Nice graphics, nice setting, easy combat, lots of farmer accents.

So far I like, it all feels very Terry Pratchet/Harry potter. Mainly because of the accents, still cool game so far.

I got my guy an oriental moustache and everyone keeps calling him ugly. I swear the next person to laugh at him is gonna get my katana sword up their jacksey. Everyone keeps calling me Chicken Chaser for some reason, probably because I keep punting them around everywhere.

I've tried to hold back on killing people for no real reason so far, god knows I came close to killing one guy though as he just wouldn't shut up about fishing. Instead I farted at him and stole his bed for the night, tried flirting with him also but he just laughed at me.

The world's a lot bigger than I expected, haven't actually come across any villages yet as I've been mainly kicking bandits asses in the woods.

Still, I like so far.

Just over 6 hours in now.

Had scars allover, now have chainmail + a new sword.

This game gets MUCH BETTER further on. There's a situation later which provides some great battles later on, you'll be familiar with it from other RPG's but it's MUCH better realised and implemented in Fable.

I finally had to upgrade my health and double the bar as the game's difficulty suddenly leapt up and doubled. Still on my original toughness though which means if an arrow gets through my armour it bloody hurts!

I'm now known as Deathbringer and I am now famous across the land.

The Merchants have known of my true nature for a while now, I think it's time I conquered a few villages too. *Evil laugh* *Cocky stance* *Middle finger*

There's a lot more I could say about how great this game gets but obviously my lips are sealed.

Lady Grey's aren't however. ;)

Yes, this thread has somewhat convinced me.

I like to play these games through mimicking certain characters or character types. For example, my character in Morrowind is a cross between Gandalf and a Jedi. Gives things a new slant.

It'd be pretty damn cool to do a character based on Aragorn in this, as if playing through his Ranger days.

Had loads of shags and presents from the wife and I've clocked up 10 hours. :-) Jus started renting a property out for some cash. Lady Grey got all flirty and stuff, but I'm not following the same idea that just about everyone else seems to.

Plus shes a materialistic, snot nosed cow too. I'll stick with my tavern girl. ;-)

I'm a "Creepy" (sorry) "Assassin" "Thief" :^)


I just sneak around evilly, slipping into peoples homes and running around in circles as the police come to nab me. :D


EDIT: Any idea where the tattoo-ists are?

Got this today but I haven't really gotten too far into it yet to make a decent opinion. I've just left the Hero guild, so I'm just trying to figure everything out just now. Not sure whether to be a goody or a baddy yet.

Although I have to say, the accents are brilliant. Everyone keeps asking if I chase chickens though, while it is amusing, one of these villagers is gonna get a smack eventually.
