack and slashing in fable 1 and not experience the whole combat systems. You can easily kill two trolls by using shield which protects you and consumes mana instead of health, using multiple hit which multiplys the damage you do with sword, as well as using enflame could have taken those trolls out with ease. Using more spells gives the combat more depth.
If you use physical shield over and over again with mana potions you won’t ever take damage, I did that against Jack and won pretty quickly with no trouble
I grew up on TLC and always found it to be the best one. It was heavily simplified compared to the sequels (obviously). But. The magic systems and story was just so much better.
They are both fantastic, fable 2 rode the hype perfectly and came out with an improved game in almost every aspect (magic system). I thoroughly enjoyed both all the way through.
If you do a replay, have a go maining an spell caster/archery build. scorms bow, multi arrow and slow time is a broken combo
I started playing when lost chapters came out and thought 2 & 3 progressively lost the charm that made me really enjoy the game.
I just want them to back to the Fable 1 style and just expand upon that and make it better. No modern weapons! Stick to magic and fantasy. 😁
100% agreed. It was like with 2 and 3 they just kept taking away everything that made fable a great rpg. 2 and 3 are so different and worse imo than 1 they may as well be 2 separate game franchises
Deffs the best my fave game ever !
Some things could of been improved but I love it !!!
I really hope fable 4 is similar to 1 🙏
Fable 1 is by far the best.. to me… I don’t understand how you can play them backwards but I respect you regardless…. I mean you sully yourself
you can drink a Potion of X when you have such a large multiplier to gain massive amounts of XP
The base game, though I still like it more than 2 and 3, felt very unfinished without the dlc. I never got to play the lost chapters as a kid so when anniversary came out and I got the itch, fable 1 with its dlc is THE definitive fable
Fable 2 improves upon the original Fable in a lot of ways, but the invisible walls were a turn off. The game needs an anniversary treatment.
Fable 3 felt too linear, and I despised how broken the interactions were with NPCs. At the very least though, they improved upon the income system. This game wasn’t as bad as Angry Joe made it out to be though back in the day, even if the sanctuary was a step-back.
While i still enjoyed fable 1, its still forever plagued in my mind. I pre ordered and got fable day 1, i remember rushing home from school and getting my dad to take me to gamestop to get my copy. I 100% it in one sitting in 9 hours. I had fun, but was highly dissapponted. I was 14 or 15, and wasnt used to the game industry over hyping games yet, and was my first introduction to Peter Molyneux (though i had already played black and white, and loved it, i never heard of peter yet)
Peter Molyneux said so many lies about this game, i dont remember exactly, but it was like sean murray from no mans sky but worse (at least from what i remember, it was a long time ago) peter made this sound like the everything game, go and do whatever you want, play forever, huge world, great character development, the best rpg ever. When i 100% it in one sitting, i felt so angry and lied to. The game was a series of narrow hallways, very light rpg elemts, basic story, very little to no freedom. Fable 1 was the first and last fable i played. Peter Molyneux was one of the worst video game shills, i never believed anything he said again. And then i remember him showing off this lame milo kid thing for the xbox kinetic years later, and knew everything he showed fornit was just a lie, and nothing ever came from it lol. He did make black and white though, and i really loved that game.
no video on youtube has a complete playthrough .they never show the moral choices mini games that play as loading screens if i recall. was looking for all these for a art project. but cant find any online.
I like your videos bro.
I've subbed for the cracking slang
You can absolutely become the landlord of the whole of Albion.... you just need to take out all of the people in a town
Idk if you correct this later in the video but you said you can only buy designated places but if you kill everyone you can buy their buildings then theyll respawn later to pay rent and run the shops again
Dude i completely forgot about fable.... Man the last years must have been rough for me otherwise one wouldnt forget about fable
Love this game this was one on my buddy’s xbox that I decided to play while he was on his new ps3 playing oblivion had never picked it up due to its cheesy looking animation style. I was immediately hooked and have been a fable fan since!
Yes. Yes it is.
I nuked the absolute crap out of the economy in Bowerstone North by buying all of the gems ec m and then selling all but one of each. By buying them all, I created a shortage which meant the merchant would buy them at an increased rate from me so that he could replenish his stock. Because he bought them so, he ended up with a surplus so he began selling them at a discounted rate. I just kept repeating this process over and over again and (albeit slowly) started raking in the gold
First time I ever played Fable 1 on original Xbox I only !levelled up strength, then got owned by Maze later on so started over and leaned heavily into spells.
I also find Arseface to be my favourite title
got original copies of 1 and 2 gotta say the anniversary addition is good but can't help feel the original 1 and 2 just had way more atmosphere maybe because I'm older but those original games just hit the spot
you can actually kill everyone in most towns by using follow to take them outside town and kill them or sacrafice to scorn. do that for everyone in the game and get yourself the bow of skorn and a bunch of avalible housing to buy and rent
"A cross between a witcher and a jedi" a wedji? Like a wedgie.
You can’t break the economy with pies, but you can obliterate it with apples. You can do this by having more than one apple at least, select to sell and click something else while the sell amount icon is there to sell a more valuable item at an amount equal to your apples regardless of the amount of valuable item
I'm surprised 2 was so well loved it missed the mark quite a bit for me, though 3 did it even more and was just...insulting? Not sure what makes you think the original cannot have the economy crashed as bad as the other Fables it's just as easy there as the others and that's without including the new bugs Anniversary added to further break it. (Wedding Rings are FAR more game breaking in anniversary than in original Fable/TLC) xD
Though for me it goes even to the point I prefer the original PC release of TLC over anniversary and that's thanks to the extra bugs that are unique to it which further break the game. Which tbf Fable is meant to be a HUGE power trip and it doesn't hide that fact especially on the game's fat case on PC, Xbox it's more subtle interestingly. The "humor" from 2 and 3 was so forced compared to 1 which was kinda sad since I was looking forward to it until actually playing and it just being...not as good. Fable 1 is still going to be my favorite but I will give it specifically to the ORIGINAL version of TLC, NOT anniversary. I bought anni when it came out super hype for the remake but then the game cracked too much at the seams for me. Enough that I bought a new copy of the original release almost immediately after closing it. The remaster just looked too ugly and I'll play games with ASCII "graphics" so it's not like I'm a graphics snob, that and minor alterations were just weird...like altering Jack's mask...it's mirrored for some reason. There are a LOT of problems with the Fable 2/3 controls for Anni too, but I also played the original when it came out for PC so I never touched that setting. Fable 1 also made magic so broken there eventually was no point to do the whole hack-and-slash too. Not that I minded since the spells were great in the game. Fable 2 and 3 have some of the worst and least rewarding magic systems I've played in a video game period. Fable 2's ranged combat breaks the game and has some "subte" humor with it tracking things like groin shots. xD
Something to also note, the later Fable's have extra chicken shenanigans with the intros of Fable 2 and 3. Also you CAN buy all of Albion pretty much in Fable 1 the whole you can only buy designated homes, no that's not at all true you just kill the owner and they let you buy it ._. Sponsoring a break for the guards also doesn't do nothing they ignore your crimes for a bit if you do that which is handy if you want to steal a bunch of stuff. There are also MUCH better exploits for EXP by the way LMAO A bow also helps a LOT more than spells for that first Jack boss fight :P
Did they change something in Annivesary about the real estate market? I remember slaughtering Oakvale(again) to be able to buy all the housings and even devising some absurd plans like aggroing and kiting bowerstone guards to have them kill home owners for me 😅
Its really a shame they didint do a Fable 2 anniversary edition. That game was just a lot of fun to play, even if the combat wasnt as challenging. Fable 1 and 2 are amazing.
I’ve been waiting for this video
