I know it's a RPG but thats about it, is it similar to any others? is it a big game? i know that 'lost chapters' is going to have more content but just wondering how much play you got out of the game.
But I will place my piece.
Fable is rubbish, seriously, it's more of a novelty then a game. The fights are simple and the gameplay is frustrating. The only relativly decent thing about it is the graphics.
Once you've kicked your tenth chicken and talked to people throughout the town, the novelty wears off and you are left with a pretty average title.
The worst thing about it, in my opinion, was the fact that everything is on a fixed path, you walk out of a town and the only way of getting to the next one is to follow the path and fight a few bugs on the way.
Morrowind ftw.
I loved the 'vulgar thrust' move you could do in front of everyone. Ha, that was funny :D
The sheer wealth of things to see and do in the game-world during or after you've finished the main quest is impressive.
It's easy just to rush through Fable, but if you take your time you'll definitely enjoy it more.
> OMG i considered KOTOR 2 as a short game compared to most RPGS it was
> only about 7 hours long, fable must be tiny.
WHAAAT?
It took me around 30 hours! Goodness me, you must have skipped all the speech!
Yeah Fable is around 9 hours-ish, my mate finished it in one day. I was shocked, and therefore did not buy it. Plus, it has no puzzles, and I must have puzzles in my RPG's.
As per usual with Molyneaux games, it promised much and initially was entertaining. But after a couple of hours, you've seen everything it's got to offer and it's simply repeating itself in different areas.
Much like Black & White.
RPG-wise it's an extremely lite attempt, and nothing really affects the gameplay outside of the aesthetic angle. Be good or evil, whatever - you'll still have the same quests and tasks to perform with the exception of a couple of annoying locked doors that require you to achieve a thankless task for a pair of trousers or some shoes.
Knights of Old Republic 2 is a much better RPG in that it's very long, the storyline is fantastic and it's good fun to play.
Then you finish the story in 5 minutes and sell it.
There, that was far more refined than my usual tirade.
