    For those who liked final fantasy this is the most comparacing to it; for me it's even better because you can draw your destin as you were in real life. Also the items, magics and all that are the best. The only less good thing is that the graphics could be better. But they're above the normal.

    This is an amazing game- although it is a little shorter than some other rpgs it more that makes up for it with the costomizability, and choices that other RPGs wouldent even think of giving you.

    This game is hands down one of the best action adveturs that i have seen in a long time. Fable brings character customization to an all new level. There are no other games like it on the market. Its a must have for all xbox fans!

    I love this game! What I have found in other games where you can be good or evil, I have found being good to be boring and unrewarding. However, in this game, I actually find being good fun. Also, it is very hard to remember all the things I am supposed to be doing. And I mean that in this best possible way. Once again, I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!

    This game is one of the best I've ever played. I've been playing it since it came to PC, and I have to say I enjoyed it even more than it's Xbox 360 sequel. The game is thrilling and open, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a great time!

    This game is an absolute master piece compared to the other 2. I loved this game, the date i was set in and the story was enough for me. This game has a very large world with many great secrets to be discovered. The story and gameplay is what separates this from so many other games of its type. Obvious buy you will not be disappointed.

    I must have completed this game 30 times yet I still am not bored.
    Best of all fable games you just go in their with your beastly plate mail armour and mash up the enemy,s
    I recommend this game to any gamer i also have this game on Xbox but I would go for the pc one because of the sharper images and higher graphics capability.

I have played all the Fables, and the first is still by far the best. If you haven't played it and are skeptical on buying it, I highly recommend this game.… Expand

The combat system is probably one of the best I've ever seen (I have no idea why some reviewers say otherwise), the story is neat without being overwhelming or boring, the choices that you make are quite satisfying and determine several factors further down the road as to what equipment/armor you will use and what story lines you unlock. Yes, the end result is ultimately the same, but I love that Fable didn't try to overextend itself and force several main story lines. It stuck to what it was able to accomplish, unlike so many other games these days are able to do. If you are at all a fan of RPGs or any other type of real-time game, you will absolutely love Fable: The Lost Chapters. I have played this game since the original was released on the Xbox years ago and I still love it to death. No, it is not as deep, complex, or involved as other modern-day RPGs, but that's what I love about it. My only wish is for a higher difficulty setting as the game is just a tad bit too easy, but otherwise this is the most incredible game I have ever played.....Kudos to Lionhead. I only wish they had continued the spectacular design into Fable II and III which are certainly two of the worst RPGs of all time. I can't possibly give this game any less than a 10/10.… Expand

This game is worth it and for only 2.49 on steam you have to get it. Also Fable 2 and 3 were also great game, (more of 2 then 3), but no game that I have every had has been as good of this game...

    Fable TLC is one of my favorite games of all time! It has a nice storyline and good gameplay that's even better than Fable 2 on the Xbox 360. The downside is that once the game ends you won't feel like playing that much anymore because there's no exciting quests left. But this is a recommended game if your looking for an adventure!

    Fable defined the moral choice system in modern video games. The in-game choices all led to the same end, but the game was about HOW you got there, lending it some ability to tell you about how you think of the world.

The path to ultimate victory can be littered with the corpses of old allies, the remains of tortured souls, or it can be littered with whatever poor chumps were nearest to hand, it really is up to you. When you are old and withered, you can ignore the masses who scorn you, or you can scorn them in turn and devote your hero to Skorm to reclaim your youth. The demon doors have mutually-exclusive requirements, and while they can be met by more than one criteria in many cases, they still need you to replay at least once to open them all. All in all, The Lost Chapters is a massive success, and plays well to this day on any console. Just don't pick up any of the sequels.… Expand

    Simply put, the best game I've ever played. This game may have not given me 500 hours of gameplay, but the 50 hours I played it through my childhood and adolescence have been the best gaming moments that I will never forget. This is how you make a video game, is exciting, interesting, fun, and just touches your soul.

The combat system is pretty simple,but it's easy to learn and fun to use. It's not very balanced. Some things are better than the others. There's a character progression your character changes as it ages. When you increase specific stats, your character appearance changes as well. There's good variety of special weapons,than are unique on their own right. Also there's karma system,which changes on how you preform on your side quests or story missions, if characters goes towards good side it gets a halo,if it goes towards the dark side it gets horns. Also you get tittles which are based on your actions,you can chose variety of them. You can marry (sort of) and there's a lot of other side content which is really important. Overall this game is not really that long,it probably took me a little bit over 35 hours to 100% ,but the whole package is amazing. Story is simple but interesting and easy to follow,combat is simplistic but there's a lot of skills and decent variety of unique weapons. Side content is amazing,there's a lot of extra stuff to do. There's a lot of choices that you can make. Overall it's one my favorite games of all time, I'm probably overlooking a lot of issues that this game has,but the memories from childhood were so amazing,that I just can't get it out of my head. I replayed it in my later years,and it still holds up quite nicely.… Expand

Gameplay is very solid and feels very good, RPG elements are very balanced with the gameplay; you could beat the whole game without ever leveling up your skills if you really chose to do so, though it would be extremely hard, but if you are picking this up for anything but the gameplay, there are better examples of aciton/RPG's out there nowadays.    … Expand

    Story: In terms of story, Fable isn't that amazing. It has a solid and engaging one, and some of the characters do stick with you, but ultimately what sets Fable appart from other games is its unique and wonderful sense of humor and charm. It's such a weird game sometimes with its jokes and inside jokes (such as certain expressions or descriptions, and even side quests) and it's all the better for it. Jack of Blades is an interesting villain, though he has way too little backstory overall, and there some very interesting characters (Maze, Scythe to name a few) but it's a serviceable story more than anything. The game also feels very rushed and, even though I tried to do everything in-between main quests, it always felt like I was getting to the big moments way too fast with no breathing room, while at the same time it managed to drag in some sections (like the Bargate Prison section). However it's Fable's interesting world and lore that do stand out and make you want to explore every nook and cranny of the world.
    Gameplay: Fable isn't that outstanding in its gameplay department neither, but it does have satisfying combat and some really cool spells. I do, however, feel that most of the spells are unnecesary as I beat the game using basically two (Berserk and Healing), but for whoever feels inclined to play the game as a mage, they will have plenty to choose from. One huge setback for me was the difficulty. It's painfully easy (except at the very beginning) and towards the half point of the main story I already had the best gear in the game which made me feel really discouraged to continue playing. Also the sidequests really dry-out in the second half of the game, there's not really a lot going on outside of the main quest, which is a shame considering that in the first half there were one or two side-quests for every main quest. It took me around 20 hours to complete the game and all of its sidequests (demon doors, silver chests, fighting club, side missions, etc), which is a decent amount of content, though you'd expect more from an RPG.
    Graphics: It is a good looking game, neither brilliant nor bad. It holds up pretty well, in spite of some very repeated characters models and animations. Also the facial animations are not that good though they are good enough. The regions are very diverse and interesting, though they are somewhat small and in between a lot of loading screens.
    Music and Sound: The music in this game is outstanding. It really transports you into the fantasy land that is Albion and really helps give character to all of the diferent regions, each with its own music. It truly is superb. In terms of sound, the voice acting is pretty good overall, sometimes a bit cheesy though it really fits with the tone of the game; the enviromental and creature sounds are fine.
    Overall I think Fable: The Lost Chapters is a fantastic game. The charm and character that this game has is so unique and every time I started it I felt like I was transported into another world. Maybe the individual pillars that make this game are not that outstanding, but when put together into a whole package, Fable: The Lost Chapters makes for a memorable and super enjoyable ride.

    My first encounter with Fable was on the Xbox, before lost chapters was released. Since then I have absolutely fallen in love with Lost Chapters. This is a game that I keep going back to and I have easily racked up 500+ hours in 8 years.

    I love the fantasy play style with bows and swords being the main weapon of choice. This is definitely a game for anyone who is a huge fantasy geek! The three hero disciplines still give way to a huge variety of play through options if you have the patience to achieve what you set out to do. There are a lot of different weapons to play through with as a purist, or you can mix weapons with magic, or just go for pure Will power.

    The world layout was perfect for what was needed, neither over, nor under doing it. Although there were only a few voice actors, the accents from all over Great Britain were very amusing and sometimes charming.

    On the downside, there was a lot missing from Fable:TLC as well. Originally, the dog was supposed to feature in the first title, not the second. This was a last minute removal by Lion Head. There were also promises of plants growing in real time, seasons changing, children and families however, a lot of this was pushed into the second title. Being an old game, there are a few bugs. Tattoos will occasionally turn to green leaves on the skin and the eyes of the hero will turn a lime green giving a fairly eerie look. There are also numerous exploits, such as the Rose Cottage silver key glitch and the ransom victim age glitch. But these just add to the charm of the game, and if they were to be fixed, it would be turned into something new and strange.

    Overall, I love this game and I imagine I will still put in a few more playthrough's before uninstalling. It is a game I will always go back to.

    This game is perfect in almost every way. Great origin story of Theresa the Seer and the also the Hero of Oakvale (who you play as). The gameplay is solid, the interface is very good and comfortable. The quests are fun and I also LOVE the good/bad hero system here. The only thing I dislike is the looks of not only the hero, but also other characters.

    Fable was not what it was promised to be, but turned out to be one of the most passionate games of it's generation - even if the development was headed by a madman.

    I, like everyone else at the time, bought the hype during an era when every big-name AAA game to come out some how pushed the technology or introduced something we hadn't seen before. I, like everyone else at the time, felt bitter and betrayed by just what Fable turned out to be, but soon fell in love with what fable *was* - one of the few games to actual capture the magic of what a mythical story and folklore is.

    Walking an incredibly fine line between silly, serious, dark and light-hearted, Fable carried it's own weight without it's loon of a creator barking promises non-stop and became a game that's still discussed positively a decade later. It didn't pretend to be anything it wasn't and it delivered a compelling story with solid controls and a gripping amount of replayability in the ways you could play it. Over the years I've created and played the game from start to finish using a variety of characters, both evil and good or a mix of both, much to my delight. The Lost Chapters thankfully ditched the limits of the Xbox console (64mb of ram at 200hz, unthinkable these days.) and provided gamers with a more complete version of Fable, one that I would argue rivals if not exceeds Fable 2, an xbox 360 game.

    When Lost Chapters came out, The xbox was already on it's way out (The 360 had already been announced in May) and things like Kotor, Morrowind, Neverwinter Nights, and even games like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars and Everquest, proved to be bigger, better games for the same money Microsoft was asking, leading to reviews citing it as lacking depth or linear.

    Ten years later, history would show Fable 1 and The Lost Chapters as being the best of the Fable franchise, with 2 (360 exclusive) and 3 (online-only) unplayable and unable to be purchased anywhere while Fable 1 "Anniversary Edition" goes on to be a top seller on Steam.    … Expand

Day and night cycles actually changes what every citizen is doing, belonging to the game instead of just being there; the local teacher will go to the tavern at night for a drink.
    Water physics don't seem to be that good, the game tries very hard to not go near water, no swimming, no boat travelling. But it's not felt that much since everything you do on land is so great. Fishing, Archery, Brawling, Tavern games, stealing, owning houses, marrying, fighting random bandits.
    Your character gets older through time, gets scars if you get hit, can get a halo if you are good, horns if you are bad, heterosexual, homosexual.
    Fable could be a masterpiece if not for community backlash and some faults on the story.
    Fable has a very good but common hero's journey with a nice, yet little predictable twist, and when you think it's over you actually got to 80% of the story, and that, not only, saves the story, but makes it a great story, because what seemed predictable actually was just part1, and almost all quests have a moral choice to be made.
    And it feels like that, like the story was made for more than 1 game but the developers decided to forget a possible DLC and make it into the game.    … Expand

I spent a good deal of time with Fable Explorer as well, the only game I've ever really bothered to do any sort of modding with. If it was fun pillaging villages with fireballs and hammers, try shooting 50 bolts of lightning from your hand at once or Berserking till you're taller than most of the buildings in the village.

    Fable is an old and arguably dated game to be playing currently, but even the old graphics, details and sound effects aren't enough to prevent me from playing what I consider may well be the best RPG of all time.

    It seems clear that the most prominent feature of the game is it's morality system; good or evil. Every time you perform a good or evil act, your morality will change. This could span from simply damaging someones property to harming or murdering an innocent. I feel Fable may be what defined morality systems from this point forward, and it's integrity and structure works fantastically. Being an old game, it's not quite as deep as you may feel it should be, but it certainly does it's job well.

    The story itself is pretty decent; your hometown get's raided by bandits, and you are forced to retreat to the Heroes Guild, where you train and hone your skills to become strong enough to seek revenge on those that attacked your family. The story unravels from there, as you travel to different regions (small as they are), and purchase different items, clothing and weapons to aid in your quest. The game is also full of side quests and extra challenges, along with extra "legendary" weapons, which you will find around about the final quarter of the game. There are demon doors, (cryptic challenges that add a little extra depth to the game), an expansive treasure hunt, various competitions, collectibles, and a wide experience system, full of different skills and spells for you to improve and learn.

    The game, overall, covers quite a lot of time (about 10ish hours for the story, excluding the extra collectibles, side missions and contests), and has you making different decisions along the way to shape your destiny.

    Villagers and other friendly NPC's will react to your current appearance and nature, whether you look attractive and kindhearted, or hideous and dark. Interaction with NPC's via expressions allows you to potentially marry, to apologise, or to simply antagonise those around you.

    Overall, it is a very solid game, and some negative features (graphics, small areas, lots of loading screens, weird lip syncing, etc.) must be forgiven in place of it being so old and unique (at least, at the time). This is a must for those that can get over all these negative features, and is what I may well consider one of the best games of all time.    … Expand

    The whole ideas in which the games is based are fantastic. It is however less wonderous than the literature about it suggests.

The very interesting concept of actions having a repercussion on your character is superficially explored. Bad things are black, good things are white, no moral dilemmas in reality, and it's consequences are not that grave. I have rouble with games that give you a divinely rendered world that is filled with the impossible places to go (invisible walls, no jumping over fences, rocks.... well over anything). Story is not very enticing, or, for that matter, interesting. Very common RPG fare and predictable at several spots.
    Graphics and ambiance are very nice. Voice acting is superb and many instances of it quite funny. CHaracter faces have a lot of personality. Many nice details and proto-ideas, but that is all. Unless you devote yourself at just the exploratory side of trying all chance games, getting all tattoes, experimenting with all magics or physical paths, the games is a breeze. Super short. I think I understand why this chapters had been misplaced to begin with, we don't quite get to see them as a real treasure.    … Expand

    The game is great fun but every time I try and spend my experience points it crashes. I have heard that there a quite a few bugs in the game that causes crashes. Things to do with video cards, sound cards, themes (mainly from people who use Windows Blinds, which by the way sucks since it uses alot of system resources), and what ever it is that causes the game to crash fro me.

I have not figured that part out yet since Microsoft and fourms are no help. I would definately recommend the game (having finished it for Xbox so I know what the whole game is like) if you can get around the bugs.… Expand

    Decent game. Too much running around, not enough action. Also a lot of repeated areas, just different things to do in them.

    This is the first time I've played a Fable game and
    I enjoyed this game mostly, I liked the story and that you could do bad, or good things or both. I like having a choice and not have to be a goody goody hero all the time.
    Though I disliked and found it very frustrating that you could not save when doing a quest and should you fail, you have to start all the way from the beginning.    This is the first time I've played a Fable game and

    Though I disliked and found it very frustrating that you could not save when doing a quest and should you fail, you have to start all the way from the beginning. That almost made me rage quit when trying to escort some spy and there was a massive amount of guards and no matter how much I tried he kept being killed as he dies in a few hits. So decided it was not worth the frustration to bother with that quest anymore.

    The game is rather linear and the world seems quite small. Hirelings are rather useless with bad AI.

    Despite the things I disliked I found the game fun and it kept me playing and wanting to see what is going to happen next.

    I recommend this game if you like RPG's and a interesting story and don't mind that it's linear.
    It's a bit too short for my liking. I completed the game in 30hours and I did not rush and did all side quests but 1.    … Expand

    This game is very good and sweet. Starting as a child in a beautiful village and being a hero step by step makes you love your character. Voice acting and graphics are satisfying. Conversations are often funny and you feel relaxed in the beautiful atmosphere. About bad sides; Game doesn't give you enough freedom to having fun apart from quests.

    Good game, but I was hoping it was better. Got to know this franchise with Fable III and really like it, but then I heard Fable III was the worst in the bunch and maybe my expectations got too high. Most people like Fable 1 better than me, so you migh as well try it.

    Great game love the universe and all the secondary quests you can do.

    The only flaw I see is that the combat system is a little bit too simple and glunky

    For all its potential, Fable is a cautionary tale of what happens when developers buy their own hype. From underwhelming combat to disappointing lack of options and unintuitive controls, Fable fails to produce.

    A very accessible and pretty RPG. Perhaps it could benefit from added complexity and higher difficulty.

    Fun, but it lacks depth compared to other PC roleplaying games. [Nov 2005, p.78]

    You can see for yourself that Fable has damn fine looking graphics. The attention to detail can not really be underestimated in this respect. The character models look brilliant and the aesthetic changes in your hero’s look over time add just that little bit extra to the game’s finesse.
