 An Amazing RPG August 28, 2010
GamerTom
I have played a lot of RPG's but this one has to be one of the best. Even though there's not much to character customization, besides changing clothes and armor, and a couple of different hairstyles and facial hair styles to choose between, the quests are fun, and the gameplay itself is very fun, gets a little challenging at times, but whats a video game without challenge. Although it's not necessary to play this one to understand the second, there are some refrences and its overall a very good game. I also liked the level up system, not what I'm used to in other RPG's but very new and refreshing. A definite must buy for any gamers who like RPG's.
 Decent RPG August 3, 2010

When starting the game it seemed like it was made for little kids but I stuck with it and it turned into a fairly good RPG.
The game was very stable - zero crashes. Graphics were good.
Comedy was nicely interjected although some of it was pretty juvenile. (farting and belching on command, I'm kind of surprised there wasn't an option for relieving yourself)
I loved all the mini-games. Actually I wish there was an option to export them to your computer and play them outside the game itself.
At first I thought the economics were well done. The prices were different based on the supply available. Then I found out you could buy all of something from a merchant who had a large supply (at a low price) then turn right around and sell them back to him at a high price (since now he is out of them). You could just continue to do that with the same merchant over and over. He would have unlimited money so you could always make as much as you needed. After that the game wasn't near as much fun. I played through it to get to the end but the illusion of being in an alternate world was spoiled. Its amazing to me how many developers mess up the economics in their games. It should not be that complicated - just make sure that there are always useful/fun items to buy that are expensive enough that they take a long time to save the money. Its just like in real life. Why do you think so many athletes and movie stars get into so much trouble? If things are too easy you just don't appreciate them.
There were not enough hot keys to assign all the gestures, dances, spells, etc.
You should be able to have a separate row of hot keys for different situations. You could then toggle through them or the game could automatically bring up the right ones depending on the situation. e.g. one set of hot keys for combat, one for flirting, etc.
The combat was too hectic for my taste. Too often you would be attacked by a horde of monsters and the combat degenerated into a mashing of keys. The requirement that you collect the experience instead of getting it automatically on the kill was just a needless complexity.
Overall I'd say the developers did a very good job. There were a lot of neat ideas that were put into the game. Its definitely worth a look if you like RPG's.
Good stuff July 2, 2010

I don't want to rehash much of the same stuff people say here because I love the idea that you can play this game for the PC. I will say this though.
The mouse/keyboard combination was a very nice touch. Considering that most console games that have pc versions released just treat the mouse as if its a joystick, Fable does things right by actually making combat on the PC version enjoyable.
Outside of this fact most of what needs to be said has been said by the other commentators. This is a terrific game and I would recommend anyone with a PC buy it and enjoy the fable experience.
fable with a few hours of extra stuff February 18, 2010
j725t
this is pretty much fable with a few more hours of gameplay. i wasnt able to find the new armor and only a few new weapons. but thats because i dont really look for the demon doors silver chests, ext but i enjoy it anyway it doesnt have much replay value to me since its so linear
Fable:The Lost Chapter Review November 9, 2009
Becky Miller (Lansdale Pa)
As a former World of Warcraft junkie( it was once referred to by a friend as "crack for nerds") i was looking for something that gave a similar experience. I found a great game here. It took some time to get used to the controls- i hit mt "go to sleep" button quite a few time on my keyboard in the middle of a fight- weapon selection is through your delete and page down buttons- spells are great but you use you middle scroll to get to the - movement is through wasd or arrow control(takes getting used to) and quite easy to forget between game plays.Overall nice storyline-lots of game play and some rather tongue in cheek moments.
