Personally the story line to fable 2 was great short but great and im not sure why everyone hated on fable 3 it was pretty good too not like 1&2 but good
Part of the charm of the original fable was its “simplicity” both in terms of swords and sorcery (vs. muskets and industrial revolution) as well as its game world
Or microsoft tried to have someone patch the xbox version for backwards compatibility. It kinda is heavily finicky. Mine works fine now but I’ve heard horror stories of it being unplayable. It probably helped I played with xbox one x enhancements
I feel like they are both perfect in their own ways and they both could have been improved in so many ways (which I hope Playground learnt from all of Lionheads mistakes). Jack is the best fable character every created and both stories are perfectly made and I would argue that fable 3 also had a good story line but obviously could have done much better. Overall fable is perfectly not perfect and I love it for that reason:)
Fable 1 was a more enjoyable story and had more memorable characters too. I also liked the period it was set much better; taking the huge leap forward and including guns felt like a mistake to me. But, fable 2 had a lot of gameplay improvements, like being able to explore more of the environment, ability to purchase just about every building in the game, jobs, etc. Fable 3 had some great concepts, though it really failed to deliver on expectations, but I really liked things like the visual menu interface, combining spells, and the concept of being able to rise to leadership and command others. Overall I liked Fable 1 (tlc) the best.
If you keep holding RT even when it looks like there isn't any XP until the lighting automatically changes and you get the "amazing fight" text on the top you can guarantee you collected all of it
I just finished Fable 2 and I completely loved both games! But, idk... I have something with Fable 1, I fell that the story is way better, it was more deep and involving to me.
Fable 2 for sure. It improved upon almost everything from the first game. The only thing I didnt like was the downgrade in magic and the removal of the armor system. Besides that it improved upon everything.
I disagree, i tryed to play Fable 2, the fighting system is anoing, and the story is boring compering to Fable 1. Fable 2 has better grafics but thats all, Fable 1 had put more love in to it
I completely agree, however... the lack of a PC version for 2 is really annoying. As a PC gamer, it sucks that when I get the urge to play Fable 2 .I have to either settle for Fable 1, (which is still a great game btw) or dig out the Xbox. Also... this may be a bit of a hot take, but I actually prefer fable 2's setting over Fable 1's. While I love traditional fantasy settings, I think Fable 2's more age of enlightenment inspired setting felt more unique. Although I do think they pushed the setting too far in Fable 3.
you must be nostalgia blinded. fable 2 is shit compared to the first one. combat, world design, story, side quests, character progression were done way better in the first. i almost couldnt believe how much downgraded the second game was compared to the first.
Excellent video - subscribed. But one thing that I didn’t see get mentioned, but which had an outsized impact on the gameplay, was the cutscenes or lack thereof in F2. Lionhead said that eliminating cutscenes would add to immersion, but I just felt like I missed important dialogue.
The morality system was great in Fable 2. The visual changes and variations between good, evil, corrupt and pure were cool. I think they took a step backwards with that in Fable 3.
I have never played any Fables games ever. Just recently downloaded F2 and, I love it. Its funny, i don't like rpg games, but this one is super smooth.
I personally prefer Fable 2. It just feels a lot more pleasant and realistic than Fable 1. Yes, the magic was a bit shortened and bosses were a lot better in the 1st game, but in terms of other aspects Fable 2 seems better to me. Some people say that the story in Fable 1 is better, but I disagree. I literally didn't feel any enjoy having finished it. Fable 2 story is very interesting and heartbreaking. Anyways, thank you for this video! Love ya 💛
I played TLC until Anniversary came out. Personally, I can never go back to TLC since it reminds me of an empty parking lot. It sucks that many mods are broken on Anniversary however and that they didn't deliver new mod tools.
I love everything about the first Fable. I only liked Fable 2 for it's gameplay and having a cute fluffy companion by your side. And get to play as a female hero is cool to. =) I don't really like the story of Fable 2 it just wasn't as satisfacting as the first Fable.
I like the the Main Antagonist of Fable 1 because he brings so much of Ganon feeling to the Xbox side of things and plus he is more of ruthless mature Ganondorf. And the combat and controls of 1 is 5 times better than what both Fable 2&3 brought to the table. The only minus about fable 1 and 2 is that your character turns old when you upgrade while rest of the world stay mysteriously young. As for Fable 2 the world, activities, Dog Companion, and features such as getting scars/fat/bumps/pregnant(if you are a woman) makes Fable 2 standout from 1.
Fable 1: more enemies. Actual Boss fights. Magic that doesn’t feel samey. You can shoot while strafing/moving. Sneaking is a thing. More magic options. Fun options like beating missions without armor. Fable 2: Bigger zones. Better house, economy and rent system. Better graphics smudged in bloom lighting and framerate drops. Most of the good things in Fable 2 are secondary features most people skip. The story for both is the same. Fable 2 has better voice actors though. Fable 1 wins.
I'm never played any fable game before. Hell, only hear that was a great game but never touch that game since i was a kid(especially since i'm grown up with Playstation instead of xbox) . Played fable anniversary for 7 hours now and i feel's like"how the fuck i miss such a amazing game back in my childhood".
Dude you’re absolutely hilarious lol plus your video was really very good! I know your video is a year old but I wanted you to know your video was really funny, creative and informative. Subscribed!
Just a little hint with Fable Two intro where they make the wish to live in the castle. The wish did work, but it was not your sisters wish to live in the castle. It was Sparrow's wish to become a Hero. Hence how the game starts.
I still hope they introduce Jack Of Blades other out of the world relatives: Knight of Blades & Queen Of Blades, and their true origins of where they come from and finally confirm if they are true aliens of the Fable Realm.
You see, the masks on Jack's robes are the masks of Queen and Knight of Blades, we don't know where they went when Jack's physical form went into the void, but I have a odd theory. Perhaps they manifested as Lucien (Quuen) and The Shadow Monster (Knight), it would make sense as they are kind of powerful people in their own right...I think. Maybe they just needed to rebuild their power after all these centuries but It would make sense that they'd come back. And also why Lucien tried to kill the Hero of Bower Lake early on, he knew a Hero would stop him, just like his brother? Friend? Bestie? Jack, so he tried to stop it so he could rebuild the order of blades. As for the Shadow Monster? I don't know, I never really paid attention to that part of the game...or maybe Knight of Blades is Logan, would make more sense, why he isn't "Heroic" and why he shut down the Modern Hero's Guild in Brightwall, but even he feared the darkness...so I have no clue.
Sparrow is dead. In fable 3 he's your father who has long since passed away. It would have to be set before fable 2 for that to happen and that kinda sounds hit or miss.
I was disappointed in the addition of guns in Fable 2 & 3. Should have stuck with bows and crossbow's. Also magic was better in 1 along with the armor and weapons additions. I can use guns here in real life so I always prefer swords, axes and bows and crossbow's and magic..more "Fantasy".. Hopefully The New Fable will be more like Fable 1 except much more open world and a darker tone not so cartoony..
I still think Fable 1 has the best magic system I’ve ever seen. Could use some polishing of course as it’s a very old game but damn those spells were epic! Thanks for watching :)
I didn't like Fable 3's weapon upgrade thing. I enjoy a variety of swords and guns and how they didn't look other worldly. Idk personal opinion. I want a mixture of Fable 1 and Fable 2, but out of the 2 I would pick Fable 2 for sure.
She's still alive because of her bloodline. Some of them are granted unnatural long life ... The bloodline your hero belongs to. Just like the The 1st Archon aka Scyth is Alive
in the case of scythe / william black, isn't that more to do with him selling his soul / binding it to the sword of aeons? like i'd assume thats why he's immortal, but who knows, thersea could have done something similar, maybe she was striked down, fled to the void and someone gained some abilities from that or any other number of things. Hell she could have made a similar deal to the court of shadows like reaver (which seems similar to williams deal with the sword, except as far as we know they didn't require active sacrifices) but like who's to say theresea doesn't manipulate poor fools into giving up their youth and or mortality. Hell maybe thats how reaver found out.. thersea might have manipulated him as a test, or he turned things on her or something and the end result was reaver having his youth and apparently sacrifcing oakvale, OR theresea somehow learned of it because of reaver or any other number of possibilities. again who knows though, i'm just trying to think of possible explanations as it honestly seems like they had certain idea's or lore but never had it actually written. like certain rules or things that they wanted to follow, but then when making the story, writing in game books, etc they may have decided to only use bits of it and add unreliable narrator, though that could be giving them too much credit, idk.
Jack & Reaver being the best villain & anti-hero is a real fact man :D To me Fable 2 is the overall winner with a SLIGHT edge. The dog, the bigger maps, the fact that different weapons actually feel more different and the quests of course. 4 real: The tower and arena are like improved versions of the prison & arena one from the first part. It's a pity that there are not as many cool clothes in Fable 2 :/ At least you can buy almost everything and actually feel like a royalty. Also it improved the appearance: In TLC bad guys looked like Satan's son, good ones like an angel. Through the purity factor I can also be a drinking and hooking chaotic good or my favorite the seductive vampire villain. If Jack would be there and the main quest a little longer it would have been easier for me personal :O -Also props that people like you just don't let Fable die, UA-camrs like you give more fucks about the franchise than it's owners/makers! :)
What I like about fable 1 and 2 is the people the wepons and the powers and how long it is in fable 3 it is not a bad game its jest the powers and the way its setup it's nothing like fable 1 or two that how I fell I don't know about you
Fable I have played the most and remmeber most but I don't have a 360 anymore so maybe thats why, fable 2 I remember being pretty great though and I'd love to play it again. With that being said its hard for me to give a good review of both but I'd choose the first as my favorite. I hated fable 3 when it first came out I remember that lmao, but it's grown a lot on me wanting some fable
F1 TLC all the way.... F2 was a mediocre renaissance game with no legendary weapons, slow magic system and a bad story where you didn't even kill the main antagonist...
Honestly, I agree with most of what you said, but would change some things from my personal experience. Namely, Fable 1 (or the version I played, Fable anniversary) quite honestly couldn't keep me engaged enough for me to even make it to Jack, to be able to tell whether he was a good character or not, I honestly just didn't like most of the characters in around the first half of Fable 1 that I played, Whisper and Thunder specifically were two characters I just couldn't stand, made worse by the fact, that there's sort of an implied history reaching all the way back to the heroes childhood, Theresa is a win in every Fable game, and her first appearance is no exception, and I was interested in both her cold and seemingly careless attitude towards Twin Blade who was the one who saved her, and how she in her own right became a badass hero/assassin, the guildmaster annoyed some people but honestly I thought he was fairly charming for the role his character played in the game, and despite not even having a name that I know of, his calm assisstance to the hero felt better to me than Whisper constantly antagonizing the hero while also somehow considering them a friend, and Thunder seeming to hate the hero from the day they met just because he was strong, the only reason I didn't murder Whisper in the arena was because I was shooting for a good playthrough, and I knew that Thunder would just be more annoying if I killed his sister...what I did NOT know was that after showing his sister mercy in the arena he would later try and attack and kill me anyways to reinforce how insecure he is over his sister's reputation. I made it past the arena, then just got burnt out between dealing with the siblings, and also the combat and gameplay being fairly uninteresting as my character had the shield will power, and a ton of will potions, so the worst a mistake could get me was maybe my shield going down for a second and getting a minor scratch on my character, most of the time though combat was either button mashing the attack button of choice while being invincible, or using force push to make it impossible for enemies to reach melee range and get my multiplier to the most ridiculous number possible before the fighting stopped. The only thing I'd change with your ratings is I'd deduct 1 point in both the character and combat department for Fable 1, I know it's often considered to be the best in the series, but I couldn't even make it half way through the story before taking a break, meanwhile I'm still binging all the content Fable 2 has to offer. Also, I'd add 1 point in characters for Hannah/Hammer and Lucien's diary in Fable 2. Hannah has actual character growth, although fast-tracked, her song in Fable 2 was honestly a highlight to my experience so far, and seeing her go from a pacifistic self-aware monk to fulfilling her potential as hero of strength was something I could honestly relate to in my own way, I like how self-reflective her character is and how she's one of the truly kind-hearted characters in the whole game while still filling her role as a powerhouse in a believable way. Also her exchange with Theresa on the "briefing" for the quest to get Lucien's diary was honestly amazing with both how Hammer can't catch a break, and how savage Theresa is for going from basically saying that she absolutely can't be allowed to be a pacifist, to saying that she lacks the tact and delicacy to deal with what she's sending the hero to do. I haven't gotten the chance to see much of Garth yet since I've taken a break from the main mission to see some of the side activities, but Reaver is pretty much iconic in the Fable series at this point.
Bro when I first approached Hannah and heard her singing "down by the reeds" I just stopped and let my character stand there for 20 minutes before I actually engaged her
I've never played Fable. Was younger around the time Fable 3 came out and was occupied with halo and skyrim. But basing on this video fable 3 is the worst of the 3?
Haha yeah, I would say most Fable fans would agree Fable 3 is the worst. It’s not a bad game at all, I still loved it, but 1 and 2 are better imo. Thanks for watching :)
It's honestly all just a matter of opinion. My favorite is 1, my girlfriends favorite is 2, and my brothers favorite is 3. And we all have different reasons as to why. So until you play the series its hard to really say
I actually came in to the series in reverse order. I started with 3 and went to 2 and fable anniversary came out shortly after I finished 2 so I played that. I would say 3 is the weakest, the menu system is god awful (or rather the lack there of), the sanctuary was a horrible idea, there was even less variety of weapons and even more simplified game-play and the experience system was so simplified it was basically a milestone system with the option to choose within that milestone, with literal gates blocking your progression. I will say fable 3 has the best atmosphere even if I don't like the industrial setting and I agree with the video that the characters are the best, I mean you have freaking John Cleese of Monty Python fame as your butler, how can you beat that? And if you get as charmed with 1 and 2 as a lot of us did there is still good to be found with fable 3. I would recommend playing 3 on PC because the 360 version doesn't run amazingly, though sadly if you go with the PC version you are pretty much forced to get it from less legitimate sources. It is not on any digital storefront on PC anymore and yeah you can get a physical copy but you will be paying nearly full price for a nearly 10 year old game and you won't be able to get any of the dlc because there is literally no support to download it legitimately. Not to mention the physical version might not even work because it is a Games For Windows Live title and I don't know if there is a fan patch. I hope with fable getting another shot the series will have a proper place on PC. Fable 2 never came to pc and I would still love a port one day and making 3 available to buy again would be great and fixing fable Anniversary's horrible mod tool would also be amazing. Sorry for the small novel, I don't get to talk Fable much because none of my friends play it so I had a lot to say. lol
I beated fable, and it was way too short, so should I buy fable 2? I don't care about the little stuff like getting married or anything like that, I don't even care about the story all I care about is if I can do whatever I want in the story like fable (eg, killing stupid whisper) and if beating the shit out of people is as fun as fable.
Both games are extremely special to me, but F2 wins for me, hands down. The game was downright beautiful. I felt like every other medieval-themed game at the time was dark, gloomy, and downright depressing. Fable 2 felt so different. It was bright and colorful. The game was definitely flawed, sure, but the music and atmosphere was amazing. I especially loved having the dog. My absolute favorite parts were the demon doors. Kicking the chicken into that one's mouth was extremely clever. "Winter Lodge" was my absolute favorite area. It also hit me hard when the one door requires you to have a wife and then makes a statement about love before asking "what's it like?". Nothing beats hearing the bower lake theme for the first time when you step out into the charming world of Fable to begin your tale. Being said, Jack of Blades was the better villain. You can definitely tell Fable 2 was rushed, especially at the end. The final confrontation was funny, but pretty disappointing once you realize you've spent all game leveling up and getting ready for absolutely nothing. Fable 2 was also the first game I experienced actual emotions. seeing the grave of my dog after he sacrificed himself for me was absolutely heart-wrenching. It felt so empty running around alone afterwards. There's also a demon door called "Marcus Memorial" that has a really sad story behind it. Inside there's a pretty poem that is somewhat random and personal. It broke my heart when I later discovered it was dedicated to a developer's son who tragically passed away in an accident while they were making the game.
Its bad, dont believe him. In 3 you can literally beat it pressing only y to shoot your starting gun and never die or come close to dying. My 6 year old nephew beat the game in 2 days its so easy and he had school, chores and homework to do. The ending in 3 sucks so badly, there isn't even a boss fight. Well there is but the creature is so easy to kill you think its just a new trash mob. But you realize it was a boss because the game ends with a very anti climactic cutscene and there was only 1 of that enemy. 2 and 3 both have 1/5th the magic and skills the first game does and any weapon other than a gun or sword is too slow and is blocked 90% of the time. It has less game mechanics in both 2 and 3 as well. But don't worry they added farting on people. Thats way cooler than having more than 10 hours content and more than 1/5th the skills and abilities fable 1 has... The reviewer says it himself, you can beat 2 in less than 10 hours, it sucked, at its best it was alright. Thats with side the quests too but your dog did half of em for you because he would warn you of enemies and find all the "hidden" treasure for you. Characters were alright I guess. The actual game sucked tho. Super Mario on the super Nintendo is harder than 2 and 3 combined. But its better than fable 1 😆 🤣 😂 Fable got worse and worse with every subsequent game. Not to mention how much money they tried to pull from you like 10$ for black dye or needing to play with 20 different friends as a pre requisite to upgrade your weapon, and literally I mean literally get you to get your friends to buy the game to unlock equipment because your Morphing weapons spawned in looking like and having shit stats. Here is my nephews review of fable 3: This game fucking sucked uncle! Babies can beat it! Hes right so I didn't rat him out to his mum for swearing. The end of 3 pissed off a 6 year old because it was so easy and the game sucked. It pissed me off because I payed for it and a half illiterate child was able to beat it playing with 1 hand. In the end Peter Molyneux made 2 games for his kids and spent way too much money on graphics and voice actors and far too little in the actual game. Fable 1 is the only good fable the others are shit and at best alright.
Grew up playing all three of these games, have very fond memories of them. I'll be honest in saying that I think Fable 1 hasn't aged particularly well, and it's controls/combat are extremely clunky. Fable 2 was far better.
I basically grown up with fable 2 and 3 but only play the first one like 6 mouths again becouse it was really hard to find the first one when I was younger and I can happily say that I agree with u
I like Fable 1 better than 2, because in Fable 2, it makes people scare away from me when I was become evil, so I hate Fable 2. Fable 1 is the best for me
Not just a bad person if you picked the money in fable 2, you clearly don't know how to get and spend money. Fable 2 and 3 was almost too easy to get money in ^^ On another note: 4:40 I personally don't think "this game is only X hours long" is a way to rate a game. Sure, it sucks if it's really really short. But in this case "this game can be beaten in 10 hours" I would say, can, but should you? Because if you clear any Fable game in less then 20 hours, then you haven't really played it, in my opinion :) Besides, almost every game can be beaten in less then 2 hours, you just need to know how. (referring to speedrunning ofc)
Only play fable TLC but thinking of trying fable 2 then fable 3. Being evil just to easy in fable 1 I loved the story in fable 1. But can’t compare if haven’t tried fable 2 so will get it.
fable 1 had the coolest gameplay. you could customise your magic and weapon combinations to awesome levels. you could flip through your spells and use them in tandem with melee and archery and it was fantastic. in fable 2 you chose 1 button and then pressed it until you won. while rolling
Thank you for the very informative video, i've never played any of these games before and after watching your video i've decided to play The Witcher 3 instead !
I honestly don't care for Fable 4. What i really want is Fable 2 not for Xbox. I love 1, TLC and 3. WhyTF is still an Xbox exclusive after many other games have been ported on Steam from different console? Fable 2 looks so dreamy and charming.... and the Morality Alignment + Purity Alignment is something i need to play before dying.
It's fine if you like Fable 2 better just don't claim it's logic cause I'm sure you know that Fable 2 is super watered down and easy. Nothing ever presents a challenge, there's like half the spells and items. You also literally gave the world a higher score just cause you can swim like what how is that logic. You can like what you want but just remember your opinion is not logical and it doesn't have to be.
This guy truly makes it point to tell his subscribers that he's the one in control but has been around for more than 6 years and only has 22k subs lol I know this was a 3 year old video and he's joking but it really just shows you what does and doesn't work 🤣
For the record when I first cleared the game and got the wish I wished back my dog and my sis But then I made a evil character got so powerful that I could walk into any town and start absolutely bodying everybody in sight without dying and I picked money at the end fair is fair
But what game do you think is better? Let me know!
Fable Legends. It was arguably the most good looking game of this console generation and the characters were all amazing.
Fable the lost chapters, is the best Fable game and by extension Fable Anniversary, change my mind
Oke the story is great in Fable 2 too but the gameplay mechanics are shit
Personally the story line to fable 2 was great short but great and im not sure why everyone hated on fable 3 it was pretty good too not like 1&2 but good
Fable 2 is my personal favorite but Fable 1 is the best objectively.
I hope Fable 4 is a good combination of Fable 1 and 2. Fable 3 wasn't a bad game but for me it missed some of the charm.
Fable 3 had a pretty good story. My problem was the fact that they removed a bunch of gameplay features.
fable 3 cast and fable 1 and 2 gameplay
It felt so awkward holding hands with every random stranger you do an escort mission for
I hope they bring back the sanctuary menu system.......
Part of the charm of the original fable was its “simplicity” both in terms of swords and sorcery (vs. muskets and industrial revolution) as well as its game world

YES!
Fable TLC will always be my favorite, do enjoy fable 2 but its even easier of a game. But both are so good

I love everything about the first Fable.
I only liked Fable 2 for it's gameplay and having a cute fluffy companion by your side.
And get to play as a female hero is cool to. =)
I don't really like the story of Fable 2 it just wasn't as satisfacting as the first Fable.
Same
This needs more eyes on it lol. Great video, will re-watch periodically until Fable comes out.
I like the the Main Antagonist of Fable 1 because he brings so much of Ganon feeling to the Xbox side of things and plus he is more of ruthless mature Ganondorf. And the combat and controls of 1 is 5 times better than what both Fable 2&3 brought to the table. The only minus about fable 1 and 2 is that your character turns old when you upgrade while rest of the world stay mysteriously young. As for Fable 2 the world, activities, Dog Companion, and features such as getting scars/fat/bumps/pregnant(if you are a woman) makes Fable 2 standout from 1.
RockyPunk, I subscribed because your videos are super cool!
Thank you! Ur super cool too 🫣
Fable 1: more enemies. Actual Boss fights. Magic that doesn’t feel samey. You can shoot while strafing/moving. Sneaking is a thing. More magic options. Fun options like beating missions without armor.
Fable 2: Bigger zones. Better house, economy and rent system. Better graphics smudged in bloom lighting and framerate drops. Most of the good things in Fable 2 are secondary features most people skip.
The story for both is the same. Fable 2 has better voice actors though. Fable 1 wins.
i like the sneaking part.
This. People didn't get to experience the first game properly. It was fantastic. And when you throw TLC in? Forget it, Fable 1 wins.
Fable TLC. This isn't even a competition.
I like the atmosphere in fable 1 the best I it’s fantasy and medieval but fable 2 without the armor and guns made it more 1600 to the 1800s
I'm never played any fable game before. Hell, only hear that was a great game but never touch that game since i was a kid(especially since i'm grown up with Playstation instead of xbox) . Played fable anniversary for 7 hours now and i feel's like"how the fuck i miss such a amazing game back in my childhood".
I like Fable 2 because of the larger maps, and the story which in my opinion is superior.
Dude you’re absolutely hilarious lol plus your video was really very good!
I know your video is a year old but I wanted you to know your video was really funny, creative and informative. Subscribed!
A real shame that fable 2 doesnt have a remaster on PC, i remember serving beer in the tavern to earn money, it was pretty fun.
Just a little hint with Fable Two intro where they make the wish to live in the castle. The wish did work, but it was not your sisters wish to live in the castle. It was Sparrow's wish to become a Hero. Hence how the game starts.
I still hope they introduce Jack Of Blades other out of the world relatives: Knight of Blades & Queen Of Blades, and their true origins of where they come from and finally confirm if they are true aliens of the Fable Realm.
They come from the void. They're pretty much demons/gods.
You see, the masks on Jack's robes are the masks of Queen and Knight of Blades, we don't know where they went when Jack's physical form went into the void, but I have a odd theory. Perhaps they manifested as Lucien (Quuen) and The Shadow Monster (Knight), it would make sense as they are kind of powerful people in their own right...I think. Maybe they just needed to rebuild their power after all these centuries but It would make sense that they'd come back. And also why Lucien tried to kill the Hero of Bower Lake early on, he knew a Hero would stop him, just like his brother? Friend? Bestie? Jack, so he tried to stop it so he could rebuild the order of blades. As for the Shadow Monster? I don't know, I never really paid attention to that part of the game...or maybe Knight of Blades is Logan, would make more sense, why he isn't "Heroic" and why he shut down the Modern Hero's Guild in Brightwall, but even he feared the darkness...so I have no clue.
If they ever make a fable 4, I hope they bring back Sparrow and Rose.
I don't think they will, it's gonna be before they are born, way before they were born,
Sparrow is dead. In fable 3 he's your father who has long since passed away. It would have to be set before fable 2 for that to happen and that kinda sounds hit or miss.
@@pyroAdapt only one that's alive is rose, but the thing is the game would be before they were born
You don’t even know that it’s before they are born
This game was way ahead of his time...
I was disappointed in the addition of guns in Fable 2 & 3. Should have stuck with bows and crossbow's. Also magic was better in 1 along with the armor and weapons additions. I can use guns here in real life so I always prefer swords, axes and bows and crossbow's and magic..more "Fantasy".. Hopefully The New Fable will be more like Fable 1 except much more open world and a darker tone not so cartoony..
I still think Fable 1 has the best magic system I’ve ever seen. Could use some polishing of course as it’s a very old game but damn those spells were epic! Thanks for watching :)
I would love to see the old kingdom in fable 4 as it has heaps of lore explaining what the old kingdom looked before.
Fable 1 had op Magic, it was too easy but I don’t use guns myself, so I didn’t mind it but it did lose its medieval touch that it had.
Fable 2 is far superior
Fable 2 was my first and I llove it, easily my favourite
Fable 2 is king!
I didn't like Fable 3's weapon upgrade thing. I enjoy a variety of swords and guns and how they didn't look other worldly. Idk personal opinion.
I want a mixture of Fable 1 and Fable 2, but out of the 2 I would pick Fable 2 for sure.
Fable 2 is the gem of the series I found. Loved the fact that even more side missions unlocked after the main storyline
She's still alive because of her bloodline. Some of them are granted unnatural long life ... The bloodline your hero belongs to. Just like the The 1st Archon aka Scyth is Alive
in the case of scythe / william black, isn't that more to do with him selling his soul / binding it to the sword of aeons?
like i'd assume thats why he's immortal, but who knows, thersea could have done something similar, maybe she was striked down, fled to the void and someone gained some abilities from that or any other number of things.
Hell she could have made a similar deal to the court of shadows like reaver (which seems similar to williams deal with the sword, except as far as we know they didn't require active sacrifices) but like who's to say theresea doesn't manipulate poor fools into giving up their youth and or mortality.
Hell maybe thats how reaver found out.. thersea might have manipulated him as a test, or he turned things on her or something and the end result was reaver having his youth and apparently sacrifcing oakvale, OR theresea somehow learned of it because of reaver or any other number of possibilities.
again who knows though, i'm just trying to think of possible explanations as it honestly seems like they had certain idea's or lore but never had it actually written.
like certain rules or things that they wanted to follow, but then when making the story, writing in game books, etc they may have decided to only use bits of it and add unreliable narrator, though that could be giving them too much credit, idk.
Fable 2 was a perfect game to introduce a young kid to open world games like it did for myself.
Jack & Reaver being the best villain & anti-hero is a real fact man :D To me Fable 2 is the overall winner with a SLIGHT edge. The dog, the bigger maps, the fact that different weapons actually feel more different and the quests of course. 4 real: The tower and arena are like improved versions of the prison & arena one from the first part. It's a pity that there are not as many cool clothes in Fable 2 :/ At least you can buy almost everything and actually feel like a royalty. Also it improved the appearance: In TLC bad guys looked like Satan's son, good ones like an angel. Through the purity factor I can also be a drinking and hooking chaotic good or my favorite the seductive vampire villain. If Jack would be there and the main quest a little longer it would have been easier for me personal :O
-Also props that people like you just don't let Fable die, UA-camrs like you give more fucks about the franchise than it's owners/makers! :)
Would have given Fable 2 a 9/10 for the charakters and a 9/10 for the combat because exploding barrels.
What I like about fable 1 and 2 is the people the wepons and the powers and how long it is in fable 3 it is not a bad game its jest the powers and the way its setup it's nothing like fable 1 or two that how I fell I don't know about you
Fable I have played the most and remmeber most but I don't have a 360 anymore so maybe thats why, fable 2 I remember being pretty great though and I'd love to play it again.
With that being said its hard for me to give a good review of both but I'd choose the first as my favorite.
I hated fable 3 when it first came out I remember that lmao, but it's grown a lot on me wanting some fable
F1 TLC all the way.... F2 was a mediocre renaissance game with no legendary weapons, slow magic system and a bad story where you didn't even kill the main antagonist...
Fable 2 is up there in my favourite games of all time ...... proper classic and graphics were so ahead of there time and unique as was the gameplay
fable 2 is like an illusion that makes you think you're playing an rpg until the illusion is completely shattered only a few hours in
I really liked fable 3. The attention to detail was fantastic and I wish it could be tweaked just a bit to clean up some of the rougher edges.
Honestly, I agree with most of what you said, but would change some things from my personal experience.
Namely, Fable 1 (or the version I played, Fable anniversary) quite honestly couldn't keep me engaged enough for me to even make it to Jack, to be able to tell whether he was a good character or not, I honestly just didn't like most of the characters in around the first half of Fable 1 that I played, Whisper and Thunder specifically were two characters I just couldn't stand, made worse by the fact, that there's sort of an implied history reaching all the way back to the heroes childhood, Theresa is a win in every Fable game, and her first appearance is no exception, and I was interested in both her cold and seemingly careless attitude towards Twin Blade who was the one who saved her, and how she in her own right became a badass hero/assassin, the guildmaster annoyed some people but honestly I thought he was fairly charming for the role his character played in the game, and despite not even having a name that I know of, his calm assisstance to the hero felt better to me than Whisper constantly antagonizing the hero while also somehow considering them a friend, and Thunder seeming to hate the hero from the day they met just because he was strong, the only reason I didn't murder Whisper in the arena was because I was shooting for a good playthrough, and I knew that Thunder would just be more annoying if I killed his sister...what I did NOT know was that after showing his sister mercy in the arena he would later try and attack and kill me anyways to reinforce how insecure he is over his sister's reputation.
I made it past the arena, then just got burnt out between dealing with the siblings, and also the combat and gameplay being fairly uninteresting as my character had the shield will power, and a ton of will potions, so the worst a mistake could get me was maybe my shield going down for a second and getting a minor scratch on my character, most of the time though combat was either button mashing the attack button of choice while being invincible, or using force push to make it impossible for enemies to reach melee range and get my multiplier to the most ridiculous number possible before the fighting stopped.
The only thing I'd change with your ratings is I'd deduct 1 point in both the character and combat department for Fable 1, I know it's often considered to be the best in the series, but I couldn't even make it half way through the story before taking a break, meanwhile I'm still binging all the content Fable 2 has to offer.
Also, I'd add 1 point in characters for Hannah/Hammer and Lucien's diary in Fable 2. Hannah has actual character growth, although fast-tracked, her song in Fable 2 was honestly a highlight to my experience so far, and seeing her go from a pacifistic self-aware monk to fulfilling her potential as hero of strength was something I could honestly relate to in my own way, I like how self-reflective her character is and how she's one of the truly kind-hearted characters in the whole game while still filling her role as a powerhouse in a believable way. Also her exchange with Theresa on the "briefing" for the quest to get Lucien's diary was honestly amazing with both how Hammer can't catch a break, and how savage Theresa is for going from basically saying that she absolutely can't be allowed to be a pacifist, to saying that she lacks the tact and delicacy to deal with what she's sending the hero to do. I haven't gotten the chance to see much of Garth yet since I've taken a break from the main mission to see some of the side activities, but Reaver is pretty much iconic in the Fable series at this point.
Bro when I first approached Hannah and heard her singing "down by the reeds" I just stopped and let my character stand there for 20 minutes before I actually engaged her
I love Fable Anniversary myself.
All my nostalgia is tied to fable 2 and 3. The music in fable 2 is forever stuck in my head and I love it
Your hilarious! Best fable content creator! Just subscribed and can’t wait for more
Oh wow, thanks! I’m glad you liked it :)
I've never played Fable. Was younger around the time Fable 3 came out and was occupied with halo and skyrim. But basing on this video fable 3 is the worst of the 3?
Haha yeah, I would say most Fable fans would agree Fable 3 is the worst. It’s not a bad game at all, I still loved it, but 1 and 2 are better imo. Thanks for watching :)
It's honestly all just a matter of opinion. My favorite is 1, my girlfriends favorite is 2, and my brothers favorite is 3. And we all have different reasons as to why. So until you play the series its hard to really say
I actually came in to the series in reverse order.
I started with 3 and went to 2 and fable anniversary came out shortly after I finished 2 so I played that.
I would say 3 is the weakest, the menu system is god awful (or rather the lack there of), the sanctuary was a horrible idea, there was even less variety of weapons and even more simplified game-play and the experience system was so simplified it was basically a milestone system with the option to choose within that milestone, with literal gates blocking your progression.
I will say fable 3 has the best atmosphere even if I don't like the industrial setting and I agree with the video that the characters are the best, I mean you have freaking John Cleese of Monty Python fame as your butler, how can you beat that?
And if you get as charmed with 1 and 2 as a lot of us did there is still good to be found with fable 3.
I would recommend playing 3 on PC because the 360 version doesn't run amazingly, though sadly if you go with the PC version you are pretty much forced to get it from less legitimate sources.
It is not on any digital storefront on PC anymore and yeah you can get a physical copy but you will be paying nearly full price for a nearly 10 year old game and you won't be able to get any of the dlc because there is literally no support to download it legitimately.
Not to mention the physical version might not even work because it is a Games For Windows Live title and I don't know if there is a fan patch.
I hope with fable getting another shot the series will have a proper place on PC.
Fable 2 never came to pc and I would still love a port one day and making 3 available to buy again would be great and fixing fable Anniversary's horrible mod tool would also be amazing.
Sorry for the small novel, I don't get to talk Fable much because none of my friends play it so I had a lot to say. lol
@@ramue5749 Anniversary or fable 3 or which one better for pc
@@utsavbasu1048 Anniversary, easily.
“Saddest anime death ever” 😂😂
That scene from Matilda ... 😂 I love that movie lol.
I beated fable, and it was way too short, so should I buy fable 2? I don't care about the little stuff like getting married or anything like that, I don't even care about the story all I care about is if I can do whatever I want in the story like fable (eg, killing stupid whisper) and if beating the shit out of people is as fun as fable.
Yes 2 is fun and fluid
Both games are extremely special to me, but F2 wins for me, hands down. The game was downright beautiful. I felt like every other medieval-themed game at the time was dark, gloomy, and downright depressing. Fable 2 felt so different. It was bright and colorful.
The game was definitely flawed, sure, but the music and atmosphere was amazing. I especially loved having the dog. My absolute favorite parts were the demon doors. Kicking the chicken into that one's mouth was extremely clever. "Winter Lodge" was my absolute favorite area. It also hit me hard when the one door requires you to have a wife and then makes a statement about love before asking "what's it like?".
Nothing beats hearing the bower lake theme for the first time when you step out into the charming world of Fable to begin your tale.
Being said, Jack of Blades was the better villain. You can definitely tell Fable 2 was rushed, especially at the end. The final confrontation was funny, but pretty disappointing once you realize you've spent all game leveling up and getting ready for absolutely nothing.
Fable 2 was also the first game I experienced actual emotions. seeing the grave of my dog after he sacrificed himself for me was absolutely heart-wrenching. It felt so empty running around alone afterwards.
There's also a demon door called "Marcus Memorial" that has a really sad story behind it. Inside there's a pretty poem that is somewhat random and personal. It broke my heart when I later discovered it was dedicated to a developer's son who tragically passed away in an accident while they were making the game.
Crazy how fable doesn’t have as strong a following as it feels like it has
because its been so long since the last fable game released
For me is really boils down to what type of fantasy you like. medieval or steam punkish. Both are amazing games
is fable 3 a bad game? i only play the first one in 2007 (and not all unfortunatly)
Fable 3 is a good game but most fans think the first two are better, that’s all :)
Its bad, dont believe him.
In 3 you can literally beat it pressing only y to shoot your starting gun and never die or come close to dying.
My 6 year old nephew beat the game in 2 days its so easy and he had school, chores and homework to do.
The ending in 3 sucks so badly, there isn't even a boss fight. Well there is but the creature is so easy to kill you think its just a new trash mob. But you realize it was a boss because the game ends with a very anti climactic cutscene and there was only 1 of that enemy.
2 and 3 both have 1/5th the magic and skills the first game does and any weapon other than a gun or sword is too slow and is blocked 90% of the time. It has less game mechanics in both 2 and 3 as well. But don't worry they added farting on people. Thats way cooler than having more than 10 hours content and more than 1/5th the skills and abilities fable 1 has...
The reviewer says it himself, you can beat 2 in less than 10 hours, it sucked, at its best it was alright. Thats with side the quests too but your dog did half of em for you because he would warn you of enemies and find all the "hidden" treasure for you. Characters were alright I guess. The actual game sucked tho. Super Mario on the super Nintendo is harder than 2 and 3 combined. But its better than fable 1 😆 🤣 😂
Fable got worse and worse with every subsequent game. Not to mention how much money they tried to pull from you like 10$ for black dye or needing to play with 20 different friends as a pre requisite to upgrade your weapon, and literally I mean literally get you to get your friends to buy the game to unlock equipment because your Morphing weapons spawned in looking like and having shit stats.
Here is my nephews review of fable 3: This game fucking sucked uncle! Babies can beat it!
Hes right so I didn't rat him out to his mum for swearing. The end of 3 pissed off a 6 year old because it was so easy and the game sucked. It pissed me off because I payed for it and a half illiterate child was able to beat it playing with 1 hand.
In the end Peter Molyneux made 2 games for his kids and spent way too much money on graphics and voice actors and far too little in the actual game. Fable 1 is the only good fable the others are shit and at best alright.
@@gage824 thats a lie. Thats a big lie
Fable 3 was my first game of fable and it was by far one of the best games I’ve ever played. Don’t let others biased people make u think it’s bad
@@darkslivery-_-9096 no its not a lie. It was the most anti climactic easy to play game ever.
made me spit tea multiple times in the 1st minute I'm subbed.
Fable 2 opens with high definition bird shit spinning slo-mo shot. 11/10
Fable 2, the setting and the story is just perfect to me. Also love the guns and the outfits!
Fable 1 > Fable III > Fable II
Fable II's villain kills the story for me
I'm playing though Fable 3 rn, and these first two just look miles better, damn...
Ikr so much wasted potential
Never seen so much since Gohan
i like fable 2 more because i like the guns because i think they are pretty neck and neck in quality
Great video, man!
They should make the whole collection
Fable 1's combat is easily a 10/10 when playing for the first time. Specifically on pc
Grew up playing all three of these games, have very fond memories of them. I'll be honest in saying that I think Fable 1 hasn't aged particularly well, and it's controls/combat are extremely clunky. Fable 2 was far better.
I basically grown up with fable 2 and 3 but only play the first one like 6 mouths again becouse it was really hard to find the first one when I was younger and I can happily say that I agree with u
Fable 2 Is better but fable 1 was Amazing for it's time
I like Fable 1 better than 2, because in Fable 2, it makes people scare away from me when I was become evil, so I hate Fable 2. Fable 1 is the best for me
Not just a bad person if you picked the money in fable 2, you clearly don't know how to get and spend money. Fable 2 and 3 was almost too easy to get money in ^^
On another note: 4:40 I personally don't think "this game is only X hours long" is a way to rate a game. Sure, it sucks if it's really really short. But in this case "this game can be beaten in 10 hours" I would say, can, but should you? Because if you clear any Fable game in less then 20 hours, then you haven't really played it, in my opinion :) Besides, almost every game can be beaten in less then 2 hours, you just need to know how. (referring to speedrunning ofc)
Have you ever noticed that Fable 1 and 2 have very similar story structures?
I crave a new Fable
I loved taking heads in the lost chapters.
Let's be honest, man's at some point turned into a rap God
I think it'd be cool if you did a mini series on this.
1 v 2
2 v 3
1 v 3
1 v 2 v 3
the HP bit earned a sub lol
Only play fable TLC but thinking of trying fable 2 then fable 3. Being evil just to easy in fable 1 I loved the story in fable 1. But can’t compare if haven’t tried fable 2 so will get it.
fable 1 had the coolest gameplay. you could customise your magic and weapon combinations to awesome levels. you could flip through your spells and use them in tandem with melee and archery and it was fantastic. in fable 2 you chose 1 button and then pressed it until you won. while rolling
Thank you for the very informative video, i've never played any of these games before and after watching your video i've decided to play The Witcher 3 instead !
😂😂😂 that’s actually funny lol
Let's hope fable 4 will take place at the same time as fable 1 or 2
fable 2 and 3 are really close, so it really doesn't matter
Just based off of this video I think Artstyle looks so much better in Fable 1
wish i could erase my memory to experience fable TLC again
got to be fable 1 i can play it for hours and never get bored its a simple game that doesn't take its self so seriously
Fable 1-TLC is the only true Fable. The rest are lighthearted spinoffs.
Fable The Lost Chapter is the best game in the franchise despite it being old, the charm it gave me and many other people was and still is unbeatable
This. Thank you for being an intelligent and knowledgeable human being!
I missed armor but outfits are just as fun because I can look however I want without nerfing myself
I honestly don't care for Fable 4.
What i really want is Fable 2 not for Xbox.
I love 1, TLC and 3.
WhyTF is still an Xbox exclusive after many other games have been ported on Steam from different console?
Fable 2 looks so dreamy and charming.... and the Morality Alignment + Purity Alignment is something i need to play before dying.
Fable 2 no questions asked is the best one
Fable had the better villain in Jack of Blades but Fable 2 game play Is amazing for the time.
To save you guys 11 minutes of your life basically he likes Fable 2 more for no logical reason, he just likes it more you're welcome.
I stated many reasons, maybe rewatch the video with sound on this time, buddy.
It's fine if you like Fable 2 better just don't claim it's logic cause I'm sure you know that Fable 2 is super watered down and easy. Nothing ever presents a challenge, there's like half the spells and items. You also literally gave the world a higher score just cause you can swim like what how is that logic. You can like what you want but just remember your opinion is not logical and it doesn't have to be.
@@RockyPunk Fable 1-TLC is the only true Fable. The rest are lighthearted spinoffs.
