The decision-making power to shape the personality of the protagonist in a video game was the last significant feature of the evolution of Western role-playing game. Fable And it was the best promoter.
The conversion of this idea, now hyper-inflated, from theory to practice, however, is very difficult. Fable And it is the greatest demonstration.
Unlike the critics, I do not think about Fable as an unripe fruit waiting to ripen as in the sequel. I think as Fable a project that misses the root and, therefore, evolves degenerating.
We start from the positive aspects: Fable looks good. Graphically, one of the top of the production x-box, the scenarios (as canons) are inspired epic atmosphere and immerse the player, and light-hearted at the same time, the game. Atmosphere that is allied to a soundtrack elegant, idyllic, never intrusive. Aesthetic quality braking only dall'inespressività face (no small issue, given the massive interaction with the inhabitants of Albion). But in line with the poverty of plot and flat characters in it. So far, nothing bad, but when you pick up the pad begins the agony. When we realize that the author's highly original and ambitious ideas become a deadly double-edged sword. The game lets you play ... well, you play alone. Never seen anything more straightforward, simple and driven. The level of defiance and almost laughable (only arena you tuck your sleeves a little), there are puzzles, exploration either. Totally neglected in favor of a mere outline of a maddening character customization (from nicknames to tattoos), a moral responsibility that does not involve, approaches based on relational mechanisms and idiotic drivers (and unnecessary). In short, a brilliant source of ideas (which also taboo breaking videogame, like sex and alcohol) as ends in themselves, decontextualized narrative progression. To debunk the myth of credibility in the world of Fable. Suffice it to notice the sickly cries on our behalf, endlessly repeated, leaving the mouth of population and who often are the result of entr'actes of bleak comedy by accident. More false than this.
A question arises: why, today, Fable 3 is one of the most anticipated? Perhaps people prefer to choose between the sideburns or a goatee instead of playing.
