Fable Anniversary

Did my first playthrough (I have no ties to the nostalgia of the game), and I can say that the game is worth putting time into. The visuals obviously show their age, but there is a clunky charm to it. The fighting mechanics are equally as clunky and basic, so it was pretty easy to beat the game. The magic and potion options were really the meat and potatoes for me personally during my journey. The main part of the game had layers of character substance and lots of opportunities to bring more life to the experience! You can buy/rent out properties, have relationships, deal with family dynamics, choose outfits/accessories, weapons, and ultimately choose your "destiny". There are lots of other games that have those options and more now-a-days with better graphics, but during Fable's prime... I can see how it exploded with popularly for future game inspirations. If you like a good story, then this game is for you!

I have Fable III on Xbox 360 and played that game through several times and enjoyed the hell out of it. When I heard they were remaking Fable as Fable Anniversary on PC I figured this would be great as it's highly rated. I must be the one off, because so far I really hate this game. First off no matter what I do I can't seem to get the game to actually recognize that I want to play the Heroic difficulty even though that's what I always select. Supposedly the first two slots are slaved to “Chicken Chaser” and you have to pick the third slot. Seriously WTF?!! In addition the camera angles when running around coupled with the blur and how the game is rendered gives me motion sickness, and I’m not prone to that. I went through and did all of the suggestions in the .ini files to alleviate this and it did help, but I can only play this game for so long before feeling like I’m about to puke my guts out. I have never in my entire life of almost 50 years ever encountered any other video game where I’ve had this reaction. The UI is not intuitive and I still haven’t figured out how to sell my crappy gear to the shopkeeper in the Hero’s Guild since I got upgraded versions for getting A+ in the tests. I have read certain shopkeepers only buy certain items, no idea if this case with this shopkeeper or if it is a user issue, but either way it sucks. Fable III is a great game that I very much enjoy, this steaming pile of a turd doesn’t translate well to PC and is garbage IMHO.

Despite being far newer than the original, this was poorly made. Many ordinary options are missing in the settings, basic aspects of the visuals are ugly, and camera angles during cinematic conversations are often wrong. This was severely disappointing after admiring the original version for so long. I was correct to not care about this lousy remake, before.

muito bom

Pretty big fan of the Fable series, but had never played the first one, such good games, and this PC port is really well done. I just love how the game doesn't try to be serious but isn't too edgy either, it's perfectly balanced in that aspect, the story is really engaging so much so that I finished the game in two seatings lol. I just wish they could bring back 2 and 3 on steam, with the reboot on the way it could make new players discover what Fable is :) p.s. If you have a widescreen monitor do consider using Flawless Widescreen, except of course if you like big black bars on the sides ;)
