And still i'd like to get an answer to my question guys
Is there a unified storyline throughout the Fable series or is every game a standalone story with a little connection here and there to the earlier games?
the land changes from era to era, in the firs game, i'm not sure what era you'd call it in comparison to history, but the second one certainly seemed more like the victorian era, it's supposed to take place 500 years after the first game, there's some small references to the first game, but mostly it's a seperate story, the third isn't as big a leap forward taking place only 50 years after the second, it's a little more connected the 2nd game than the 2nd was to the 1st as you play as the younger son of the king who was the hero of fable 2, and again there's some small references to the last game, but for the most it's a stand alone story, and you don't have to play any of them in order, i would recomend playing them all however quite good in their own way. i belive the first 2 fable games are available for purchase on xbox live.
