Is Fable the open ended RPG of tomorrow the developers said it would be? Sort of. The story is fairly linear, but it doesn’t force you through it. You’re allowed to wander through the game at your own pace, gaining renown and building a name for yourself or just getting drunk and flirting with the tavern help every night. Combat is fun and fast paced, but it gets monotonous after a while if you don’t try experimenting with new abilities. Fable is a good RPG and is a great addition to the Xbox lineup of RPGs. If your interested in exploring the nature of good and evil in a video game and don’t mind wearing out your X button, give it a try. It’s still the only game I’ve played where I was able to marry the barmaid and the mayor of town on the same day!
