Mechanically, Fable is a follow-cam game set in a living, breathing world filled with non-player characters with which to interact. Everything you do and every relationship you forge leaves an impression. Repeatedly flirt with and pick up girls in the local tavern, for example, and word will get around... and new potential lady-friends will begin to react accordingly (to the game's credit, this dynamic works both ways: dogged persistence pays off). For more significant, dastardly acts, this plays a bigger part. If your regular actions are worthy of a thief or killer -- behavior that's ignored or even blindly rewarded in many other fantasy RPGs -- you will find increasingly chilly receptions in new townships throughout the game.
