Fable: The Lost Chapters vs Soulcalibur: Lost Swords
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).
Soulcalibur: Lost Swords
Soulcalibur: Lost Swords is an extension to the series where you play one of 3 characters on a quest to recover shards of weapons and upgrade and improve your own. With a story to follow and new characters to open up as you play there is a continuing arc that grabs you and brings you in. With the fighting style gameplay that the sage is renowned for and characters you know and love (or hate) you are off on a new adventure.Once you choose your character you are able to set out, once chosen they are the only character you can play until you find keys and items to open up more. There is an option for your enemies to drop items you can use, and you can fully customize your avatar as you play. Though there are some limitations over more full versions of the game, for a free to play title there is a lot of fun to be found here, and of course more of the ongoing story too.
