So I decided to play the original Fable, the source of the franchise lol, I never had the original xbox and hence never played it ( likewise with a pc, never had it way back when ), I started off with fable 2 for the 360, only about 2 years ago ( mabey 3 max. ).
Anywho, got Fable TLC for my pc today and put it on, I do have some problems - I got an error message sayin I didnt have enough ram ( i've 4 gigs of ddr2 ram, aroun 270 gigs spare on my hd and am running a quad core processor with a graphics card that has 1 gb ram ?? ) did a bita research and it seems to be a compatibility issue with TLC and a 64-bit o/s ( made worse by using vista so apparently the fixes for a 64-xp o/s wont work for a 64-vista o/s ).
So im enjoying playing the original game, just passed the bit where your sent to the archeologist , it's good to get experience the full story, not the same reading through the fable wiki lol.
However I have to say this is the first pc game I've ever played, finding the controls very different and awkward, im used to a controller, I had to change some keys because my pc is connected into my tv and used mostly for tv/films and browsing the net, because of this I have a wireless keyboard with a tracker pad ( so its basically a smaller laptop board with the tracker pad ) and I find the mouse controlls hard to use on the tracker pad...also I dont have a TAB button so had to change that hotkey, Unusually for me im not using much magic, the time spell and thats about it, im not using any form of skill - ie not using archery, because I cant use the controls fast enough, im slow time and then hack and slash lol.
Thats my experience so far, i'll update as I progress in the game, ps because of the supposed "lack of ram" i'm running in save mode and the resolution max. is like 800x600 and is only taking up half my screen with large black lines either side and top/bottom on occasions, anyone else?
