Not a bad extra to throw in there.
InFable IIandIII, you could marry not only the opposite sex, but the same sex as well.
Thats just me though.
I hope this sticks around forFable IV, as theThe Journeydidnt even allow a change of clothes.
Music
Comparing the music betweenFables I-IIIandThe Journeyis like comparing different songs by your favorite band.
A good example of this is the main song fromFable(original) whenever youre in a town.
You learn Magic, Melee fighting and archery.
Whether hero or villain, the end ofFableprovides an end to this particular storyline.
The young Sparrow is living in poverty, in Bowerstone with his/her sister.
You, as Sparrow, and your sister come across a trader selling a music box that grants wishes.
Lucien is rebuilding an ancient Spire that allows those who control it to use magic and grant wishes.
DuringFable II, you have a companion as well.
The faithful puppy has become a faithful dog, who can learn tricks and find treasure.
Fable IIends with Theresa taking custody of the Spire and Lucien being defeated.
When the end comes, youre given a choice of a single wish from the Spire.
That is exactly why he killed her!
But no, it is a show of Sacrifice, sacrificing your own happiness for the rest of Albion.
Fable IIItakes place about 50 years after the end ofFable IIand opens with a chicken running away from captivity.
You start as a prince or princess.
Worse still, if you dont choose one or the other, both die.
It is a very dramatic start and a perfect example of why your heroics are needed.
In the end, the darkness is defeated but not destroyed.
And the defeat comes at a great price: Sir Walter, your mentor and guide, passes away.
He gave his life willingly though, knowing that the darkness must be defeated.
He is revered as a Hero and a statue is erected of him in the palace garden.
This brings us to the latest of theFables, The Journey.
InFable IIIthey changed the mechanics of magic so that it was focused through some gauntlets.
TheJourneytakes advantage of this and Gabriel is endowed with Will using similar gauntlets.
Innovative and a heck of a lot of fun.
For instance, Theresa was the reason Lucien knew as much as he did about the Spire.
She has carried that guilt for centuries at this point.
The consequences being that the events fromFable IIIwere also directly due to Theresas quest to rebuild the Spire.
So what does the future hold?
And how many years will have passed?
Only time, or some sneaky ninjas breaking into the development area ofFable IV, will tell.
