Is it getting hot in here or is it just that giant fire?

Fable ate the bomb this morning and I’ve already started my fat, evil, and gay quest. This game has a lot of innovations, gay marriage being one of them. It ranks up there as one of the most enjoyable RPGs I’ve played. I wish it had more character development though. The story seemed rushed and I didn’t really feel emotionally connected enough to my family to care when they were in danger.

The combat is interesting. It’s much more complex than most Zelda-type games and it’s cool how much harder it is to fight with heavier weapons. It can be tedious at times, but not too bad. Each foe has a distinct fighting style to adapt to. Being able to take boasts on quests like “finish quest without getting hit”or “finish quest with no armor” gives you the ability to set your own difficulty level.

Overall, a decent 9 game. Not nearly as inspired or detailed as KOTOR, but worth replaying and paying full price for. It also has the best musical score I’ve heard in a long time; video game or otherwise. Really gorgeous stuff.

I’ll write more after I’ve experienced the evil, fat and gay angle.
