Fable: The Lost Chapters vs Titan Quest
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).
Titan Quest
Titan Quest is an innovative mythological action-RPG that pits you into an epic quest of good vs evil set in the beautifully-designed lands of ancient Greece, Egypt and Asia. In this game, the mighty Titans have escaped their supposely eternal prison to cause unspeakable chaos on the inhabitants of Earth but unfortunately, the Gods aren't able to interfere directly and put a stop to the Titans' rampage. Instead, they searched for a hero who can help save the world - you!With many legendary heroes like Agamemnon and Achilles accompanying you in various legs of your journey, you will need to hone your fighting skills so you can defeat all the enemies that come your way, be it the famed villains and creatures of Greek mythology or even the Titans themselves. You'll also get to completely customize your character from head to toe. Interestingly, aside from its map editor where you can create whole new maps to adventure in, the game even has a multiplayer mode where you can group up with up to six other players for some cooperative gameplay.
Titan Quest is an impressive specimen of a game where you get to play out all the incredible mythlogical and legendary stories you've heard countless times in your youth while being in the shoes of the hero himself! That said, some players have reported having troubles with game-breaking bugs in the Steam version. Thus, if you can experience the game on any other platform, maybe you might want to try those instead.
