"By far the most interesting thing about the Fable games is their setting in the fantasy world of Albion. While you control heroic characters, the entire trilogy is arguably more about Albion itself, how it grows and changes with your decisions, and how the power of authoritarians molds it. In each Fable game, you get to see a different era of Albion: the first game is set in its medieval age, the second in its Renaissance, and the third in the Industrial Revolution."
"That put Fable 3 in a fascinating place we hadn't seen much of in fantasy RPGs, showing a fantastical world going through the changes introduced by firearms, steam power, and electricity. Amid that backdrop, the game casts you as the youngest child of the Hero of Bowerstone and current King of Albion. Following the passing of your parents, you now live with your older brother Logan, who's turning into a tyrannical king who executes citizens for minor crimes."
The Fable trilogy embodies ambitious, stylistically distinct RPGs that diverge between entries. Albion serves as the central subject, changing with player choices and authoritarian power. Each game portrays a different Albion era: medieval, Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution. Fable 3 situates fantasy elements amidst firearms, steam power, and electricity, and casts the player as the youngest child of the Hero of Bowerstone who must escape an increasingly tyrannical brother, Logan. The player helps start a revolution to overthrow Logan and assumes rulership. The game is divided into two halves: leading the revolution and governing Albion under emergent industrial pressures.
