I had the Lost Chapters version of the first Fable which had the extended ending and some more quests. I had paid absolutely no attention to the hype around the game so I enjoyed it probably more than most since I wasn't let down by all the expectations Peter kept going on about that the game would include in it.
Only thing I really didn't like about the second one was the inability to die in it. Granted the combat is super easy anyway and you could just reload a save, but I at least like there to be the potential of failure.
The third one had an alright concept for the storyline but it completely fucked up the execution of it.
Played the evil path in all three naturally. (Though didn't put on the Jack of Blades mask since I figured that just destroys your soul and you get possessed like a meat puppet)
