Fable is a game where you decide the outcome. For every action, there will be a consequence. You can choose to become a noble hero, a treacherous villain, or anywhere in between. You may decide to save villagers from evil bandits or work alongside them in wreak ing havoc on whomever you wish. Weapons: You are given a wide variety of weapons to choose from for your unique character. To name a few, there are swords, axes, bows, and hammers. The weapons that you use will either be heavy or light. Of course, heavy weapons inflict more damage but are slow and light weapons are easier to maneuver but cause less damage. Clothing: The armor that you equip is another crucial part of the development of your character. This is another aspect of the game in which you are given room to customize your specific character. You can mix and match the clothing that you wear or you can wear special outfits designed for specifc jobs. For example, there are the bandit (which you'll have to equip in a certain part of the game), assassin, dark/light mage, and dark/bright metal outfits, just to name a few. (I had fun customizing my character, who of course, was the noble hero.) Magic: What kind of game would Fable be if there weren't any spells. Here, you can choose the magic that befit your unique character. For example, my character had assassin's rush, slow time, heal, multi arrow, ghost sword, divine fury, and I can't remember the rest. You are also able to level up these spells to even greater powers. For those of you who would have rather chosen the path of the treacherous villain, you might choose spells like drain life and infernal wrath. Battles: The battle system is perfect. You can fight hand-to-hand combat, shoot arrows from afar, or use devastating magic to finish you enemies. Once you master these skills, you will able to fight characters like Twin Blade (leader of the bandits), the White Balverine (a mysterious but dangerous beast), and Jack of Blades (whom you will find out about when you play the game). Life in Albion: Fable isn't only about fighting bandits, creatures, and dangerous foes. You can choose to marry and buy a house for you and your wife. (And she is your WIFE so if you go to your house and talk to her long enough, something is sure to happen. Don't worry, they won't show anything.) And if its more wives you want, you can marry again. Although, be sure that they don't live near each other because you might lose both of them. Other than marrying, you can buy houses and rent them out for money, and also buy pubs and shops. Story: Don't think that I forgot the interesting story that ties this beautiful game together. I'm not much for spoiling, but basically, you start out as a young boy who loses his family and joins the Heroes Guild. There, you will learn how to fight and when you graduate, your journey begins, as you set out on your own to carve your own path. As you dive deeper within the story, great mysteries reveal themselves and you find yourself unable to stop playing. (Well that's what happened to me at least.) If all of that didn't convince you to play the game, then read this quote from the treacherous villain: "...That which I desire I take. Those who would hinder me, I slay. Those who do not yet fear me will learn their mistake...." You'd be lying if you didn't say that that was crazy. Peace.
