Fable: Stupid Fairness

The fact that a lot of talented people put a lot of time and effort into Fable is gnawing at me.

The artwork was very good. The atmosphere established by the low rock walls and leafy trees of Oakdale was wonderful. The appearance of most of the locations in the game were very well done. The character design was solid and the animation was fluid and expressive.

The music helped set the mood and add an atmosphere of wonder.

Even though I was on the goody two shoes path, it was easy to see that there were plenty of fun opportunities to get into trouble on the evil path.

The coding was solid. The game never crashed or locked up, and this without a single patch.

The voice acting was obviously quite effective. I wouldn't have been so upset about the pettiness and betrayals of the other characters if I hadn't found them credible to begin with.

Fairness has been served.
