You begin the Fable as a young boy trying to earn enough money to buy his Sister a birthday present by doing three good deeds. Sounds simple enough right? However, like Lionheads previous offering "Black and White," how you actually earn the money depends entirely on you. Do you take a bribe when you stumble across an adulterous husband or do you run and tell the wife about her no-good spouse and earn a good deed? Or do you even take the bribe and tell the wife anyway? Every action, even so early on will slowly build up your character and the type of person you become. Even though the initial childhood sequences/choices will be the same every time you play the game it does set you up quite nicely to learn the simple control system and the good and bad alignment factors.
