Fable: The Lost Chapters vs Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
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).
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the sequel game and once more you become the mysterious Agent 47, this time you are dragged back in after leaving the life of an assassin and your past is coming back to haunt you.Once more your disguises and choice of method have an impact on the success and overall gameplay. You enter an area and can attack or get to your target in any way you wish, there is no one set path for you to follow and it makes for a really nice game. The quieter you do your assassination the better the rewards and higher ranks you can achieve. Add in the plotline and a huge range of options and suddenly you have a very full game with a lot of fun to be found.
