Fable 1 is just a comfy rpg to play and my favourite game in the series. I love the heroes guild, the combat multiplier, and the villain.

I like the heroes guild, and I like that the Heroes are all just characters that are doing their own shit that you sometimes intersect with. Whisper, Thunder, Briar Rose, Maze, and Scythe are all cool and have dope designs. While Fable 2's heroes (Hammer, Garth, and Reaver) are also pretty cool, I'm kind of just bummed by the Heroes Guild just not being a thing anymore.

The combat in this game is more interesting to me than Fable 2 or 3 mainly for the fact of the combat multiplier. It is a good system, even though you can break it completely with the spell shield and just never lose combo, but that makes it even better to me. The fact that you can ingest XP potions and they multiply with the combo makes it so cool to me.

The villain in this game is just way more interesting than the rest of the series. Jack of Blades feels like a real motherfucker compared to like Lucian, sure he killed your sister, but like "ehhh?". Then compared to the Fable 3 dudes (your brother and the Dark) its like your brother is just a stock dictator, and the Dark doesnt get introduced until the like halfway point and still doesnt have much to it. Jack of Blades just has a awesome design and lore behind him.

God I just hope the Fable is awesome.
