"Official Fable Thread"

Not quite sure why mine is more Official than any other, but there you go.

I reall like the look of this game. I really want to like the actual game, but I'm worried.

I really wanted to like Morrowind, but I didn't have 50+ hours to put into it before I could just about manage to kill a rat. Is the same thing likely to happen here?

I'm much more of a "half an hour here and there" type gamer, rather than a "6 hours straight? That's nothing!" type.

Also, talk amongst yourselves about Fable, it's out 2 months before Halo 2 anyway...


EDIT:

As this thread gets longer it'll be more difficult to find the links I've put in, so I'll add them in here too:

TeamXbox and Xbox IGN are apparently putting the first reviews up at 10am PST today (Friday 27th), which seems to be 6pm UK time.

Well i finished it in 7 hours with a few outstanding quests left. I know there was loads more to do but i just wanted to do the main story because it was so gripping. Very dissapointed that it ended so quickly. Getting bored of destroying towns now. Might start again and take a different angle. Cant see it being much fun though, seen as i know whats going to happen.

10 hours in and I'm doing a job for lady grey... Can't find it, however... tips?

Just got it today, very late by everybody else's standards, but I'm not complaining. Just played the beginning, up until the bandit attack on Oakvale - scary stuff and most impressive.

I've beaten the main quest of the game with my evil character now, but I'm still having a laugh with both of my characters, so the appeal definatly hasn't worn off.

Plus its always tempting to start another character and use different approaches to the game. If a game is really long, thats where this kinda thing doesn't appeal so much. RPGs like Final Fantasy, I tend to only play through once. Once you've seen all the story, theres little incentive to go back. Morrowind lasts ages, but its getting the motivation to go through all the trouble of levelling up through the early stages again that can put people off.

Fable allows you to spend ages playing the same character if you want to, but avoids the more grating parts of RPGs like running around the same bit of countryside for several hours, trying to make your character(s) stronger for the next part of the game.

It can be finished in around 4 hours if you know where you're going and you rush through.

Most of the reports I've seen say about 20 hours, not rushing too much. Except Tilt obviously, who has now racked up over 30 hours in the haystacks with random wenches.

its quick if you just rush it, but a game like this why would you want to rush it?

Depends how you play it.

I'm on 31 hours and have got tons of stuff to do still. Though people have reported that they've completed it in 9 hours and low figures like that.

So has anyone finished it yet? Is it as short as they say?
