I am literally now given the option to be an angel (good) king or devil (evil) king, (with wings to match) by deciding how to rule the kingdom. (Spoilers ahead from now on in this section).īut now, the game tells me, your journey is just beginning, you’re king now and have to decide how to rule. Soon I was ready to overthrow the king, and so I did with ease. Gathering allies across a nation by doing various quests to win their favor might not be the most original idea in RPG history, but it’s acceptable enough. I have no problem with the first part of the game. But when I thought Fable 3 was just getting started, things were over in a flash. I liked Fable 2 because it kept going long after I thought it had reached its peak. The fact that I’ve already beaten this game is the genesis for me writing this post at all. I detail each aspect of the game that infuriates me, and if you’re a fan of the series, or just come here because you like hearing me bitch about stuff, then boy, this is the post for you. It’s a rant of epic proportions clocking in at 2,800 words and counting. I feel so strongly about all the things that are wrong with this game, what you’re about to witness is literally the longest single post in Unreality history. Baking pies is the same mechanic as forging iron, a nobleman is just as uninteresting in appearance and speech as a peasant, and a magic gun kills foes as easily as a regular one. Not bothering to make any of the jobs different from each other, any of the people different from each other, or any of the weapons different from each other. There are virtually no differences in gameplay or features from the last game, the designers not bothering to add new weapon types or spells. Yes, it still had some issues to be resolved, but surely those would at least improve somewhat in the third chapter, right?įable 3 might be one of the laziest games I’ve ever played. It expanded customization, skills, the plot, everything was deeper, richer and had more thought put into it. I liked Fable 2 because it improved over its predecessor. So why then, do I hate, hate, hate this one so much?

It’s strange, because in many ways it’s exactly like Fable 2, which I actually chose as my game of the year when it was released.

I just beat Fable 3, one of my most anticipated games of the year, and much to my surprise, I absolutely loathed it.
