Chap 5 Work (Fable 3 Spoilers)
One game that comes to mind when I think of games with decisions that affect the whole game is Fable 3. I just recently finished Fable and I can say its one of the first games were I personally felt the weight of the decisions I was making. Throughout the game you are making promises to the people who will help you overthrow the king, Also the small evil or good decisions of helping people or making them worse off. Throughout the game I was doing things to help people, find missing children in the caves or helping someone’s marriage. That all compared to the kings decisions is nothing. Once you become king you find out the evil that is coming to your kingdom. The only way to survive is to have a mass amount of gold to support an army. The king you overthrew knew about this and such had the kingdom in poverty and hard labor to prepare them and make enough money to protect them from the evil to come. You have decisions to make throughout your reign. One that stand out in my head is I had a decisions of making the children going back to work making the necessary thing for war or spend half a million making the factory into a school. That was a lot of money to spend with only a year left till the Darkness comes. It took me 15 minutes of thinking in real life about it. I decided to sleep on it. Going to class the next day I told Jeff about it. He laughed at me and said “It’s a game don’t worry.” At that moment I realized that I was so attached to the choices I had to make and the characters in the game that I forgot it’s Just a game.
