About this game

Fable is a role-playing adventure centered on creating a personal life story from childhood to death. Players guide the hero from an inexperienced adolescent toward becoming the most powerful being in the world, choosing between righteousness and evil.

Actions have lasting effects on the character and the world. Feats of strength build muscle, intellectual work increases force of will, gluttony can lead to obesity, sunlight tans the skin, and moonlight can bleach it pale. Battles leave scars, age adds lines of experience, and interactions with people, flowers, and creatures help shape the journey.
