Gameguru Mania adds its own revealing review to the ever-growing number of sites publishing their own impression's of Lionhead Studios' celebrated "Fable: The Lost Chapters" for the PC - this time Fable garners an overall 88% rating...
Much of the early part of the game will take place in the Heroes Guild where you'll get accustomed to the ins and outs of the controls, how to embark on quests, the inventory system etc. The Heroes' Guild offers story quests, side quests and missions of the standard flavors - kill, find, protect, rescue, etc. Once a mission is taken, you have the option of making boasts - wagering money on not just completing the task but doing it in style. Leveling up a character is one of the many key components found in any RPG and Fable is no different. During the game, you collect green experience orbs by killing enemies, which can be accumulated and used to boost one of three ability disciplines: physical, skill (stealth), and will (magic). Physical enhancements improve your strength, and toughness, Skill makes you more cunning, a better barter, and quiet thief, faster, and stealthier. Will has everything to do with magic: how much magic you have, what kind of spells you can cast, etc. There's also a fourth, general category in which you can use towards any discipline you choose. |
