   When I first stared the game (Anniversary) I was a bit estranged by the new artistic look. With the more Polygons the characters look strange, not as I used to know them. At first I didn't like it because it was different, but then, after a hour or so, I found it quite beautiful. It is really like Fable was meant to be released 12 years later. The game itself is the same as it was back then (with the TLC addon) and the DLC connent fits right in it.
   I like that you can choose between two different controller mappings and mouse and keyboard. For me I like the Fable 1 mapping best.
   After completing the game I only found a very few bugs. Sometimes the lip sync is off, I had to restart the game once because the time was not changing anymore and at one time the game crashed during a save (not that big of a deal because autosave had saved right before that)
   
   TL;DR
   Fable is the same genius game it was back then with graphics from today.
   I give one point less of the perfect score because the fights didn't make that much fun anymore (they are still lot of fun) because the feel kind of old and the KI is sometimes acting very dumb (especially your companies or summons creatures).… Expand

   This has to be a joke. Someone please tell me the developers are playing a seriously out of date April Fool's prank on PC gamers? While theThis has to be a joke. Someone please tell me the developers are playing a seriously out of date April Fool's prank on PC gamers? While the game LOOKS beautiful with the updated graphics they took a PC game with proper PC controls, ported it to a console control interface and then ported it right back to PC with a hideous console port controls setup. Seriously? No mouse support for menus? A, B, W, A, S, D, Tab, Insert, Home and End keys to navigate the game with no remapping allowed? WTH?
   
   To top it off, this is the official developer's response when questioned about the lack of proper keyboard and mouse support:
   
   Oman [developer] 7 hours ago
   We would have loved to add mouse support to the menu but we reached a point in the project where it was either going to be modding support or adding features such as mouse support in the menus. We chose modding.
   
   They apparently consider an appropriate PC UI to be a "feature" and not a necessity. This would have gotten at least an 8 or 9 because it does have much better graphics but they apparently have no clue about what is needed for a PC interface for a game. Stay away from this and stick with the original if you want proper controls. Should they fix the controls scheme I am willing to re-review this game. As it stands, the controls scheme and lack of remapping is intolerable for a PC game.… Expand

   So where do I start with this. This is a console to pc port it's not as bad as dark souls but its close. You can edit the controls for theSo where do I start with this. This is a console to pc port it's not as bad as dark souls but its close. You can edit the controls for the game once you get in it but the navigation of menus require u to use the arrow keys. Also the old TLC menu is gone and it replaced with a menu that is meant for a console they make you use keys that are all over the key board in order to navigate. I shouldn't have to press "Home, End, Page Up or Down" in order to view my quests. A Dark Souls port should not have been the goal here. I can even tell you a fix for the menu set Q and E to be section switches and have A and D change tabs. Or even better let us use the stupid mouse like really this is a PC game why can’t I use a mouse in the menus.
   The most annoying thing which needs to be patched NOW I'm surprised no one has complained about this. I can see that everything has higher detail the problem is the game literally has a film or haze over it. This film is both in the menus and the game. The graphics are maxed out so what is this film I'm seeing I spent hours messing with the settings it won't go away. I'm sure it's for depth on a widescreen TV. But I have a gaming rig and the screen is in my face I instantly notice haze and I know it wasn't in the first fable. It's so bad that I can't see any new real detail besides the game appearing to have more saturation. Honestly I thought to my self the whole time I was playing I should just load up TLC and play that.
   This game needs a huge menu overhaul and that Haze needs to be disabled. Unless you have a controller hooked up to your PC and don’t mind the haze wait till all of this gets patched otherwise you’re in for a huge disappointment.… Expand

   No control customisation available, menu navigation suck (REALLY substandard for a decade old remake), dont try playing that crap with a mouseNo control customisation available, menu navigation suck (REALLY substandard for a decade old remake), dont try playing that crap with a mouse ... In the end, give it a pass and give your money to a game company that deserve it (Microsoft you suck even more for not being able to even put in a freaking mouse configuration menu or a mouse cursor for menu navigation.)… Expand

   I have no idea what drugs or nostalgia hype are people on Steam doing, but this game is trash. The controls and the menu alone are braindeadI have no idea what drugs or nostalgia hype are people on Steam doing, but this game is trash. The controls and the menu alone are braindead console-like, even tho old "bad" version had mouse controls for the menu and everything. It's just horrible, if you are playing this on consoles MAYBE it's decent?
   The faces of most characters especially your own character look like that one episode Dexter remade his face into some "good looking" teen magazine dude for school photos. I have no idea how anyone working on this game said "that looks ok", you're better off playing the original, anyone saying otherwise is a moron or lying or has never played this.… Expand
