[Nick]

It's a rubbish one is what it is!

Anyhow, as I started playing at about 2am I haven't got all that far. Highlights...

-Hit a little girl after she asked me to find her teddy bear

-Hit the little boy that had her bear and gave the bear to a bully

-belched at a tramp

Ooh, Arseface Nick. Just wait til you marry that bitch Lady Grey. Inevitable, but do yourself a favour after and have her 'accidentally hacked to death' by the guards. You won't miss her. Trust me, the skanky tart is high maintenance. You're better off with a local barwench (or 'dude') from Oakvale or Bowerstone South, they're more lovey dovey. And stay away from too much beer, believe me, a fat fukcer of a hero is no pretty sight.

Come ON!!! [does *bad alignment* pelvic thrust]

A friend of mine went through several flipflopping stadia when he played Fable. He had high hopes for it, and even though I warned him that there was much division over it, his enthusiasm never waned. When he got the game, he was enthralled with it for a short time, a week or so. After that, he seemed to be bored and disappointed by it. It was at that time that I saw him picking it up again, and he began to get into it some more again. But then he finished the game, and he was severely disappointed with the ending, and in retrospect the whole game. He seems to really dislike it now.

Now I can't vouch for these opinions, but it's just what he told me. In his own saying he just 'had nothing to do anymore' once the game ended, which in itself appeared to be crappy and ill-done.

But, hey, those graphics, ey?

Meh, he's right. Once the story proper ends you really do have nothing more to do, at least in a substantial sense. You can go around and waste balverines and hobbes, get drunk with villagers, play landlord and polygamist, have endless sex with your spouse, pillage and steal, give the finger to everyone, whatever. It's just that, nothing more. Too bad the game didn't come with a random mission generator.

But Oy! wot about them graphics, eh?
