Genma:TheDestroyer
Arcane
Anyway, I've played all three and liked the first two. Three should only be played if you're interested in the lore and running into a couple returning characters, and that goes double for Journey.
Something fucked up that Journey lets us in on:
Theresa. Oh man. She reveals in Fable: The Journey (that Kinect game), that she was the one who induced the mysterious ailment that killed the wife and daughter of Lucien, Fable II's main antagonist. Why? Because she read about the Spire, wanted it, and knew that he was the only person with enough resources and drive to build it if given a need. So she killed his family and left bread crumbs about the Spire being able to grant his wish. So everything Lucien does from then on out, the terrorism, mass killings and slavery, robbery, basically supervilain stuff is her fault. Including the events that ruined the life of Sparrow, Fable II's hero. Who she then adopted and pointed at Lucien with a 'Get'em'. He did so, and she got the Spire.
Now if this wasn't bad enough, it's revealed that the baddie of Fable III, the Crawler, was a subordinate of the Fable: Journey antagonist the Corruptor. Who was awakened with the building of the Spire. The Crawler, depending on your preparations over the course of Fable III, may have killed over 6,500,000 people. Millions. Even if we say that the Fable III hero raised the perfect army and held him off (Fable Journey allows imports of III saves), the Crawler still performed mass genocide in the land of Aurora before it came to Albion.
And then there is the entirety of Fable: Journey, where someone has to fight off the Corruptor and his other lieutenants. The events of Fable II, III and Journey are all trickle down from Theresa's actions. Innumerable people have died, and many times that suffered.
If the Hero of Oakvale (Fable 1 Hero) had simply been an evil dick and killed her for the Sword of Aeons, all of it could have been averted. He likely would have a kicked around for a century or so and then vanished when he got bored, just like the official good version did. And Albion would have had a peaceful stride into modernity, ignoring the Hobbes and Balverines and that douchebag Reaver.
