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.....

I love being blind and overlooking all of Fable's flaws. It's so enjoyable.

Now I know what it feels like to be a Halo 'fan'.

That's just you.

What would you advise doing after you've completed it with a good guy then?

EDIT: It's nothing more than a 7/10 game.

Anyone want to buy this cracking game?

fable may not have been all these things you expected but it is amazing and i too completed it in a week but have now started a new file but being evil.
I would not advise being evil if you have just been a good guy as it makes you feel bad about yourself, yes it really is that involving.

No, he did the side quests.... he just chose to be a really average character to start off with.

Yeah, think so.

I've sacrificed a shedload of people to Scorn and not much as happened so far other than the guy saying I need to try harder.
