    Re: Anybody getting Fable???

    I'm definitely getting this.

    I initially told myself I'd hold out on The Sims 2 because it's coming too soon and I don't want to spend like that (especially with Live 2005, Halo 2, Chaos Theory, and God Of War coming out very soon), but Fable looks like a must get.

    If I don't enjoy it, I'll just end up selling it for close to what I spent for it, so it's no matter to me.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

          Wasn't interested at all during all the delays, since I'm not a big RPG fan. But I believe this one will get my money, it just sounds amazing.

              This isn't your fault, but why do they keep calling this game a RPG?

              To me, it seems more like Legend of Zelda, which in my opinion is an action/adventure/RPG (if there's a better title then please let me know).

              Fable is nothing like Final Fantasy, a strict RPG game. It just seems like people might be put off by Fable because they think it's like Final Fantasy when that couldn't be farther from the truth.

                  think of it more ala morrowind? the ability not to follow the storyline and just do your own thing. More of a western rpg then an eastern rpg.

                      I was just playing Morrowind yesterday. That game is the G.O.A.T to me. If Fable is anything similar to Morrowind(all impressions and previews indicate that it is) then I'm all over this game like Micheal Jackson at a day care center.

                      But on a side note. The more I read about the game, the less it seems like Morrowind. For instance, they seem to have taken out the freedom while traveling. I read on gamefaqs that you cant walk around to much while traveling from city to city like you could on Morrowind. Meaning you cant walk though a forest and things like that. In Morrowind, you can easily get lost while traveling which adds more immersivness to exploring. Some places, you just dont wanna go cause it'll literally take you an hour to reach a destination. If Fable has a linear path to reach cities, that'll suck.

                          On the other hand, the character interactions seem much more rich.

                          In the latest XBN (I believe), Peter Moleneux describes a tester who marries the mayor's daughter. Then killed the mayor, then the wife.

                          .....

                          Leaving him, of course, to inherit all the mayor's possessions.

                          This is not a planned storyline, and Moleneux had never even considered the possibility. But if you put enough pieces in place, anything can happen.

                              Yea, the real draw to me with this game is that the possibilities are endless. You can come up with thousands of diffrent scenarios and each players actions will differ from one another. And no 2 ppls game will look and feel the same.
