Is this game any good? How is Fable series in general?
>>
First one (not the remaster btw) is great, rest is shit.

What happened to the remaster?

>>343216520
It's literally this
>>
>>343217187

Yup, checks out.

>>343217085
By what i saw on some reviews they changed the menus info some sorta abomination form.
Beyond that i don't know and i don't quite care to know.
>>
Fable
>Charming as fuck
>Really fun to play and explore
>Pretty innovative for its time
>Epic as fuck villain

>Kind of short
>Doesnt come close to living up to hype
>Hasnt aged amazingly well

The Lost Chapters
>Fixes some problems with the original
>Expands original considerably
>Pretty much perfects it
>Perfect new voice for Jack of Blades

>Still hasnt aged the best but holds up a bit better

Fable II
>Adds some neat new ideas and features
>Some segments are genuinely really fun
>Tons of extra content to keep you busy
>Adds local multiplayer
>Playable female character

>Kind of feels like a retread of the original
>Multiplayer is weak as shit
>Ending is beyond shit-tier
>Feels bizarrely short

Fable III
Never played it, but I've heard NOTHING but negatives universally. Apparently it's tedious, buggy, over simplified limiting your choices, etc.

Fable Anniversary
>Literally the Lost Chapters, but somehow worse in practically every way... except some of the visuals are a little better sometimes?
>>
>>343216682
This.

>>343217085
"remaster" is worse than the original in every way possible - graphics are somehow worse because the engine is UE3 now which destroys all texture quality, menus are awful and consolized when they were perfect for kb+m in the original The Lost Chapters, the only new content the remaster adds is horribly overpriced items that become outclassed an hour into the game. The ONLY improvement added is a harder difficulty mode that nerfs resurrection phials and the physical shield spell - that's it.

>>343217608
Pretty accurate. Fable 2 was the comfiest of the series IMO, it's a damn shame it never got a PC port.

This is all true, though it should be mentioned that II doesn't have quite the level of charm that 1/TLC had.

III has even less charm.

the only thing worse in Anniversary are the menu controls when you play on PC, since the menu doesnt support the mouse, everything else is better

so if you want to get into Fabel, just get Anniversary and be done with it, 2 is mediocre at best and 3 is absolute shit

>>
>>343218151
Anniversary feels like a buggy as shit port, though. Everything about it feels broken and awful. As a dedicated fan of the original and Lost Chapters I went ahead and pre-ordered Anniversary, and couldn't even stand playing the fucking thing long enough to get to the Hero's Guild.
>>
Fable 1 is amazing. A bit too easy for me but it was still a very fun game. I never played Fable 2 since it had no PC release but I heard it was meh. Fable 3 is complete trash though avoid that shit at all costs the first few hours were a fucking slog and I quit before I even got to any real combat/gameplay.
>>
>>343218118
Still the only thing about TLC that I dislike. The point of the Sword of Aeons at the end was to gain a lot of power in return for killing your sister (even if that was non-canon), having Avo's Tear available for taking the good option is bullshit.

Also in the original non-TLC version, SoA's damage was 500, but in TLC its damage is only 320 - same with Avo's Tear.

>>343218182
I always do this. I also cheese Hobbe Cave back and forth to get a combat multiplier of at least 30 for the demon door in front of it that gives the Cutlass Bluetane immediately after that pickaxe, turns the game into ezmode.

>>343218285
Original TLC, not Anniversary.
>>
>>343218338
>couldn't even stand playing the fucking thing long enough to get to the Hero's Guild.

Don't get me wrong. I hated the Anniversary edition and I was already furious by the time I got to the Heroes Guild, but saying "I only played 5 minutes" doesn't really sound good in making an argument.
>>
>>343218385
I went even one better once. Was bored so decided to see how strong I could get before killing the bee queen. Grinded the fuck out of hobbes and ate a few thousand fish for mana exp. 5 million gold, maxed out everything and a few more legendaries including skroms bow later and I one shotted the queen and plowed through the rest. Kind of fun honestly, still have a save right before the bee queen to incase I ever want to play again
>>
>>343216520
Fable is honestly so much fun. I was fit to burst the first time I reached the arena as a kid. Everything about that game is a blast, except the GM spam.

>>
>>343218385
>Sword of Aeons
I at least appreciated the easter egg they left for people who made the bad choice for both end game fights
>>343218915
>GM constantly talking to you through your seal
Honestly, that shit grew on me. I think what got to me the most in Fable II was the Heroes Guild being gone. It felt much more lonely being the last hero (fuck Garth, Hammer and Reaver) than being in a guild full of shitters that were always dropping in on your quests.
>>
>>343218880
That's the thing, though. I genuinely loved the original and Lost Chapters, but the actual controls themselves were so broken in Anniversary that's literally the longest I could stand playing it. I played for a good hour, JUST trying to adapt to the new feel of it, hoping it was just 'updated' and needed getting use to... and that never happened.
>>
>You will never play 2

FeelsBad
>>
>>343219527
It's even worse for people like me who only played it long ago, forget most of it, want to play it again, but their xbox broke. I want a PC version damnit, and now we'll never get it because Lionhead was fucking shut down.
>>
TLC is the best but I have to nerf myself. Limiting levels, spells, sticking to a character etc
>>
>>343219492
Isn't there an option two switch to the classic Fable controls? Or was that not an option at launch or something? I couldn't stand playing Anniversary with the Fable 2/3 layout, but I switched it.
>>
>>343219668
It wasn't the controls themselves, but the way the character controlled. It felt broken, like I couldn't move my character how I wanted to.

The game also chugged really fucking bad for some reason. Like... unplayably bad.

Is it better to use bows or crossbows?

How strong is magic in this game?


Can I roleplay evil wizard effectively?
>>
>>343219947
>bows or crossbows
Crossbows generally feel a little stronger on average, but I believe the strongest ranged weapon is a bow. I prefer the feel of bows.

>how strong is magic in this game
God-like

>evil wizard
Very effectively.
>>
>>343219947
Bows>crossbows.
Magic is OP.

Yes, that's one of the classic archetypes for playing the game and having as most fun as possible.

Your sentiments are relatable. I missed 'em in the end. His spam was still undoubtedly ingrained in my adolescent brain meat though. He spoke for nary a decent reason most of the time.
>>
>>343219947
Crossbows are objectively better in general than regular bows.
Magic is OP.
Yes.
>>
>>343219668
Not at all. My experience with the game on release went something like this
>Use M+KB because Fable TLC had flawless controls
>Realize you can't use mouse on the now consolized menus
>Realize you have to instead use the arrow keys and the "A" and "B" buttons (yes, A and B on a fucking keyboard
>No option to change keybindings
>say fuck it and go through Oakvale trying to ignore how much of a pain in the ass it is to go through the menus in an RPG with shit controls
>Heroes Guild training begins
>realize block is middle mouse button and can't be changed
>don't have a working middle mouse button
>say fuck it and take out a controller
>Reload to before the quest because took a few hits and muh scarring
>They changed the saving so that you now have to repeat the entire heroes guild training segment
>The heroes guild training is bugged for reloading (issue in both versions) and because of the new saving, have to restart the whole game
>say fuck it

I seriously cannot understand how a game that was released on PC over 10 year ago with perfect controls could get a rerelease with controls worst than most modern console ports. It seriously boggles my mind.

Crossbows are too slow to reload, they're out-DPSed by bows and every legendary bow>every legendary crossbow.
>>
>>343220142
>>343220303

I'm getting some mixed responses regarding bows.
>>
>>343219947
Bows.
So strong it is more-or-less an auto win when paired with a weapon style. Pair it with a bow and see the niggers drop like flies.

Ebil Wiz0rd is easy as balls to RP. Murder everyone, offer up the living as tithe to the Old Gods. You know. Standard evil wizard fare.
>>
>>343220521
Play for yourself and find out. Honestly the game is easy enough that you can nerf yourself a little and use crossbows for the style points. I love the artstyle in the game but all of the bows just look a little too bulky and ugly for me.
>>
>>343220521
Crossbows deal more damage per hit (great with one of the late game spells that makes your ranged hit four times with one shot), but bows are stupid fast. You are able to unload two shots with a bow to every one shot with a Crossbow. DPS is higher.
>>
>>343220974
It should be noted that DPS is relatively unimportant when you are literally a Hero among peasants. Use whatever you think is awesome, it'll do you just fine.
>>
>>343218901
That's a good idea honestly. I never though about fucking off after exiting the hero's guild and just messing around in the rest of the world not doing quests. I should try.
>>
>>343220491
Odd, to me crossbows felt faster to reload and more damage dealing (with the exception of any legendary bows).
>>
Reminder that Sharpening>every other Augmentation. Always always put it on your weapons if they have empty slots.
>>
>>343219865
I had none of those problems, maybe your just a scrub, probably played it with a controller too, don't blame a game for your shortcomings, thanks

You get faster reloads with the bow if you put points into skill, I'm pretty sure crossbows reload at a flat rate no matter what.

Every playthrough I typically travel all the way to Oakvale before I do any of the guild quests.

Grind magic the whole time, conserve Will Potions, devote all money to Will Potions. Sell Resurrection Phials.

Invest in Physical Shield and increasing Mana Bar as early as possible.

Boost strength as well, do be able to wield the Obsidian Greataxe you dig up in Oakvale.

Proceed to cheese the entire game, and take "no damage" boasts on every quest to make bank.

It's just so comfy to do.

Not him but the way the economy of each shop works is retarded. Leveling up your Guile skill will increase the gold you get from selling stuff/decrease the cost of buying stuff, but that isn't essential.
The way trader stocks work is that they'll sell things they have a surplus of for cheaper than their base cost, and if they're out of items they'll pay more than the base cost for them. So it's as simple as buying a lot of emeralds for example from a shop in Oakvale for cheaper than normal, then selling them all back immediately for a profit. You can do this as early as when you leave the Guild too and have less money by doing it with cheaper items in Bowerstone like potions.

Bravo Lionhead.

Fable promised too much, but was a really cool game for what it was when you get past the guild masters voice constantly following you everywhere talking about your health level and to take a health potion or food. Apparently bethesda liked it enough to basically use that game mechanic in skyrim which I felt was a real let down to TES series along with using magic was almost exactly the same as Fable.

First Fable was basically impossible to not beat if you had the slow time magic spell.

Fable II cut a lot of play style content but the game was longer story wise and had more play through content and still had a few choices about how to play through it. Was overall a solid game.

Didn't play 3 watched a demo of the intro when it was about to come out and decided I wasn't interested.

They're decent games worth spending time on. Just don't expect anything amazing.

I mean there ARE good ideas in this series but some of them are just implemented to be meaningless in the long run. Like romance where story related NPCs are largely off limits such as pic related or the "Weapons that grow with you" in Fable III but... They just barely mean shit and ultimately you're playing the game to rip through the story.

Well you could lose with those other ones, physical shield was tough but if you screwed up enough you could potentially lose if you got an unlucky string of hits landed on you like a balvarine knocking you down then going apeshit with attacks.
A lot of the spells were fun I'm not griping about them I just think it's not possible to lose if your using slow time specifically.

Fable 1/TLC is a solid game. At the time, it was massively disappointing and a joke, but it's worth playing.

Fable 2 is incredibly easy and casual, but it's pretty fun. The 17th century style setting and technology appealed to more than the medieval fantasy of the first.

Fable 3 is dogshit. It is even easier and more casual than Fable 2 and has no redeeming features.

3 would be a pretty good game if it didn't just stop when you become king

Because the game doesn't really introduce him to you until the arena and gave no indication that he had been behind the sacking of Oakvale when you were a kid, in fact I would go so far to say that unless you played with a strategy guide, you still thought it was Twinblade who was responsible. Also original voice>TLC voice fuck what >>343217608 said.

>there aren't many armor options
and the ones that exist are good
>NPCs
The dialogue and emotes are nice
>Combat
Isn't balanced but it's not much of an issue because it's fun and reacts well
>world
It's linear, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. It's still well set up and full of nooks and crannies
>alignment
Easy to fix, yeah. But alignment itself seems alright.

You do have valid criticisms. But I don't feel like they invalidate aspects of the game. It's linear, but linearity can be good. It's easy, but the combat can be good. Alignment is easy to fix, but it's still interesting. You get the idea.

I use to get drunk on beer and play fable by myself a lot.
I was really depressed. I started making my character drink beer with me all the time, only armor peice he had was a chainmail shirt and a platemail helmet, forgot what other clothes he wore but it looked really ratty. He grew out a tramp beard and cut his long hair, it went grey really fast. The world didn't seem very cheery it was usually sunset or night time, I'd stop to fish sometimes but mostly he just drank beer and killed people.

Is pure caster viable or should I mix it up with melee?

i enjoyed them thoroughly. theyre short as hell, and 3 kind of shat the bed a bit, but theyre fun enough that i replay them from time to time

>>343233606
You get a spell that will summon you swords and a lot of level 1 spells are piss weak but yea It is doable.

>>343233606
It was in fable 1, did it as an evil playthrough.

any build is easily doable, although spells often mesh well with melee or ranged

The remake is a piece of shit even on 360 .
Awful menu, they got rid of main menu music, frame drops, pop ups.
Got 1000G and resold it.
I frankly prefer my original Xbox copy.
I would play TLC on PC more often but no controller support. I'll try to get a Xbox copy sometimes.

I'm 5 hours into anniversary, is it really worth restarting with TLC?
>>
>>343219947
It depends.

Crossbows are generally stronger but slow as fuck. I only ever used one as an opener to a fight then switched to sword.

Bows are generally less strong but much easier to spam.

When you get to the endgame, the ultimate Bow is the best ranged weapon you can have.
>>
>>343235236
All I've noticed in terms of difference so far is that TLC's audio's blasting my headphones
>>
>>343235236

Yes. Without hesitation, TLC is superior in almost every way.
>>
>>343235305
I hate how Crossbows are shit from get-go and not properly balanced vs the bows. Think they only have slight practicality during a TLC-only tutorial quest.

HOW THE FUCK IS TLC BETTER

Ded serious. Dead serious. Here are a list of TLC's advantages over Remaster

>Faces are kind of silly in Remaster (but this partially nostalgia)
>UI is changed (but not objectively worse), again, nostalgia

Dead serious. Dead serious. How is Fable TLC better than the Remaster?

Beat Fable original 6 times on OG xbox
Beat TLC like 10 times on Xbox
Beat TLC like 5 times on PC
Beat Fable 2 4 times on 360
Played the Fable 2 pre order gambling game like for 100 hours
Beat Fable 3 once on 360
Beat Fable 3 once on PC
Beat Remaster once on PC

I love this fucking series. I am the biggest nostalgia fag out there and even I sincerely don't see how Remaster is worse.

If you've grown used to the controls, you might as well keep playing. That's the biggest issue with Anniversary (as well as the menu design but I lump that in with their inability to understand PC design)

As far as audio, I've never had audio trouble with TLC.

I like how you didn't quote any of the posts making a point of how bad the controls are for Anniversary. Without going back through the whole thread

>>343219668
>>343219492
>>343218338
several more exist in this thread, you could also go through the archive for literally hundreds of threads on the topic. Considering you ignored the posts in this very thread though on the poor menu design and control scheme, you're probably just baiting.

If you want to argue you're being serious, start with mentioning how you coincidentally skipped several posts in this thread on controls and menu design while also not mentioning them in your post

Okay, so UI management is a little inconvenient on M+K (despite game is better played on gamepad but whatever its okay)

Guy was complaining about block button and other keybinding IN the game. Which is possible. Fully.

Okay, so here is result. If you play with a gamepad, get Fable Remastered. It is objectively better. If you play with a keyboard and mouse and are autistically impatient on menus, get TLC.

there

>>343236842
>"little inconvenient"
>saying the menus are not objectively worse when it objectively takes longer to get around than it did several years ago
>in a game that requires several menus
>also a game that had a perfect M+KB set up several years ago
>somehow completely ruined
and for what? Shitty graphics? I dare you to tell me that it's easier to use a keyboard to slowly move through the new menus compared to using a mouse to immediately jump around in TLC

That's also not taking into consideration that keybinding was impossible on release and following release and the ui was even worse. They had to patch that shit in because of how incompetent they are.

You know what you haven't offered? A reason to play remastered.
>>343237169
>autistically impatient
Again, what value does remastered hold? Why would I play a game that is inferior in every way to TLC? You can say objectively better until the fucking cows come home. Several people in this thread have already made a point that remastered offers nothing EXCEPT shittier controls.

And FYI, if you say having to spend more time on menial tasks on video games isn't an issue. You're a fucking liar. You might as well tell me that you'd be fine waiting 30 seconds to transfer between zones.

Really? You honestly think Remastered looks worse than TLC?
>You know what you haven't offered? A reason to play remastered.
Better graphics.
>That's also not taking into consideration that keybinding was impossible on release and following release and the ui was even worse. They had to patch that shit in because of how incompetent they are.
And now that the game is being discussed in 2016, I discuss the game in fucking 2016 with patches and all.
>remastered offers nothing EXCEPT shittier controls.
Yes, graphics mean nothing. I'll be taking your Video card now, you can have my PS2.

>>343237624
>>343237590
I disagree wholeheartedly. If it is worse, it is still a small price to pay for much better graphical fidelity.

>>343216520
It didn't age well.

>>343237749
I like certain ideas and gimmicks attempted in 2 and 3, like side-jobs and clothing customization. The menu in 3rd fable was really nice too, even though most people did not like it. But man, they just had to keep making these games mechanicly worse and somehow easier with each release than the already easy 1st game. I am not even sure if its even possible to lose to an encounter in 3, let alone die to one.

Seriously, all of your posts would have been made pointless if you just read through the thread first. People thought the graphics looked like shit since release. Your entire argument is basically you crying about nobody liking the graphics and nothing else.

It's not fucking Crysis, but as a remaster of a game years old, the graphics are much better.
>>
>>343238648
>(you)
For someone who talks about subjectivity so much, you really like to think your feelings are superior. You can enjoy the graphics all you want, the majority clearly feel it's not good. That's all your complaints boil down to.
>>
>>343237995
If you can extract something from my 360 do it.
I don't fucking believe a remake ( even that , only graphics are better and nothing else) get frame drops on a 360 from a 1st party developer.
Even Alien: Isolation runs on this toaster and with less frame drops.
Why couldn't they have done something akin to Halo anniversary?
>>
Fable was shallow as shit in almost all aspects, but I did like how they included a lot of life sim elements into the game. I wish other games did that more often. I mean the life sim elements that were in Fable kinda sucked anyway, you couldn't do much to decorate your house, you could marry somebody but they were all generic NPCs with no personality and the real estate/business sim aspect of it was basically just sitting around collecting rent. If somebody could do a game LIKE fable and add depth to the RPG elements, the combat, and the life sim stuff it could be a great game.
