Fable

For every choice, there is a consequence.

Imagine a world where every choice and action determines what you become. Where you evolve in real time based on every little thing you do. Introducing Fable, an RPG action adventure unlike any you've ever dreamed of.

Evolve in Real-Time - Will you fight for honor and justice, or betray the people? Remember that it determines how you look and how others react to you.

Never the Same Game - Like the real world, your decisions allow you to become a different person, be it hero, villain, or anything in between.

Real Reactions - Known for cruel brutality? Children will run. A reputation for heroism and nobility? Bathe in the adoration of your fans as you march into town.

**DU WEIßT WER DU BIST.

ENTSCHEIDE WER DU WIRST.**

FABLE

JEDE ENTSCHEIDUNG HAT KONSEQUENZEN.

Was passiert, wenn deine Entscheidungen schwerwiegende Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen? Jede einzelne Aktion wird dein Auftreten und die Art, wie die anderen dich wahrnehmen, beeinflussen. Und zwar positiv, wie negativ. Darfst du dein Schwert im Namen der Tugend zücken? Ziehst du das Böse dem Guten vor? Bevorzugst du Zauber? Oder eher Verrat? Vielleicht aber findest du einen Kompromiss? Doch bevor du dein Schicksal besiegelst, solltest du eines weissen: Bei Fable gleicht keine Geschichte der anderen. Wie sieht deine aus?
