Fable 1 is among the best games ever in my opinion. Still holds up decent as well. Insanely good atmosphere.

Fable is a very well put together game and I spent hours with it and had a lot of fun.

That said, a cursory comparison of the game features with the initial press releases from molineaux shows the kind of disconnect that exists from his ideas to his executions.

It's not bad to have a daydreamer setting the overall project vision, but anything he say at any time of the development process is to be treated just like that, as an internal vision document unrelated to the final product.

I mean, it’s pretty good, but I wouldn’t describe it as the best game ever.

It did have a lot of at the time revolutionary ideas though.

True. And I foolishly have some hopes for the next Fable, but it's been 20 years and I'm not even the targeted audience anymore.

Who else gets a bit emotional knowing their personal gaming enjoyment peaked 20 years ago in front of a CRT?

Sigh. I miss those stupid point and click adventure games so much.

I hoped for a closure to the monkey island series for so long. And after getting it I’m full of regret. Nothing they did would have made me happy. Nostalgia is what it is.
