 Good stuff July 2, 2010
xflvandamme (PA, USA)
I don't want to rehash much of the same stuff people say here because I love the idea that you can play this game for the PC. I will say this though.
The mouse/keyboard combination was a very nice touch. Considering that most console games that have pc versions released just treat the mouse as if its a joystick, Fable does things right by actually making combat on the PC version enjoyable.
Outside of this fact most of what needs to be said has been said by the other commentators. This is a terrific game and I would recommend anyone with a PC buy it and enjoy the fable experience.
fable with a few hours of extra stuff February 18, 2010

this is pretty much fable with a few more hours of gameplay. i wasnt able to find the new armor and only a few new weapons. but thats because i dont really look for the demon doors silver chests, ext but i enjoy it anyway it doesnt have much replay value to me since its so linear
Fable:The Lost Chapter Review November 9, 2009
Becky Miller (Lansdale Pa)
As a former World of Warcraft junkie( it was once referred to by a friend as "crack for nerds") i was looking for something that gave a similar experience. I found a great game here. It took some time to get used to the controls- i hit mt "go to sleep" button quite a few time on my keyboard in the middle of a fight- weapon selection is through your delete and page down buttons- spells are great but you use you middle scroll to get to the - movement is through wasd or arrow control(takes getting used to) and quite easy to forget between game plays.Overall nice storyline-lots of game play and some rather tongue in cheek moments.
 Great PC RPG. August 12, 2009
Mr. Jason P. Brown (Antioch, OH)
Fable the lost chapters is a great RPG to play. It is the "Good vs. Evil" model that has been used in games from the the knights of the old republic series, black and white series, and mass effect(all great games).You actions and decisions determine the way you look to the power of you spells. You can help the Hero along your chosen path with bright or dark armors and getting tattoos, both can push alignment to ether way. The hero appearance change depending on your alignment, but Fable splits off those and other RPGS with character aging thou out the story, watching him grow from boy to teen, to man, to a old great hero(or Villon).The quest system is great, with two types of optional quest and one option that moves the story along. The only problem I had with the quest is that I wanted more of them. I would like to have more weapon and armor choices, I have seen more weapons in other games that Fable, even with the lost chapters there still less. The control is great on a PC. You have a chose of using the WASD or using the arrow keys, each haves its own control setup, and using the numbers keys as hot keys for spells seems better than having to use a xbox controller. One other problem I have with the game is the use of "lost chapters", it should be just chapter. Only having one series of quest in one new region to me seems like one chapter. At lest the should have add two more chapters, may be leading to the hero's journey to legend, and I don't think they had enough quest and weapons like an mention be for in a add on. I got Fable The lost chapters So I can go into Fable 2 on the 360 knowing what happen before, and too see if I would like it. This game has found is self on my list of the best RPGS that I have played, and I will be getting Fable 2 soon. Any hardcore RPG fan Will love this game.

Suckiest pile of suck controls and/or bugs I've run across in a game.
(imagined) snippets from a developer explaining the controls to a (probably equally imaginary) tester:
You want to target an enemy? Hit space. Oh, there was a friendly between you and the bad guy beating on him? Well, any friendly in combat is automatically an enemy, even if it's your escort quest mob, right?
You have three followers you want to have stay out of combat range? Well, you need to target each of them individually so you can give each one his very own wait command as stuff runs towards you. And yes, of course they should cower because you didn't sheath your weapon in the middle of a combat zone while you did so.
Target the spellcaster knocking your combat multiplier and health bar down you from across the room? Why would you want to do that? It's so much neater to kill the melee riff raff between you first!
Yes, even someone specializing in will should be forced to equip the bow to target something at range, because you *need* that bow to aim a fireball! And of course switching weapons should drop target. It's not like you can still see them the whole time, is it?
Why would you want to be able to see what you're shooting arrows at? You can just guess where it is, first person view is overrated!
Sidle? What's that? No, no, no, why would you want to move sideways when you have something targeted? You want to move *towards* stuff you're aiming at, always, even though there's a tree/box/house/whatever in the way!
There may be a worthwhile game under here, but I gave up a few quests in because the controls are so bad. Maybe the Xbox version is better, I'd give that one a shot.
