I never had the opportunity to play Fable on the Xbox and perhaps that’s for the best. Fable: The Lost Chapters is the PC version of the game, and it’d be disingenuous to mark it up as a straight port because it most certainly is not. Featuring more story and side quests, as well as new regions, spells and equipment, The Lost Chapters is arguably going to be the game that the original Fable should have been.

For those not aware of Fable’s basic premise, it’s rather simple; you guide a character from childhood to fame (or infamy). The childhood and adolescence parts are canned, short sequences, but after graduating from the Hero’s Guild, your character is free to do as he wishes. This isn’t the mind-boggling open-endedness of an Arcanum or Morrowind, but neither is it a firmly guided path.
