| D. Introduction | [FABLEINTRO]
0=================0
\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/
I'm a completist. That is to say, when I play a game, I want to see and
experience everything the designers put into the game to be seen and
experienced. If there comes a point in a game where I find out (that for
whatever reason) I cannot see some aspect of the game, that's generally around
the time I lose interest, and the game gets shelved. What can I say, it's an
affliction. However, I know for a fact that I'm not the only one who has this
particular disease. Many people out there share this same problem that I have.
For those of you who want to see and do it all, this guide is written for you.
Read on, and enjoy yourself. One word of warning, there may be spoilers
contained within this guide. If you don't want to read the spoilers, why are
you reading a guide in the first place? But I'll try not to give away anything
that you wouldn't already see at that point in the game anyway. For that
matter, I'll try not to give anything away at all. I'm deliberately going to be
terse in describing the story missions, and the focus will be on strategies for
beating the mission rather than describing what happens. But I'm not going to
make any promises; there may be the occasional slip of a plot line here and
there.
I'm not going to go over the keyboard controls like some FAQs do. This, in my
opinion, is nothing more than FAQs padding, done by authors to make their FAQs
KB numbers bigger without having to do any real writing. I have no time or
patience for that sort of thing; read the manual, that's what it's there for.
There's plenty of actual relevant information to go over in Fable without
putting in a bunch of useless nonsense that you can easily find in the manual.
As I was writing this guide, I ran through the game in very nearly the exact
order I describe. So I know it's entirely possible to complete the game using
my order. However, don't feel like you're bound to the exact same order I went
in. If you want to change things up, be my guest! Just don't skip over
something and forget to come back to it! Inevitably, someone is going to ask
"Why did you do X before Y?" or "Doing this before that is better because...".
The order I've put stuff in is the order I did them in; there's no better
reason I can give. I tried to strike a balance between keeping the core story
missions moving forward, doing the optional quests (silver and bronze), and
doing the optional stuff. I make no promises or presumptions that my order is
the best possible way to complete the game, it's just one way to do it.
Those funny codes on the right side of the table of contents are search codes.
It took a lot of tedious effort to put them in for you, so don't let them go to
waste! They're very easy to use. Double click on the code inside the brackets,
hit Control-C, then hit Control-F, then Control-V, then the return key. You
will instantly be taken to the correct place in the guide.
One last thing before we get to the interesting stuff. I'm not going to talk
about cheat codes. They don't interest me, and therefore I don't know anything
about them (seriously, I don't even know how to activate them). To me, there's
little point in playing with a cheat code on. The only time I consider them
valid to use is if you are stuck on something so frustrating that the
alternative is to delete the game from your hard drive. Otherwise, I fail to
see the point. I'm also not going to use anything I consider exploit-ish. These
are things in the game that are legal, but were not intended (in my opinion) to
be used by the designers in quite the way they are being used (for example,
there is a way to make a whole lot of money without any effort by taking
advantage of the simplistic economic model used in the game, essentially making
money a non-factor in the game from very early on. This is, in my view, an
exploit). Sometimes it's a bit of a grey area. Use your own judgment on that
stuff and do it however you like (it is, after all, your game), but I won't be
describing them here.
A couple of minor notes. The first involves alignment points. It is very easy
to rack up negative points by simply punching villagers. Using this method, it
is entirely possible to max out your negative alignment before ever leaving the
first village. Similarly, you can earn positive alignment points by taking out
the random creatures (wasps, bandits, etc.) that wander around the landscape.
If you need extra positive or negative alignment points, feel free to use these
methods to your heart's content.
The other thing I wanted to mention was the "Hero Save". You can, any time you
like, save your hero stats without saving the state of the world, which allows
you to rack up equipment, money, fame, experience points and pretty much
anything about your hero, then reload the world again and grab the exact same
things from the exact same actions (doing quests over again and so on). In the
words of Buddy the evil super-genius, "lame, lame, lame, lame, lame!" Do this
if you like, it's your game after all, but I'm writing this guide using the
assumption that you are not doing this (you can and should use the "world save"
function, though, this is the equivalent of a normal save in any other game.
Unfortunately the world save is not available until after you complete the
Heroes' Guild training, so be sure to set aside a good couple of hours to get
to that point, because you can't save the game before then).
The layout of this guide is presented such that Gold quests (the required
quests) get their own section (lettered F, G, H, and so on), while Silver and
Bronze quests (optional quests) are in subsections of the Gold quests under
which they'll be started (they will be presented as F1, F2, F3, and so forth,
and will be double underlined). Additionally, each section of the map you enter
while completing your journey will get a sub-section and will have a single
underline (I will not, however, list areas that you are just passing through on
the way to somewhere else, I will only list those areas where you actually have
to do something or if it's your first time there). Additionally, there are many
mini-quests in the game that don't show up in your quest book, these are
generally received by talking with the people standing around (they have green
dots on the mini-map). These sort of mini-quests are not given their own
section, but are described directly in the text, as they will generally only
require a paragraph or two of explanation to complete. Hopefully this will make
it obvious what you are trying to accomplish at any given point in the guide.
Okay, enough exposition from me, let's get to the good stuff.
