Fables

The love-child of Peter Molyneux, Fable offers a different take on the genre. In the colorful world of Albion, your future is shaped not by dialogue, but the actions you take. Murder, and you will be feared; save people, and you will be lauded. Swinging a hammer results in muscle growth, magic in glowing facial runes, and death in scars. Fable is a coming of age story where you character actually grows. You begin as a young boy who witnesses a traumatic event, and end the type of hero you want to be. Along the way you'll experience a fun combat system, memorable characters, humor, and deep emotion. You'll find a wife, drink, kill, and gamble, all the while exploring the ageless environments. Despite its flaws, the RPG category wouldn't be complete without this loveable title.
