Is;
- Beautiful
- Clever
- Funny
- Disappointing
- RPG-Lite (Not a good thing)
- Intuitive - combat/magic is great
- Again, beautiful
- Good in some of its quests - boasts are good
Isn't;
- Engrossing AT ALL
- as fun as you all said it was
- Awful
- Seamless
- Brilliant
- great-in-it's-social-interactions-which was-the-main-thing-everybody-appeared-to-love
It's good in bits, rubbish in others. Looks/sounds/feels great. Social interactions suck - you tap some buttons until someone likes/hates you, and then run away to some new place - there's simply nothing to do of any real importance - sure you can say 'get drunk and listen to people laugh' etc, then 'go kill monsters while drunk' - doesn't make the game any more interesting.
Good, but nothing, nothing to what it was supposed to be - and that's not just in the missing features, it's also in the simple fact it's just not as good as it should be....
Anyone wanna buy? O, and Riddick too, which was also good, but I didn't love it much either.....

No you look past its faults, the missing features, the general emptyness...and there's nothing worth playing there.
I like Morrowind. I LOVE Zelda.
Consequently, I like both types of games, and Fable just doens't cut it either way.

Actually it was fairly adequate. Only you seemed to miss the sarcasm.

Ah yes, because you think crappy games are good, you're hardcore!!111
OOT's a classic. If you can't see that, meh, I don't care. Just don't harp on about Gladius and Blood Rayne and crap like that being better, because I don't think anyone can truly believe that.

OOT's a classic. If you can't see that, meh, I don't care. Just don't harp on about Gladius and Blood Rayne and crap like that being better, because I don't think anyone can truly believe that.

Whats a 'geek'?
It's an excellent game, it's justa lot of geeks expected it to be "dA BEST GAM EVA".
If you can look past the faults it's got, theirs a hell of a lot of fun to be had. But then, if you enjoyed Morrowind so much I should think it would be a bit too RPG light for you.

You know, I'm really curious as to what Fable is like.
Thing is, I'm not going to get it because I've heard it slated sooo much. Especially by the sort of games player who really enjoyed Morrowind. Which is exactly my sort of RPG.
As far as fable is concerned, I will say this: Any game who's official forum is subject to so many complaints of dissapointment that they need a decicated 'troll' forum, is clearly not a great game.
