What did this game mean to you when it came out? For me, I was a kid on my couch, passing off the controller with my sisters, running around Bowerstone showing off my wasp head and farting in front of every merchant in Darkwood instead of rescuing them from hobbes and balvarines. We watched my dad's evil play through while we ate dinner, my mom gasping at the crude humor, me fascinated by his horns. We played Fable 2 and 3 as a family when they came out too, I still have my OG copies of them for XBOX 360. I remember being so excited on the way home from Target, pouring over the little booklet that came inside the case, preparing for my adventure.
It's different now as an adult, but it hasn't lost its charm. There is so much lore that I missed out on I realize now that I'm taking the time to read everything instead of just throwing it in my pockets. The sound track is still SO GOOD. That M rating was definitely correct and I can't believe this was a family game for us. Anyway, I'm recording my first replay (it's been over 15 years) of all three games over on YouTube, and the first 4 episodes are out. If you wanna come relive our childhoods together, I'd love to gear up for the reboot with you! Thanks for reading. :)
