Dungeon Siege 2 vs Fable: The Lost Chapters
Dungeon Siege 2
Dungeon Siege 2 is the sequel to the dungeon crawler game, Dungeon Siege, where it plunges you in a whole new storyline that will see you saving the world once again. In this game, the magic that has been spread out throughout the world is now being called back by an ancient being whose strength is on the rise and only you can stop it. The game has greatly improved on every aspect of its original by fleshing out its gameplay with fully customizable characters, generous amount of loot drops, challenging and compelling quests as well as plenty of hidden secrets for you to find; as well as its graphics and soundtracks.If you are interested to try the Dungeon Siege series, many would strongly recommend giving its second installment a try rather than the first. It's really a lot better than the previous in many ways and it might just make you fall in love with the series after you've done with the game. Sadly, the only unfortunate part is that the Steam version doesn't support multiplayer... still.
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost Chapters is one of the most groundbreaking adventure RPG back in the day. Why was it so unique? Well, the game is designed with one major concept in mind - your every action in the game, including which dialogue options you chose and even how you treat people, will affect your reputation, which in turn will change the skills you have access to and also your character's appearance (like a reverse Dorian Gray) as he ages or collect scars from battling enemies. So, in other words, the character development is beyond impressive. The game doesn't really penalize you for your actions though, but there are consequences for every good or bad actions that you do and these consequences will affect the world around you, giving you the sort of freedom that was pretty much unheard of back then.In some way, Fable can be regarded as a legend-creator - a game in which you can literally craft your own legend by forging your own path. It also has a rather whimsical tone to it, making the adventures you embark on fun and lighthearted. Of course, there are plenty of exciting storylines to uncover and hidden secrets for you to find as well.
Fable is one of the most popular RPG series of all time and if you love RPGs, this is definitely one game you'll want to get (or maybe you can get the Fable Anniversary Edition instead - despite its flaws, it does have better graphics).
