At its core, the original Fable was a short, but extremely entertaining action RPG where players could follow the path of good or evil. But what really set the game apart was that you could grow your character in a number of ways, change their appearance to your liking and affect the world of Albion with your actions. The game didn't offer you character generation, race selection or a specific class, but beneath the veneer of a simple character system was an interesting blend of swordplay, ranged combat, and offensive and defensive magics. Add to that a world that reacted to how your character conducted themselves and you get a full blown and fun gaming experience. There's no denying that the original Fable is the best role-playing game released on the Xbox to date.
