    Today's game is Fable 2. The Oblivion Soundtrack has recently put me in a mood to replay this, so i ripped my disk and launched it with Xenia. It runs pretty well for my System. It could absolutely be better, but overall for an experimental emulator it runs great.

    One issue i have is the Main character is just a void. Completely Black. Apparently there's a patch for this, but it was late and i didn't feel like messing with patches when i saw Cheat Engine mentioned. Cheat engine and Linux have been a nightmare for me to figure out.

    I have a lot of fond memories of this game. The first time i ever saw it was when my dad rented it through Gamefly when it was still big. He ended up buying it later and played through the whole thing, and i followed Suite. It's probably my favorite in the franchise next to 3 (i like it's whole vibe and the Sanctuary is such a unique idea that i don't really see done). Fable 1 i just cannot get into no matter how hard i try but i really like the game itself.

    One thing the franchise does that i love is how the same locations are used decades later in the lore. It's so cool to see Bowerstone (the screenshot above overlooks the town), which was in all 3, throughout different eras of the worlds lore. My favorite of these is Wraithmarsh though, which is Oakvale from the first game. In fact, irc you can find ruins from the first game there. It gives the whole thing a creepy atmosphere knowing you've been there before and things are this messed up now.

    The game had a problem with flickering, especially in the spot above. I saw a patch for it online so i might try and see if that will help. Like i mentioned earlier though, i need to mess with Xenia and Proton so i'll have to see. For a Early 360 Game it looks really pretty though. I wish it got a PC port like Fable 1 and 3. Maybe with the upcoming reboot we'll get something, but i'm not crossing my fingers to be honest.

      Always wanted to play this one, but never enough to buy a console.

          Never played Fable 2 myself but I can do nothing but applaud the commitment at 316 days, utterly putting my bitch ass to shame. Love these posts ❤ Keep 'em coming

            I am surprised this wasn't ported to PC.

              I had an issue a few years ago where Xenia itself just would not work on SteamOS 3 (which is Arch Based IRC). I think i had to fix it by going into the Launch script that Emu Deck made and telling it to use a different version of Proton

                I'd suggest Xenia, but with the problems i've been having i'm not sure how viable that is, especially if you don't have a high spec computer

                  Totally, considering that Fable 1 and 3 got one (though i hear Fable 3's was horrendous and later delisted from steam)

                    There's definitely been some days that were rough just because i'd be busy all day that day or just couldn't decide what to play lol. I think the latter definitely shows in some of my posts where i just kind of spent an hour dicking around in a game with no clear goal. And not to mention i'm a student who's fortunate enough to not have to pay rent so i have a lot of free time. So don't be too hard on yourself
