"Fable..."

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.....

What difference would that make to all the beardy nonsense that litters the game?

I just find the whole set-up stupidly boring and unintresting. Even if I did have a level 1000 wizard with level 6000 ork armour and the wand of beardy beardson, it wouldn't change the fact that the combat system sucks and the world is about as intresting as the back of a Bran Flakes carton.

Just my opinion though.

Hahahahaha.

Sorry.

I love Morrowind - played it for hoouurrss

End.

Should've made a better character.

I gave my guy invisibility and some decent magical protection to start off with. Then I gradually wore my enemies down to start with, running off inviisble if I got too wounded, sometimes I'd just nick their stuff and then there was healing myself with the ring of healing I'd nicked early on etc.

No honour among thieves *Backstab*

Then my character got better and I started killing head honchos, guards and just about anyone who looked down on my character.

Now I'm branching out into spells, thievery etc.

Great stuff.

Maybe 4 hours, not once in that time did I enjoy myself.

Incredibly dull and uninteresting?

Exactly how long did you play it for?

It wasn't just the fact that you couldn't kill rats with a giantic axe. It was the fact that it was incredibly dull and unintresting.

Talk to people in the game and you're presented with an essay about raganoths magical beard, or voldeberts enchanted codpiece. It was all just so dull and unintresting, I'd sooner cut my wrists than subject myself to that dullness again.

But it was much more intelligently done than Zelda. A dumbeddown RPG for those who play platformers. Luckily it had the 'autojump' otherwise I'd never have bough it.

Fable's also very dumbed down, but then again most of you whine about Morrowind because you got killed by a rat early on. What a great representation of a game, I think not.

Morrowind > Deus Ex > Gladius > OOT > Fable

No doubt Pirates of the Carribean fits in there somewhere to but I haven't played it yet.

But then I don't like being railroaded through an RPG.
