Skyrim is largely a humourless place, but like Albion, it has a strong identity. Fable gave you different ways to approach combat, and Skyrim runs with that idea, letting your character flex between a sneaky archer, a battlemage, or a brute with a two-handed warhammer. Two cities that take 20 minutes to walk between (in real time, that is) might look entirely different, but you can sense a shared history. The world is teeming with detail, and coherent in a way that few games manage, with NPCs that follow daily routines and interact with one another.
But there’s similarities too, which gives Fable fans plenty to love. Lionhead’s RPG never takes itself too seriously – Bethesda’s absolutely does, with a stone-faced plot about the chosen one saving the world. It’s easy to focus on the differences between Skyrim (opens in new tab) and Fable.
