Fable: The Lost Chapters vs The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
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).
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is another award-winning title from CD Projekt Red featuring the enigmatic Geralt of Rivia, professional monster slayer. In addition to the franchise's famous non-linear, realisitc and thought-provoking narration, the game offers players the exciting continuation of the storyline right where The Witcher left off, that is by King Foltest's side marching towards the Baroness La Valette's fortress while his mind is constantly being plagued by the insistent need to discover the identity and origins of the Witcher-like assassin who had been defeated by Geralt and had failed to take Foltest's life.With brilliant graphics and epic soundtracks, the game plunge you once again into its immerse world and storyline where every decision you make matters and will change the world as you progress. The game has also revamped its combat system with smoother controls and animation sequences and added a more dynamic and tactical approach to every battle you encounter.
If The Witcher is a great game for you, then you'll love this much improved version, The Witcher 2. Almost every aspect of the game has been reworked for the better, and even if you have not played any game in the series before, you'll be able to appreciate the game as it is. Of course, the enhanced edition contains a whole lot more goodies that you can also explore once you buy the game.
