"Your health is low. Do you have any potions or food?"
Every. Single. Fight.

I really really wish Black and white got some more games, i had such fond memories of the first and second game and there is so much they can expand on

13:18 - Tbf, this is also addressed. He originally saw that you have the potential to defeat Jack of Blades. He even gets very excited during your final exam, especially when you do the archery section, he says something akin to, "Yes, that's it! Now, strike lightning at me". At that point, he's stacking his chips on you. But later, he lost hope some time after your final test because Jack was so powerful and so on track to achieve his goals. He thought Jack couldn't be stopped. After you defeat Maze, he realises that you have reached a high enough level of power that Jack no longer seems so unbeatable. You reignite his hope in that fight. THAT'S what he's proud of. You brought him back to that feeling he had when he tested you in your youth

What gets me is that the Heroes' Guild will have quests for both good and evil outcomes on the same notice board. So you'll go over there and see a quest reading "Help! Bandits are raiding our shipments and we need protection! The Merchants' Guild", and then next to it is another quest reading "LOL, let's go kill some merchants, Sincerely: The Bandits".

It's a bit odd, is all I'm saying.

[armelior]

Good ol' early 2000s morality system : be a saint or be a demon, no in-between. This game just makes it more obvious

[ManiacMonkboon]

Fable, Morrowind, Jade Empire and NFL 2K5 are game's that I still play to this day on my OG Xbox. 😊

WHAT A GAME! i used to play this when i was around 17 yo, now im 36 and fondly remember the whimsical music and magical vibe. I absolutely loved this game and im happy to see it come to life again, with the aniversary edition and other reviewers talking about it. Great video! Loved it!

If you learn the summon spell and the assassin rush spell you can glitch through the floor in the guild room where the sword of aeons is and pick it up at the beginning of the game.

[unrighteous]

Fun fact: The Lost Chapters nerfed The Sword of Aeons to 230 damage from a whopping 550. This was likely to bring it down to the level of Avo's Tear to balance good and evil.

I actually prefer the Lost Chapters over the Anniversary edition. It just looks nicer overall, even if Anniversary is technically superior.

[MisterGugu]

I feel like I'm the only person who wants a fable 2 steam release lol

[CMDR-Cody]

Dude I played so much Fable growing up.

[SgtCroaker]

Many fond memories with this game. I remember buying it in 2004, not really knowing what it was about. It just looked neat on the cover and sounded like fun from the back cover. I don't think my cousin and I turned off my Xbox for weeks. We just kept playing Fable in shifts. I think I did 4 playthroughs back-to-back.

[streetmark]

theres so much background lore hidden away I wish they’d expanded on that more and kept the hero’s guild around in the sequels instead of what they did

[hopethishelps]

Crazy how the townspeople, economy, day/night cycle and little details are light years better than games now

[spencero]

What a blast from the past. I own the anniversary edition but haven't gotten around to playing through it again. Something about Pathfinder keeps getting in my way. On that note though, still waiting on news that you've followed my advice and bought a motorcycle! Great video my dude 🤘

[Spitefulrish]

I was 14 when this game came out and I have very fond memories of it. I replayed the anniversary edition when that released. This was the best of the Fables.

I’m hoping the new Fable will be solid.

[Logan_]

The best RPG ever made in my opinion. Absolute perfection. If you haven't ever played through it, and are reading this, PLEASE do.

[DrasticSkuba]

I remember in the original (and I think The Lost Chapters too) that the save system allowed you to cheese the Hobbe Cave quest to obtain unlimited silver keys via the Hero Save function. Dig up the silver key at the old lady's cottage during the opening of the Hobbe Cave quest, do a Hero Save, then quit the game. It would save your Hero's inventory but NOT the world state. So the key would be in your pocket + still at the dig spot. Rinse and repeat. Doesn't work in the Anniversary edition though

[CancerCleric]

People have been criticizing the style and looks of the characters from the upcoming reboot, but they must not have been paying attention. Fable has always been gritty, chubby, unclean, "ugly" etc. It's part of the whimsical style.

I'm glad they aren't making it as clean and girly (and creepy) as anime or your typical 5 o'clock shadow hero guy world. Fable has charm and personality.
