The sequel basically expands most or all parts of the gaming experience from the previous game, without changing the elementary modes of playing. Its towns have developed into cities, weaponry is slowly taking advantage of gunpowder, and social, family and economic life present more possibilities - as well as challenges. Science and more modern ideas have suppressed the religion and magic of old Albion. The world resembles Europe between the late 1600s and early 1700s, the time of highwaymen and the Enlightenment. įable II takes place 500 years after the events of the first game. In addition to the main quest to learn what happened to the Hero's family, players can engage in optional quests and pursuits such as trading, romance and married life, pub gaming, boxing, exploring, and theft. The choices players make in the game affect the perception and reaction to their Hero by the characters of Albion and change the Hero's appearance to mirror what good or evil deeds he has performed.

In the first Fable, players assume the role of an orphaned boy who is forced into a life of heroism when bandits attack his village, kill his parents and kidnap his sister.

The period of time progresses with each game in Fable II, Albion has advanced to an era similar to that of the Age of Enlightenment, and by Fable III the nation has been unified under a monarchy and is undergoing an ' Age of Industry' similar to the real-world 18th-19th-century Industrial Revolution. The name Albion itself is an ancient albeit still used name for Great Britain. The setting originally resembles Medieval Britain, with some European elements. The Fable series takes place in the fictional nation of Albion, a state that, at the time of the first game, is composed of numerous autonomous city-states with vast areas of countryside or wilderness in between. The series was developed by Lionhead Studios until the studio was closed in 2016, and is published by Xbox Game Studios. Fable is a series of action role-playing video games for Xbox, Microsoft Windows, macOS, Xbox 360 and Xbox One platforms.
