This is my first in depth review of a Game here on Steam.

I'll divide my review into the typical; Good, Bad, And Ugly.
I hope you find my review helpful in more way that one.

Good: Graphics overhaul;
The graphics were improved drastically since the release of TLC. Lighting was improved, as well as minor details such as foliage, bumpmapping on armour and weapons. The character models recieved smoother animations, along with better voice recognition so the character mouths don't look so rigid or twitchy. The lighting and shadows were also improved to give the overall look of the game a much greater atomosphere.

Sound;
If you notice one thing like I have, it's that most, if not all of the original sounds, from combat, ambient sounds, to the sound track, sound exactly the same as they did in the original and TLC. I'm glad they decided to go this route as to keep a sense of nostalgia. No use redoing what you already had done, right? Now don't get me wrong, a lot of the voice acting in the Original Fable along with TLC was attrocious by any means. They could have gone out and tried to rerecord all of the voice acting, but it's been several years since the original voice actors recorded. Also, it wouldn't be much of an "Anniversary" Edition with different vocals. I'm glad they decided to keep all of the original voices, because it brings back memories from when we played the original and keeps continuity.

Mod Support;
Lionhead has gone out of their way and addedgiven us a completely modable version of the game, even though it is quite limited as of right now. Just think of wht people could do. They could add entire new quests, create new weapons, new spells, new environments, and a plethera of other content. I'm waiting to see what the entire community has to offer .

Now for the Bad.

Keyboard And Mouse Support;
When TLC launched for PC back in the day, it had a UI designed for PC users in mind. The in game menus had mull mouse support and you could rebind keys to fit your unique play style. This time around, they developed the game with Console controls solely in mind. Annoying and trivial key presses to navigate the menus, keys rebinding themselves or failing to bind after changing them(in my experience.) It's almost as if they want PC players to go out and buy 360 controllers for their PC's just to play this game. I hope they're able to fully reimplement Mouse Support in the coming updates.

Paid Addon DLC;
I can't really understand why they are doing this. It seems as if they're taking a page straight from EA's play book when it comes to addon Content. $15 just for some extra weapons/outfits that aren't even better than what you can find already in the base game? I can maybe understaing having maybe a season pass if they were to release some extra story missions, or even to have you play as another person in a paralell story. But that wasn't the case.

Last but not least, The Ugly.

Reworked facial models;
I can understand revamping the textures and models to utilize the newest technology, but they blew it when they completely recreated facial modles for most if not all of the main characters, including The Hero. All of the faces we grew to love and hate were completely scrapped and the one's we were given weren't all that good either.

Character Progression;
Yes, The same hack and slash/Grinding for Experience mechanic is still there, but there was no deeper involvement than that. The same body types, from Slim through Obese, are still the only options. In some of the preview videos for the skill trees, The Hero can be seen as a person with near body builder proportions. But we don't really see that in the game(at least I haven't, if there's something I'm doing wrong in game, please let me know.)

This concludes my in depth review of Fable Anniversary. I would recomend this game to anyone enjoyed the first one who is looking for a visual upgrade, just don't expect anything spectacular.
