Fable (video game series)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Broken Base]]: It's a Peter Molyneux franchise; what do you expect?

* [[Creator's Pet]]: Arguably Reaver, considering that the games tend to gloss over his atrocities in favor of his [[Badass|Badassness]]. However, as said above, he's a bit of a [[Base Breaker]].

* [[Designated Hero]]: Played with in Fable 2. Since you're [[The Chosen One]], pretty much all of your "moral lapses" are forgiven, simply because it would be far worse to punish you and put you off your destiny. Same with 3, {{spoiler|if you are not the ruler of Albion when darkness incarnate hits, everyone loses.}}

* [[Fan Dumb]]: Because of [[Lying Creator|Peter Molyneux's reputation for drastically over-hyping his games]], it's especially common for people to jump at any minor flaw of Fable II and quickly descend into a rant that implies they're going to sue Lionhead and/or Microsoft. This includes people complaining that the ability to play online required you to download a patch online, claiming that ''unavoidable features'' such as pushing people off cliffs and planting an acorn weren't in the game.

* [[Game Breaker]]: Spam some of the Will powers and the enemies won't even ''touch'' you. [[Lampshaded]] when some bandits shout out remarks along the lines of "How the Hell are we supposed to fight against that?" as you're frying them from the inside out.

** Plug in a second controller in Fable 2. Start co-op mode without a gamer profile or using an existing save to load an equivalent power henchman. Discard the henchman's abilities, and then leave co-op mode. All that free xp you just gained from discarding the henchman's skills is now yours. Rinse and repeat, as the henchman gets more powerful each time!

** There's also the taunting gargoyles, but they're supposed to be annoying.

*** And the third game brings the gargoyles successor, the gnomes, which is hinted at in the mission where you give them life; the item used to transform them from lifeless garden gnomes is caused by a gargoyle that looks identical from the ones in the second game. They're considerably more horrible than gargoyles, as gargoyles were just insulting, gnomes downright threaten you.

* [[Revenue Enhancing Devices]] : The DLC for ''Fable 2'' and ''3''.

* [[Ugly Cute]]: A fair portion of the various creatures throughout the series. An example of the dichotomy between the ugly and the cute is the Minions. Visually fearsome to the point of hideousness. But they make the most adorable sounds that two metal objects scraping together can evoke.
