What's the best Fable game?

[Anonymous No.9517427]

Also, do they hold up? Looks like Zelda with fun decision making in exchange for dungeons. Is the way characters are written and behave very campy or not tho? That's usually my gripe with western action adventures. Hard to care about people and RPG mechanics when they're all goofballs

[Anonymous No.9517434]

Fable TLC is the best of them. Characters are pretty goofy but the game's atmosphere make it easy to get immersed. The games are too easy and short though. I'd recommend Fable TLC though.

They have their own unique aura about them. They have a lot of issues, but would recommend (only played 1 and 2). Also combat is terrible. Anniversary edition look like shit, but haven't played it myself.

The first game as others have said, is the best one. Just never use magic EVER. Its way too under powered.

I like the scarring "mechanic" that makes you ugly and NPC would constantly remind me of that. Pretty neat and I don't know any other game where battle wounds have an impact on how people treat you.

1>TLC>2>3

TLC adds a lot of content that blatantly stands in contrasts of the creator's original artistic vision. It feels more like a fan-made mod.

The brothel side quest is so engrained into my memory I can believe it's not in the base game. I say TLC is a must just for that one lol.

[Anonymous No.9519159]

Why do people hate anniversary? I've never played it. Let me guess, ruined the original art style and introduced new bugs in exchange for three extra pixels and some microtransactions?

Yup, there you go. Props to them for adding hero costumes and weapons though. It's so graphically dated now, that the OG doesn't even graphically look worse in a meaningful way anymore.

[Anonymous No.9519295]

>>9519137
No, there are additional side quests peppered throughout the base game aswell — and they changed Jack of Blades' voice for the worse. The additional quests have a certain humour to them that feels much less dry – as if they're trying too hard – compared to the original; I'm not going to write an essay on it, you can judge for yourself by playing both games.

[Anonymous No.9519297]

>>9519132
Like what, the epilogue? Most of the stuff was cut or unfinished and fits in with the main game pretty well, although some of the side quests are forgettable. Fleshing out the lady grey storyline was pretty big, it felt super half baked and unfinished in the original.

[Anonymous No.9519303]

>>9519297
Like I said above, the additional writing is noticeably distinct in its theming. I'd rather have a cohesively themed experience – even if half-baked – compared to what we got in TLC.

[Anonymous No.9519349]

>>9519303
You're making a big deal out of this. It's not like original is a master piece, and there are good additions. TLC is better overall.

Fable 1 and 2 perfectly capture the European fairy tale atmosphere. Fable 3 is still the worst game I have ever played.

It's a lot like halo anniversary, which released around the same time. Better in a lot of ways, but they should've left the visuals alone, or been more conservative with changes. It should be the definitive way to play the game, but you could argue it isn't. At least they didn't fuck with the music

Fable is one of those franchises that wasn't liked much on release but zoomer nostalgia rewrote history into it being a classic. Very much The Legend of Dragoon of its generation.

[Anonymous No.9522418]

The worst idea was leaving the era of the old kingdom behind and opt for industrialised/medieval England.

[Anonymous No.9522504]

Fable is a terrible series. the first game wants to be Gothic and instead plays like a down syndrome Ocarina of Time. everything in the game is painfully incohesive. high fantasy adventure? no, fuck you, here's a sassy female POC in the first 10 minutes. good combat? no, fuck you, here's a beat 'em up where you knock enemies around like rag dolls for 20 hits until they die in a ridiculously unsatisfying way and then you absorb their exp manually. but what about exploration? nope, fuck you. the entire world is a series of narrow, linear paths with absolutely nothing interesting to find outside of vaguely homosexual anthropomorphic doors that force you to complete some mundane task to see what's behind them. but of course, dealing with bullshit retarded mechanics is part of any RPG -- you're there for the depth, right? nope. fuck, you. there's no depth. armor is meaningless, weapons have no interesting modifiers beyond the genre standards, the game keeps track of dozens of pointless statistics (including your character's sexuality, to make sure you won't feel marginalized if you're a faggot; a.k.a. the target demographic), the spells are milquetoast fireball garbage, the quests are tantamount to jogging simulators, the minigames are insultingly simplistic (e.g. the 'fishing' which involves walking over to a pre-defined spot and pressing a button and waiting for something to happen), and at no point is there any allocation of stats or skill points with any meaningful impact on your character's growth that can't be changed or reverted... and the sad part is, this is the best game in the series. Fable 2 is more of the same except with a depressing Pirates of the Carribean setting and even fewer RPG elements (except for more homosexuality stats, like contracting herpes from fucking a gay man in the ass in your house), and Fable 3 is once again more of the same, except this time you can grow wings to fully realize the fairy you are. fuck Fable and fuck you.

Why can't High Fantasy include people with skin tones darker than yours, fucko? None of the Fable games are without their flaws, sure, but the one with the worst issues is definitely 3 where they stopped caring about the setting.
