The first game in the Fable series, the initial Fable game focuses on the "Hero of Oakvale."The game starts off peacefully enough, with the main character looking for ways to obtain a gift for his sister's birthday. But once he has, bandits attack his home village of Oakvale and all things go to hell. The youngster hides from the bandits, but his family are not so fortunate. His father is killed, his mother missing and his sister abducted. A member of the Heroes' Guild, Maze, stumbles upon the boy and saves him from certain death. Telling him that there is nothing left for him in Oakvale, Maze takes the boy to the Guild to be raised as a hero.The game was later re-released as Fable: The Lost Chapters, which extended the storyline, added new content, and contained an expansive Playable Epilogue ending to better conclude the game (which is considered canon as of Fable II).Another update was later released in February 2014 for Xbox 360, and on PC via Steam in September 2014. Titled Fable Anniversary, the HD remake has the game's visuals rebuilt entirely, a Fable II/III-inspired control scheme, leaderboards and the update pack The Lost Chapters. The Anniversary trailer can be watched here. | |

And Then John Was a Zombie | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_115d318 | comment |
And Then John Was a Zombie: The bulk of the plot centres around trying to defeat Jack of Blades. At the end of the extended storyline, the Hero can end up becoming Jack of Blades if he doesn't destroy Jack's mask quickly enough. The exact nature of the transformation is unclear, though - the entry that appears in the story logbook is written from Jack's POV, stating that the Hero is now dead, while the ending narrative states that Jack and the Hero are actually Sharing a Body, and you still get a Playable Epilogue. In game, the mask does nothing aside from making you permanently evil aligned and unable to wear helmets. | |

Spell Levels | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_1238c1b2 | comment |
Spell Levels: The Hero can spend extra XP on each spell he knows to improve them up to Level 4. Each level up costs more Mana to use but has a greater effect, such as dealing more damage, affecting more targets, or granting a better status buff. Once a spell is improved, the Hero can no longer cast it at a lower level. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_16972b3c | comment |
Peninsula of Power Leveling: Early on there's the Hobbe Cave. Buy some meats, go in and knock heads for an hour. Rinse and repeat, bonus points if you can get a high combat multiplier. Later on there's a spot in Lychfield Graveyard with infinitely respawning undead. If your Enflame spell is at rank 2 or higher then you can basically just stand in place and rack up the kills. While chasing Jack of Blades, there's also an infinite number of opponents to fight. Even better, the chase ends in the Heroes' Guild. | |

Power-Up Letdown | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_18683fc2 | comment |
Power Up Letdown: Avenger does a respectable amount of damage at 180 and is the 4th most powerful 1 handed weapon in the game but it's locked alway in the final landmass of the game and requires the hero to have collected all 30 silver keys. By the time the hero gets the Avenger he will have already gotten Sword of Aeons/Avo's Tear (the best 1 handed weapon). Avenger also only has 2 augmentation slots, one filled with fire and the other is lightning, see below. The Lightning augmentation is a downplayed example. Most of the game’s tougher enemies are not vulnerable to lightning damage (some are even resistant to it!) except guards, which good heroes will rarely have to fight. Ronok the Axe can only be acquired after marrying Lady Grey, which itself is a long, convoluted side quest. The axe itself only has 2 augmentation slots (compared to the 3 all master weapons have, which you probably have one of at that point), one which is silver. Too bad you acquire it after fighting most of the werewolf expies in the game. The only other enemies vulnerable to silver are undead, which are all very slow and generally only found in Lychfield Graveyard. Wellow's Pickhammer is easily the weakest legendary weapon in the game. Not only is it noticeably weaker than the Cutlass Bleutane, which can be acquired a few minutes later, it's also weaker than some master weapons. On the lower end, the Steel Pickhammer, which deals the exact same damage as every iron weapon (barring the Katana, which is stronger), and less than every other steel weapon. | |

Multiple Endings: Four note Good karma + Good final choice, Good karma + Evil final choice, Evil karma + Good final choice & Evil karma + Evil final choice , though the Updated Re-release continues the story past that, and makes which you chose less important by weakening the Sword of Aeons if you choose to get it, and giving you the identical Avo's Tear if you choose not to. | |

Juxtaposed Reflection Poster: The box art shows the young Hero of Oakvale looking into a pool.

No Sympathy | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_1cf11f13 | comment |
No Sympathy: The lack of sympathy shown to the Hero about his Doomed Hometown and family: Maze teleports him out of Oakvale, away from the destruction of everything he's ever known. When the boy vomits on the ground, either Stress Vomit or Teleportation Sickness, Maze just says he thought he would have a stronger stomach and there is nothing to return to. In the morning, Whisper says he was talking in his sleep and must have had a nightmare, and she and the Guild Master chide him for not getting up earlier. The hero can't say "I'm sorry, I'm a small child who just saw my family, friends and neighbours slaughtered and my hometown destroyed", but no-one seems to give him any thought for it. In the expansion, Briar Rose is quite cavalier about telling the hero to go steal his dead mother's soul to power the Bronze Gate. | |

Maze's version of the Enflame spell is just as powerful as the Hero's: it will quickly destroy any of the Hero's summoned allies, is very difficult to dodge without exploiting Slow Time or invincibility animations from otherwise worthless spells like Battle Charge, will knock over anyone it hits, and hits a huge area around Maze. Much like most players, Maze also spams it constantly when any enemy gets close to him. | |

100% Heroism Rating: Zig-zagged. No matter how gloriously good your actions in the story have been, if you've still murdered enough people to push your Karma Meter deep into the red, the villagers will have no inhibitions about telling you just how they feel about their "hero." On the other hand, that bad karma can be bought off with good deeds as trivial as going on a tofu binge. | |

| Fable (Video Game) / int_345cf4e1 | comment |
No Hero Discount: Store prices are unaffected by your Renown or alignment, which gets very obvious when the only way to get the most powerful weapon is to shell out enough gold to buy a city block. Also, you can be a walking legend in Albion, but you still have to pay the Title Vendor or you'll go down in history as Chicken Chaser. | |

Rapid Aging | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_3687d605 | comment |
Rapid Aging: Your character gets a little older every time you level up. This isn't to scale with anyone else, which lead to somewhat disconcerting scenes where you finally meet your long-lost sister who appears to be a young woman while you're a geezer. If you rank yourself enough, you'll look older than your mother when you finally see her! | |

Boss-Arena Idiocy | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_38d17b6c | comment |
Boss-Arena Idiocy: In the second part of Jack of Blades' fight, he floats in the center of the Chamber of Fate and spams projectiles at the Hero. In addition he gains a new attack where he lifts the sword of aeons in a blinding light which deals many extremely rapid hits to anything in Jack's line of sight. Inexplicably, the Chamber of Fate grows rock pillars for the Hero to hide behind specifically for this part of Jack's boss fight. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Buy mass quantities of goods cheap then sell them right back for a profit. While it can take some time, you can have the best armor (barring the end of the expansion) and second best one-handed master weapon or best two-handed master weapon before even starting the first quest. Several spells fall into this category: The first spell you learn is Lightning. It doesn't do a lot of damage, but at higher ranks it can hit multiple targets at once and also paralyzes them while they take damage. Assassin's Rush teleports you behind your target, thus getting around enemies that block almost everything. It's especially useful when combined with Multi-Strike. It's also useful for running long distances quickly. Physical Shield makes you take no damage so long as you have Will to power it. That alone makes it moderately useful, but it also knocks back enemies who hit you, prevents you from getting knocked back when hit, and protects your combat multiplier (resulting in more experience gained). It's arguably the most useful spell in the game and approaches Game Breaker territory. The most efficient way to kill a single enemy is almost always to simply hit it with your melee weapon. Speaking of weapons, one-handed weapons are generally considered superior to two-handed ones. While they don't do as much damage, they attack much much faster, allowing players to rack up damage quicker. Furthermore, it's generally better to use master weapons with augmentations than legendary ones. Legendary weapons do more damage but they can't be augmented. While the Sword of Aeons and Avo's Tear are tied for highest damage among one-handed weapons, keeping a few backup weapons with silver, piercing, or fire augmentations for specialized foes like Balverines or Trolls can make difficult fights a cakewalk. The Frying Pan. It deals pathetic damage but has four augmentation slots, more than any other weapon in the game. A mage with a Frying Pan and Master Bow/Crossbow filled with Mana Augmentations will pretty much never need mana potions again, barring the final boss. | |

Crapsaccharine World: Albion is bright, whimsical, and has a huge helping of British Humour but most of the stuff that happens in it is awful: Heroes act like celebrity athletes at best and sadistic hired thugs at worst, few areas are safe to travel, the largest town is run by a narcissistic murderer, a Humanoid Abomination has major control over Albion's most popular Blood Sport and largest prison (where torture and public execution are standard affairs), and, judging by the state of Darkwood Bordello, sex slavery is tacitly accepted. | |

The lack of sympathy shown to the Hero about his Doomed Hometown and family: Maze teleports him out of Oakvale, away from the destruction of everything he's ever known. When the boy vomits on the ground, either Stress Vomit or Teleportation Sickness, Maze just says he thought he would have a stronger stomach and there is nothing to return to. In the morning, Whisper says he was talking in his sleep and must have had a nightmare, and she and the Guild Master chide him for not getting up earlier. The hero can't say "I'm sorry, I'm a small child who just saw my family, friends and neighbours slaughtered and my hometown destroyed", but no-one seems to give him any thought for it. | |

Hyperactive Metabolism: Consuming any food, besides beer, happens instantly and will regenerate some lost health over a short time. This healing will combine with any other food consumed allowing a player to obtain absurd rates of healing by, for instance, consuming a dozen pies in a couple seconds. The player character will gain some weight when food is consumed and, since food is consumed instantly, can go from skinny to obese in seconds. The game even encourages the player to exploit Hyperactive Metabolism with the Barrow Fields Demon Door that requires the player character be obese to open. | |

Friend-or-Idol Decision: The game has a couple: After defeating Whisper, you can choose to kill her like Jack says despite promising her you wouldn't. Doing so will net you a lot of money but is considered a massive evil act When you beat Jack for the first time in The Lost Chapters you can choose to sacrifice your sister in order to get The Sword of Aeons. While sacrificing your sister is obviously considered evil, one could claim it's justified as the sword will be a big help in destroying Jack permanently. | |

Useless Useful Spell | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_4c709317 | comment |
Useless Useful Spell: Turncoat has an absurdly long casting time that only turns an opponent into a temporary ally that you’ll still have to kill later on. Drain Life deals the least damage of any offensive spell*Lightning does less damage per hit but deals damage much faster. and heals for much less than Heal or just using a health potion which are cheap and plentiful. Having to wait for the stolen health to actually reach you doesn’t help at all, nor the fact that many of the game's more dangerous enemies are outright resistant. Fireball is a ranged attack that can create explosions that might hit and damage multiple enemies at once. This sounds useful since arrows hit only a single target but Fireball needs to be held and charged up to reach its higher levels of explosive power and this process takes way too long, and the player can't use other attacks during it. It also doesn't help that once launched the fireball is a Painfully Slow Projectile. Ghost swords summons some magic swords around you that randomly slash at any nearby enemies for Scratch Damage. There are better spells to either distract or outright kill multiple enemies. Heal Life is another downplayed example. At low levels, it restores very little health but drains your mana pool by a ridiculously huge amount. At higher levels, the spell restores more health but you’ll have more useful spells available, in addition to more health potions, a longer health bar & better armor. Its only use is to heal your companions during Escort Missions. And level 3, it can do so without targeting them. Lightning Augmentation increases damage against only a few enemy types, most of whom take extra damage from other, more generally useful Augmentations such as Flame or Piercing. The one enemy type that only takes extra damage from Lightning Augmentations is wasps which are so weak that even the strongest ones are oneshotted by basically any steel quality weaponnote The lowest quality that can still use augmentations or above. Experience augmentations give 10% more experience per kill for each one you have equipped, adding up to a maximum of 70% more experience. However, except for one that can be earned early by exploiting the Hero Save function, it's impossible to get any until shortly before the final quest of the original game, by which point you're almost guaranteed to have every skill you want anyway and are better off using other augmentations. | |

Good Pays Better: Multiple: A good Hero can master Physical Shield and Summon, which are among the best spells in the game.

Not Completely Useless: Force Push. It deals very little damage even at level four and affects all nearby NPCs. However, it doesn't interrupt movement or charging a ranged attack and knocks back enemies, making it useful both for archery builds or just rushing to a quest objective. It can also be used in the Arena against Whisper to prevent your combat multiplier from dropping between rounds. Heal. It's extremely inefficient compared to just drinking a health potion, but it can be used to heal an NPC on an Escort Mission. At level 3 and 4, it heals all nearby allies at once. Divine Fury and Infernal Wrath are Awesome, but Impractical in most fights but if you choose to fight Briar Rose they are undoubtedly the best counter to her clone summon ability. | |

Money for Nothing | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_5534431f | comment |
Money for Nothing: Its very easy to get endless amounts of Gold by exploiting the shops dynamic pricing. In the Heroic difficulty added in Fable Anniversary edition this was made much less profitable but the player can still buy up rental properties to get endless Gold if he's patient. In any case a player that tries to get rich will most likely soon have more Gold than he can possibly spend on anything useful, especially since most of the best equipment isn't even available in stores. | |

PurposefullyOverpowered | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_5554487f | comment |
Purposefully Overpowered: The Sword of Aeons had an insane 550 base damage in the original version of the game, since the credits rolled upon receiving it and there was no more story content afterwards, only aimless freeplay. As the expansion pack continues the story afterwards, the Sword of Aeons got a Nerf in Lost Chapters, down to a more reasonable 230 damage, leaving it the strongest one-handed weapon in the game, but no longer nearly twice as strong as even legendary two-handed weapons. | |

White-and-Grey Morality | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_58962105 | comment |
White-and-Grey Morality: The Heroes' Guild. Functionally, it is a neutral organization, with the Guildmaster holding a philosophy that heroes should be able to choose between good and evil, and the Guild offering both good and evil quests simultaneously. Despite this, most the other heroes belonging to the guild have generally good intentions, some have problems with pride or arrogance, and almost all of them are against Jack of Blades. | |

Charged Attack | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_589e54d3 | comment |
Charged Attack: Bows and crossbows can be charged up for greater damage. Skorm's Bow is unique in that it doesn't have a maximum charge, meaning even Jack of Blades can be killed in one shot if charged long enough. From level two onward, Fireball can be charged up to deal greater damage. At level three and four, a charged Fireball also explodes to do area of effect damage. On the flipside, a Fireball that isn't charged deals identical damage to a level one Fireball. | |

Some quests have good and evil versions or choices, such as protecting or attacking Orchard Farm, sparing or killing Whisper, and escorting or rescuing a deathrow inmate. Almost universally, the evil option pays more gold than the good option. Three powerful weapons (two of which are Disc-One Nukes) can only be acquired by committing evil acts. | |

Permanently Missable Content: If you turn in Lady Grey rather than marry her, you can never get through the Demon Door near her home. There is also a Silver Key that can only be reached by fighting Thunder for her favour. In the original game, you also couldn't get the Silver Chest in her house, but in The Lost Chapters/Anniversary Edition you can still get it without marrying her. Also, if you give all your Silver Keys to the Demon Door in the Necropolis before you've collected all of them and opened all the treasure chests, you will never be able to open the chests afterwards as there won't be enough Silver Keys left in the world for you to collect. The 20 Key Silver Chest in the Guild. In the original game, if you didn't open it before facing Jack of Blades then it would become unavailable, but in The Lost Chapters/Anniversary Edition you can still get it after fighting him. | |

Painfully Slow Projectile | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_6b6ac319 | comment |
Fireball is a ranged attack that can create explosions that might hit and damage multiple enemies at once. This sounds useful since arrows hit only a single target but Fireball needs to be held and charged up to reach its higher levels of explosive power and this process takes way too long, and the player can't use other attacks during it. It also doesn't help that once launched the fireball is a Painfully Slow Projectile. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Armor sets protect differently against different kinds of attacks. For example, a Will User's Outfit (especially with a hat) offers the best defense against magic, lightning, and AoE attacks, while Platemail is great against melee and ranged (non-magical) attacks but weak against magic and worse than being naked against lightning. Unless you spend hours comparing, you'll likely never realize this unless you look it up. | |

Being Good Sucks | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_72b0dfd2 | comment |
Being Good Sucks: In general the major 'Good' choices in the main plot are less rewarding than their Evil alternatives. The only significant advantage from being Good is that Physical Shield, one of the best abilities in the game, takes less Experience to level up. If the Hero takes ownership of Darkwood Bordello he can collect Gold from it like a rental property. Taking the Good choice and giving away the Bordello deed to Madame Minzche has no financial payoff. Skorm's Bow from the Temple of Skorm is the best ranged weapon in the game. The weapon rewarded by the Temple of Avo, the Sentinus Greatmace, is a good melee Heavy Weapon but most players prefer light weapons. If a player is willing to spend tens of thousand of gold on a Heavy Weapon he might as well buy the Solus Greatsword which is available shortly after the Sentinus. It is also cheaper to get the Sentinus if the Hero is already Evil. Sparing Whisper in the Arena results in missing out on an easy 10,000 gold and she's Put on a Bus afterwards anyway. For the first soul needed for Archon's Shrine killing Thunder in Knothole Glade is even easier than fighting him at Headman's Hill was. The alternative Arena battle against Jack's minions is one of the toughest combat sequences in the entire game as it pits the Hero against many Elite Mook Summoners and Minions. Fighting Briar Rose for her soul is more fun than facing a Zerg Rush of Screamers to collect Scarlet Robe's soul. | |

Black-and-White Morality | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_7abd339f | comment |
Black-and-White Morality: For the Hero of Oakvale at least actions are categorized as either Good or Evil and give points that move the player's Karma Meter towards the corresponding alignment. It is rather hard for the Hero to remain morally neutral and there's no reward for doing so. Other characters on the other hand are more nuanced and tend to be more along the lines of Black-and-Gray Morality compared to the villain, Jack of Blades, who is pure evil. | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: In Bowerstone Quay, there's a man who convinces the player to get a ridiculous haircut, beard, and mustache in order to meet his daughter. Afterwards, he admits his daughter doesn't even exist and he lied to make the Hero look stupid. Since this can be done at any time, the Hero could easily be a Living Legend who's built like a bear. The only thing keeping many players from killing the man is the fact NPCs are immortal in Bowerstone. | |

Easy Level Trick | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_8125d8f6 | comment |
Downplayed example that doubles with Easy Level Trick, you can get the Harbinger longsword, the 3rd best 1-handed sword in the game, before having to fight in the arena. There are 2 ways to get the sword: either by maxing out all Strength attributes, or raising physique 5 times, health 2 times, and toughness 3 times after your first attempt at pulling the sword from the stone. If you don't upgrade any Strength attributes before your first attempt, you can then upgrade your stats accordingly (only ~42,000 strength exp) and pull out that sword on your second try! This trick does require you to play roughly half the game with minimum physical stats, not impossible but a bit challenging. | |

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_812ee32b | comment |
Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Early in the game, spells have decent power but a low mana pool means you'll spend half your time using your melee weapon anyway. Meanwhile, it's almost pathetically easy to unlock master and even legendary weapons before completing a single quest, which will do far more damage than any spells. Come late game, you have a massive mana pool and mana augmentations to refill it quicker, resulting in the ability to spam high level spells endlessly, whereas physical damage stops increasing between halfway and two-thirds through the game. | |

Evil Pays Better | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_8aebbc74 | comment |
Evil Pays Better: Some quests have good and evil versions or choices, such as protecting or attacking Orchard Farm, sparing or killing Whisper, and escorting or rescuing a deathrow inmate. Almost universally, the evil option pays more gold than the good option. Three powerful weapons (two of which are Disc-One Nukes) can only be acquired by committing evil acts. Skorm's Bow can only be obtained by sacrificing people at Skorm's Temple. Said bow is by far the strongest weapon in the game, ranged or melee, due to it's ability to charge up more power infinitely. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |

Artificial Stupidity: It's particularly clear when fighting in the Arena, but enemies are entirely unaware of any traps that might be present in the battlefield. Enemies that only have melee attacks will approach you and get hit by traps every single time if you're right behind it. This, for example, allows the player to defeat Whisper in the Arena without landing or receiving a single hit, by just letting her hit herself with the spinblade traps. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: A dedicated archery build is amazing at burning down tough enemies but struggles against swarms of weaker opponents. By contrast, a dedicated magic build is great for swarms of enemies and even useful against an Elite Mook or two, but has trouble against a lot of bosses due to higher magic resistance. A Hero that specializes in strength and melee can overcome typical fights through brute force but weak ranged attack options make winning most Boss Fight encounters much more annoying. | |

Jack of All Stats | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_ac9f78d9 | comment |
Jack of All Stats: Of the five augmentations that boost damage, sharpening augmentations fall into this category. Piercing, fire, lightning, and silver augmentations boost damage considerably but only against a certain enemies. Sharpening augmentations always boost your weapon's damage by a flat 10% against everything, making them an ideal choice for your primary weapon. Though carrying back up weapons filled with the other augmentations is a good idea too. Among the offensive spells, Enflame. It's more mana intensive and slower to cast than Lightning or Force Push but less so than Infernal Wrath, Divine Fury, or Fireball. It also deals less damage than Infernal Wrath, Divine Fury, and Fireball but more than any other spell. | |

Finish Him!: Multiple: Jack of Blades orders you to kill Whisper in the Arena after defeating her in a fight. You can refuse, although you forfeit a cash prize. If you go for the kill, she stands back up and fights to the death. After his defeat, Twinblade goes from telling the Hero to Get It Over With to begging for his life. Theresa's comments about his loss are strictly neutral, but could be interpreted as this. | |

Irony | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
The Guildmaster for a Hero who kills him, in an odd way. In his youth, he was one of the Heroes who rebelled against the idea that heroes absolutely had to be good, arguing that heroes had to be free to make their own choices. (The ideology of choice is a big thing in Albion.) If your hero becomes an evil monster who turns on his mentor, it produces a certain irony. Ultimately, this immorality in many Heroes leads to their destruction on the advent of readily available firearms when people don't need heroes any more and don't put up with their rampages. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Kryndon tattoo looks very similar to the Superman logo, and "Kryndon" sounds a bit like "Krypton," Superman's home planet. One of the weapons looks a lot like the Scythe from the last season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When you attack the guards, they occasionally say "It's just a flesh wound!", almost certainly quoting the Black Knight of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. College Roomies from Hell!!!: One of the early quests has you searching for blue mushrooms, and there are a couple of men hanging around talking about the mushrooms of truth. The Flavor Text for a carrot is "The carrot has mystery," a reference to Withnail and I: Uncle Monty wears a baby carrot on his lapel instead of a flower. One of the tombstones in Lychfield Graveyard belongs to Captain Jack Sparrow; another reads "No one can hold their breath for ten minutes". The Katana Hiryu. This might be a shout out to Strider, or it might just be that the developers thought the name was cool (it means "Flying Dragon" in Japanese).

Heal Life is another downplayed example. At low levels, it restores very little health but drains your mana pool by a ridiculously huge amount. At higher levels, the spell restores more health but you’ll have more useful spells available, in addition to more health potions, a longer health bar & better armor. Its only use is to heal your companions during Escort Missions. And level 3, it can do so without targeting them. | |

Kill Enemies to Open | |

Kill Enemies to Open: The Hook Coast Cullis Gate connection is a Broken Bridge that requires the Hero to destroy a wave of undead in the Darkwood, reactivating a nearby Gate with their Life Energy. One of the Demon Doors believes that Strength Equals Worthiness and only opens for a Hero who can withstand the waves of progressively stronger Hobbes that it summons. At the beginning of "The White Balverine", Knothole Glade is locked down and won't open its gates until the Hero defeats the waves of Balverines in the forest outside. Justified since the gates are there for that specific purpose. | |

That One Attack | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_d4b0ca2 | comment |
That One Attack: Most enemy attacks are easy to avoid just by moving out of the way or holding the block button, which makes the ones that aren't really stand out. Twinblade only has one attack likely to hit a competent player, the one where he charges toward the player and swipes his swords outwards when he gets close. Twinblade moves and attacks much faster during this move and it is unblockable like all his attacks, making a well-timed dodge roll necessary. White Balverines have the long distance leap attack all balverines have but it becomes much more dangerous thanks to being unblockable. Whisper's version of the Battle Charge spell launchs her forward with no warning at all, knocks down anyone hit, and covers a wide path. The only way to consistently avoid it is to keep distance and constantly circle-strafe. Maze's version of the Enflame spell is just as powerful as the Hero's: it will quickly destroy any of the Hero's summoned allies, is very difficult to dodge without exploiting Slow Time or invincibility animations from otherwise worthless spells like Battle Charge, will knock over anyone it hits, and hits a huge area around Maze. Much like most players, Maze also spams it constantly when any enemy gets close to him. Summoner's lightning orb does extreme damage to the Hero if it gets anywhere near him and, given the narrow, cramped areas where Summoners are usually fought, can be hard to avoid once its launched. | |

Mana Shield | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_df487835 | comment |
Physical Shield makes you take no damage so long as you have Will to power it. That alone makes it moderately useful, but it also knocks back enemies who hit you, prevents you from getting knocked back when hit, and protects your combat multiplier (resulting in more experience gained). It's arguably the most useful spell in the game and approaches Game Breaker territory. | |

Fortunately, you can end the cycle for good—and in fact, Fable II reveals that it's Canon that this happened. | |

| Fable (Video Game) / int_e663d3ef | comment |
When you attack the guards, they occasionally say "It's just a flesh wound!", almost certainly quoting the Black Knight of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. | |

Hoarding the Profits: The Hero can inflict this on a bandit he rescues from Hobbe Cave. The bandit offers to help explore the cave in exchange for a cut of the treasure, but the Hero can refuse to pay afterwards, causing the bandit to turn hostile. | |

Simple, yet Awesome | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_ea480f92 | comment |
Simple, yet Awesome: Enflame doesn't do as much damage as Infernal Wrath, Divine Fury, or Fireball but it's faster to cast than any of them, less mana intensive than the first two, and not as easily dodged as Fireball. Enflame also deals reasonable damage, hits all nearby enemies in a decent range, is Friendly Fireproof, and deals knockback while looking really cool. For offensive spells, Enflame tends to be the go-to spell throughout the game. | |

Arbitrary Mission Restriction | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_ef2c9b2d | comment |
Arbitrary Mission Restriction: The "Boasts" for most quests. Before embarking on a quest, the player may pick and choose any or all available Boasts to attempt, which include conditions like "Don't take any damage," "Do the entire quest naked (i.e., without any armor)," or "Do the entire quest in a chicken suit." They aren't necessary for the success of the quest, but completing them grants extra gold and renown. | |

Last Episode, New Character | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_f09b6509 | comment |
Last Episode, New Character: In the original release, Briar Rose only showed up during the final story mission which involved fighting off Jack of Blades' minions alongside the other heroes. Since she had a unique character model, name and voice you would be forgiven in thinking that you missed a sidequest somewhere that introduced her despite this being her only appearance. The Lost Chapters amended this by giving her a proper introduction cutscene, a sidequest where you bonded more and then gave her an important role in dealing with Jack's resurrection. Namely that you can choose to kill her and take her heroic soul. | |

Good Armor, Evil Armor: Most Player Character armor has "Bright" and "Dark" variants that have the same defensive statistics but benefit or penalize the Karma Meter, respectively. NPCs tend to react happily or apprehensively to the PC's presence as a result. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Find a woman that adores you; shower her with gifts, praise, affection and love; bring her on a trip to Darkwood; and then sacrifice her to Skorm, ensuring that she will spend an eternity suffering unimaginable agony. Fun for the whole family! One quest seems to exist purely to invoke this trope - it involves helping bandits to slaughter everyone in Barrow Fields for no apparent reason. Though, to be fair, this will leave Barrow Fields permanently deserted, and the merchants will never respawn. | |

Useless Useful Stealth | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_f9669a32 | comment |
Useless Useful Stealth: Required to get the warden's key in Bargate Prison, pretty useless everywhere else. Worse, maxing out Guile (which improves stealth) makes functionally no difference from putting zero points in it. Even the one other quest where it's suggested, it's easier to just snipe the guards with your bow or a fireball. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Fable (Video Game) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: YOU (the player), potentially, as in a lot of cases doing something evil will give you some new item which can be used to fight Jack and his forces, making it somewhat justifiable. The biggest example would be in The Lost Chapters where after beating Jack the first time you can sacrifice your sister in order to get the Sword Of Aeons. While this is obviously an evil act, one could justify it by point out that the sword will be a big help in destroying Jack once and for all and likely saving millions of lives. | |
