Remember all of the locked doors, dead ends, and rumored quests in the original release? Well, Fable: The Lost Chapters opens up many of those areas and is one third longer than the original game. It includes an entire new land featuring the elusive dragon long thought to be hidden in the original release. Gamers will also experience new spells, armor, weapons, enemies, and expressions.

The question likely to be on everyone's mind is how this content will be made available. Microsoft currently has plans to release the game as a Platinum Hits title for the suggested retail price of $19.99. This is a joyous announcement for those who have never set foot in Albion, but the purchase may be a tough call for people who already bought the first game for full price.

The Lost Chapters will be released this September for Xbox.

This news makes me glad I ignored the original Fable.

I feel bad for you lot that paid full price for it.

This angers me, but I really enjoyed Fable a lot so I may actually pick this up like a sucker.

I don't think there is anything they can do with this "Lost Chapters" that could make it the game the first one should have been. There is simply no way they could have fixed everything.

I think Fable is probably the best description of a game that wasted its potential. There was SOO much to like about this game and they squandered every opportunity and made a game that should have been amazing simply decent.

Please elaborate on specific instances.

Peter Molyneaux is a brilliant person who is always thinking about games about 5 years before theyre possible.

Fable 2 will probably be great, but in the meantime, we have Lost Chapters.

Ill get this. I didnt spend time with Fable because of all the hatorade. Even though a lot of people thought it was fun.

The hatorade from me was mostly because of all that blocked off shit. Oh well.

I'll snatch it up.

The game was fun, there is no doubt about that. It just seems like they came up short in all the little shit. The fishing is a perfect example. They could have made that enjoyable instead of just button mashing. Very linear paths through the whole game takes the adventure out of it. There was never a sense of what might be beyond the next area because you knew you would get there just by following the only path available to you.

These are just a couple of endless examples of the problems with the game. It is still worth a 1 time play through though. I guess it just bums me out because it could have been so great. Oh well, I'll keep my eye on Fable 2 and see how that turns out.

At $20, I'll definitely pick it up. Maybe I'll spend more time with Fable over the coming weeks to prepare myself for this.
