Re: understanding the ending theorys *spoilers*
leaving out fable 1 didnt compromise anything, i just remember people saying stuff like "but i killed teresa! how can she be back?" and of corse im thinking "cuz your choices dont define what the sequel will be about, dumbass". and people were wondering how the story from fable 1 could be extended, when really it isnt. that story is over, the world has changed, and a new story is told. i think all 5 fables will have different storylines, but all the storys will be conected into one larger story. if that makes any sence. all in all, i liked the game, up untill that very last moment where you either press y or even worse, watch that prick reaver kill lucien for you. that one 30 secound moment aside, i liked the ending and LOVED the game. to me fable isnt so much the story, but the gameplay. but the story is nice to.
although, if i were the hero of that story, i would have called off the whole stopping lucien thing temporarily, and started a much more important task: killing that douchbag on rie reaver. just cuz he is a totall cowardly douch. then go kill lucien.
