I have genuinely always thought people missed the point of this game. I always felt like the ending was a giant suckerpunch. I was so sure the game would come through and allow me to keep all of my promises that I just... threw those around, willy nilly. To have the game do what it did and PUNISH me for that was AMAZING. I was suddenly feeling guilty, terrible, and like I had the weight of an entire country on my shoulders. I could totally have earned all the money needed to succeed AND kept my promises... but man, that would have taken HOURS, and I've wanted so bad to go back and experience it all over again.
I want to play Fable 2 and 3 again, but they're getting so hard to get into as time passes. We have access to so many versions of Fable 1, but its sequels... man, I just want to be able to play ALL of them, one after the other, and experience them all again as an adult.
