I played this game with my dad, and to this day i return to it on the Xbox, but there are a few things that could be remedied with a PC port, uncapped frame rates, higher resolutions, mods etc, I've always wanted Fable 2 to get a PC port and see its full potential, if GOG can make it happen, i would be very grateful.Doodadle

I was so sad when my Xbox 360 finally died... I realized I couldn't play fable 2 ever again. This was such an unique rpg, and you could do so much in the game. I still have the game CD to this day.

Fun Memory: I first played this game as a demo on an Office Depot laptop. It was a cutting-edge (for back then) gaming laptop, and they felt the specs could best be tested with this game. The demo wasn't incredibly long, but I remember being fascinated by the game and replaying it a couple times.

If it were even remotely possible to port this game to PC, I would gladly pay for it. I definitely should not have been playing this game as a child, yet I did. Now I hold a lot of nostalgia for the entire series. I don't really care which entry is the best as I love them all equally, however maybe I love Fable 2 just a little more equally. I'd love for this game to come to GOG in some way, I understand that it is a monumental task. But if there's a chance, I want to vote for this game to make it onto the platform. It needs to not only have a PC version of the game, but it should absolutely be preserved forever.

Fable 2 was one of the first games I can even remember playing, it was definitely one of the first RPGs I ever played and I was hooked, the style of the game, this bright and colourful world that stood out amongst the grey and brown that was popular at the time, the monty python-esque humor, the sheer amount of ways you could customize your character was amazing. It remained as one of my favourite games for years and years and now there is a possibility of it being preserved for the foreseeable future, I would absolutely love to see that, to see one of the games that shaped my childhood not only be available to me again officially, but also to everyone else as well.

Here's to crossing my fingers and hoping for the miracle that this game comes to PC. It would throw me back to my childhood like Anton Ego eating ratatouille in that hit Dreamwork's film, Ratatouille. GOG, I'm praying.

First Fable game was my first RPG ever and I loved it. While it was new I haven't had a computer able to run it. It would be great to finally play other parts as well.

The best thing about the Fable series was watching your character live and grow. The first Fable was incredible for it and the second was even better. Sure, the graphics are awful now. Sure, the writing is a little more stilted than it could have been. That wasn't the point. The point was seeing the world change around your character during their 30-40 year journey. The point was forging friendships and being the hero Albion needed. But it always struck me as odd that more games didn't use the aging main character mechanic. It was one of the best RPG mechanics to ever exist!

This is one of my favorite games of all time and not being able to play it unless you have an Xbox and live in a Cloud Streaming country sucks! I remember playing this game on my X360, multiple characters with different morality and choices, this is one of those games where you really feel the world reacts to your decisions. I loved Fable 1 and 3 but 2 is easily one of the best games of the X360/PS3 era and there is no emulator on PC to run it properly, if the focus of this GOG Program is to bring back old games so that they aren't lost forever, I don't think there is a better choice than Fable 2 and 3.

I loved the first Fable and have replayed it numerous times! Fable 2 runs so poorly on all other platforms that I would love a reliable, stable port for it. Even playing on Game Pass is fuzzy and janky.

...

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
