Fable 2 vs Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable 2
Fable 2 is the sequel to the incredibly popular Fable RPG series set in the land of Albion. Offering more of the same and yet with some nice improvements such as getting a pet dog, the game is more immersive than ever. Craft your own narrative as you forge your own path as a fighter, a gunslinger or a mage. You can even build relationships with various NPCs, fall in love and start your own family. And of course, the franchise's hallmark feature - every action you make will have a consequence... some of which can be pretty funny.Fable 2 is a brilliant follow-up to the original game and does the franchise justice. However, the game is somehow not available for PC gamers unlike the previous game, and this can come as a disappointment for many fans. That said, if you got an Xbox, you might want to get this game.
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).
