Do you help a mother with her sick child? If so, you’ll earn the respect and love of the townspeople. You’re faced with key decisions along the way-do you steal from people? If so, you’ll develop a reputation as a thief. You’re cast into a reluctant student at an academy where you learn the art and trade of becoming a hero. The plot, in a nutshell, is that you’re a young lad who has been spared from his village’s destruction at the hands of brigands. Fable is no different in that regard: In this RPG, the choices you make directly affect your character. Molyneux’s games often deal with the balance between good and evil, and the choices that we make that take us down one path or the other.
It’s a fun action/role-playing game romp, though it is showing its age.įable was originally developed for the Xbox and PC by Lionhead Entertainment, home of famed game designer Peter Molyneux, the brains behind legendary “god games” like Populous and Black and White, as well as previous Feral releases like The Movies ( ). Even still, Feral Interactive took too long to get Fable: The Lost Chapters out on the Mac-they first announced it in mid-2005. Software development can be unpredictable it’s as much art as it is science, which is why release dates are so often missed in this business.
