Comments on: Playing Fable… http://www.kgadams.net/2007/05/01/playing-fable Technology, computer games, MMOGs, science...and other nerdy stuff Fri, 29 Aug 2008 06:35:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Kelly Adams http://www.kgadams.net/2007/05/01/playing-fable#comment-9987 Kelly Adams Sat, 05 May 2007 05:15:09 +0000 http://www.kgadams.net/2007/05/01/playing-fable/#comment-9987 Nice riff on Oblivions' comment, Chris ;) Basically, the "sex" is a blank screen with some oohing and aahing. What gets the game it's mature rating is the very fact that they imply any kind of sexuality. If it just had blood, guts, and horror, it would likely have a teen rating. Story-wise, I'm pretty satisfied with it. Not exactly "deep", but entertaining enough. I've been playing for about 13 hours so far...I think I'm approaching the end game, though. I'm not sure what happens then...whether its "game over", or whether I get to go back to completing the little quests that I might have missed earlier.... Nice riff on Oblivions’ comment, Chris ;)

While fundamentally i find it lacks in terms of story which is always a big element for me... as a time waster and what not it has its place. I, for example have two wives and a 'partner', the entirely not hunky school teacher. The story seems to split too... I have the ability to woo the prominent lady in town or the little peasant girl by the gate. After you chose one you can't go for the other. The game tracks all your encounters too, plus your sexual orientation. The sex is certainly anti-climactic. *g* Plus a wife or partner is worth more as a sacrifice to dark gods, aside from the money you can earn. The jury's still out on this one for me.... it's short, that's one thing. But I haven't put it down so... we'll compare notes sometime when we both finish. I have been playing it too.
