Dwarf Fortress vs Fable 3
Dwarf Fortress
Dwarf Fortress is one of the most unique and massive fantasy game ever made using only ASCII characters and colors. The game is completely open world in the sense that you are given the freedom to play as an adventurer and set off alone or with other adventurers on an exciting journey above or below ground (or both) to seek glory, fame and riches, or to settle down and help develop your very own dwarven outpost where you can then build a fortress, establish a barony, and in general, order your dwarven subjects around. Aside from the obviously different "art style" used, the freedom of choice, and the amazing amount of details in its gameplay, the game is also unique in its world building. The virtual world created is not only randomly generated with distinct civilizations with detailed histories, hundred of points of interests like towns and caves, as well as a flourishing nature, which includes both flora and fauna.With so many amazing features packaged into a simple-looking game, it is no wonder why Dwarf Fortress is a game that has inspired a wide variety of other modern games, both indie and big triple-A ones, until today. Due to its size, you might feel daunted to dive into a game like this, but once you've learned the basics, you will find yourself fully immersed in this completely open world of symbols and colors.
Fable 3
Fable 3 is, unfortunately, the last RPG in the franchise and it goes out with a bang. In this game, you'll not play as a mere random adventurer but instead, you get to become so much more - the leader of a revolution to take control of Albion and defend it from a relentless threat! As a ruler, your every choice will have a more drastic impact on the virtual world you'll be playing in, as well as on your subjects.Fable 3 was previously available on PC via Steam, but somehow, the game was taken offline and now is only available on Xbox, to the dismay of many fans worldwide. However, if you do own an Xbox, you might want to get this game as well, especially if you're a fan of the series.
