Fable is a Roleplaying Game for everyone. It's easy to get into, and once you've done that, you'll want to keep playing.
With it's outstanding story, which I'll get further into later, combined with unique and nearly perfect gameplay, great character development and lots of places to explore, then there's nothing that should hold you back from trying this game.
Even though it's a few years old by now, it still matches the today standards quite nicely. The game can also be found for merely $20, which is a steal at that price, as you probably won't find any other Roleplaying game at this quality, at the same pricerange.
In Fable, you start out as a kid. Through the entire game you'll be met by choices, and you'll keep choosing whether to do the bad, or good deeds.
If you choose to become a good person, people will worship you, adore you, and find you quite attractive. You'll be loved by most, and be a hero to all. However, if you choose the other path to Evil, people will be frightened by you, fear you and in some cases, their last moments will be just before your sword hits them.
You live in the small village of Oakvale. At first, it seems peaceful. You run around, and try to earn money to buy your sister a birthday present! You can earn money by performing good, or bad, deeds. Not long after you give her the present, the village will be attacked by bandits. Most will be killed, some will live to encounter you later in the game - But what you notice is, your father dies, your sister has gone missing, and neither have you seen your mother.
A wizard, from The Guild, will save you in the last possible moment. (Typical, they always have to show up just before you're about to be killed...)
He will advise you to go with him, and so you do, because the Village is now no more than ruins of a once peaceful place. Immidiately after you arrive at the Guild, your training will begin. You'll learn to master each of the three ways to progress as a Hero. Combat, Skill and Will. Combat, is simply formed by strenght, toughness and health. They'll make sure you do better in close fights. You'll be able to hit your enemies harder, take more hits and gain more health. Skill will make you better with the bow, and also a lot more stealthier and quicker. it will also make you a better salesman too. And last, Will is what gives you magical powers. You'll start out with a single spell, but there are over 20 spells to master, each with 4 different levels! There are spells for the good heroes, and the bad ones, of course. To upgrade and become a stronger and more powerful Hero, you gain experience points. Not only 'General' points, points that you simply gain for slaying enemies, but you also gain experience in each field - Combat, Skill & Will. So if you tend to use Combat a lot, by killing your enemies with a sword, hammer, pickaxe or whatever you prefer, then you'll gain Experience for Combat. You can only use these experience points to upgrade Health, Toughness or Strenght, which are sub-menues of Combat. Same rules go for Will & Skill.
Once you finish Guild Training, the civilians of Albion (The Land in Fable), will require your help at once, to kill Wasps. The quest is not related to the story though, as it's simply one of the many sidequests you'll be able to take on, through the entire time that you're playing Fable.
The story though, is much more interesting. You'll go to jail, fight bosses, encounter other Heroes and much, much more. Not to mention, meet with your lost sister and mother!
There's tons of different armors, weapons and items to find and purchase in the land of Albion. Wizard clothes, if you love magic. Dresses, if you feel a tad homosexual, or simply wish to express yourself to the other civilians. Assassin Clothes, for those who wants to be stealthy. Platemail, but bright and dark, for those mighty warriors. These are only a bit of the armors available for you. In Weapons, you'll find swords, axes, pickaxes, hammers and much more! There's a wide number of various weapons, with different damage they deal, speed, looks and other such things. Undoubtly, there's a weapon for you that you'll enjoy using. Not only are there ordinary weapons, which you can enhance with Augmentions of different kinds, but there are also mighty Legendary Weapons! No matter what sort of weapon you prefer, there'll surely be one for you.
Even though the game is getting old, then the graphics are still quite good. They do not seem to require a High-End PC at all, so if you've got a 5 year old PC, then you should be able to play the game just fine.
That doesn't mean, that Fable is not a good looking game though. It's got a lot of details and nice looking environment as well as characters, weapons and such are quite awesome looking as well. There are tons of things to do outside the main story - Quests, secret doors that unlocks if you do special things and has an item for you inside (Demon Doors), fishing, Chicken Kickin' and lots of other stuff.
To be honest, Fable is probably the best Roleplaying Game I've tried for a very long time. I will truly miss the unique gameplay it offers, when I'm playing other RPG's. Fable manages to create an awesome gameplay experience, with funny characters, story and lots of awesome things that'll keep you coming back and play some more. The replay value is almost endless.
