* DracoInLeatherPants:
** ''Reaver''. Some fans like to portray him as a {{Woobie}} who cries nightly over what he's done, or that he has been abused in the past to excuse his awful behaviour. He's often in love with the Hero of Bowerstone, but sees himself as a monster. [[spoiler: Granted some of Reaver's diaries imply that he might feel guilty about what he did to Oakvale, but he also claims that he's no longer that man.]]



* EvenBetterSequel:
** Many consider ''Fable II'' to be the best game in the series. It streamlined the best features of ''VideoGame/FableI'' but kept the same charm and humour. The graphics are improved, the battle system is a lot more fluid, and there is much more of Albion to explore. The addition of a dog companion was also extremely well received.



* FanficFuel:
** What happened to [[spoiler: Theresa between the events of ''Fable I'' and ''Fable II'' and how she effectively became immortal.]]
** Reaver's backstory [[spoiler: post Oakvale and before the events of ''Fable II''.]]



** The Commandant is ''the'' hardest boss in the game. You only have access to three healing potions, weaker weapons [[spoiler: and if you chose the 'good' options while in the Spire, you might have even temporarily lost an ability or two.]] He hits hard, spams long range will attacks, summons Spire Guards to help him ''and'' the fight is in a very small area.



* HellIsThatNoise:
** The soft ''whoosh'' noise that wisps make when they enter the ground to revive skeletons into Hollowmen. Quickly followed by undead growls.
* KarmaHoudini:
** Reaver. He gets away with all of the awful things that he does, and nothing bad ever happens to him in return. [[spoiler: You could argue that losing his hometown of Oakvale was a sort of punishment, but {{YMMV}} on how it effects him in his later life.]]

* TheScrappy:
** Sam and Max aren't well liked because their sidequests include them doing something stupid, and the Hero having to clean up after them. They're never all that grateful when you save them, either, and their supposed humour is hit and miss for most players. [[spoiler: They return in ''VideoGame/FableIII'' from the ''grave'' to screw things over for the Hero of Brightwall too.]]

* CompleteMonster: Reaver. In the [[VideoGame/FableII second game]] he manages to double cross the main character at least twice and was revealed to be the person responsible for [[spoiler: the destruction of Oakvale, though he actually regretted that action in the past (key emphasis on the past tense in that statement)]]. In the [[VideoGame/FableIII third game]] he [[CorruptCorporateExecutive controls the Bowerstone industrial sector]], which he forces children to work in factories and shoots workers who slow or grow tired, protest, or break some unannounced rule he has yet to think up. He also acts as an advisor to the king in which his suggestions will be something along the lines of deforestation and tearing down a school to make room for a whorehouse.

* EnsembleDarkhorse
** Barnum is well liked for his single minded determination, his somewhat shady ideas, and his surprisingly good inventions. He's also very funny, and is unfailingly kind towards the player [[spoiler: and keeps his word when it comes to giving them gold for posing for a photograph in their childhood, and improving Westcliff if you loan him some start up gold; which he returns ''with'' interest. Unfortunately Reaver kills him when Barnum mentions it will take time for his photograph to develop, something even the more devoted Reaver fans were upset about.]]
* EvilIsCool:
** Reaver is an incredibly popular character [[spoiler: which is why he was bought back for ''Fable III''.]]


Added DiffLines:

* FoeYay:
** Reaver/The Hero of Bowerstone is easily the most popular ship in the fandom, regardless of gender. It's fueled by the fact Reaver does somewhat flirt with the Hero in game.
** Reaver/Garth is also quite popular. [[spoiler: Enough that you can find a ''book'' about it in Fable III, written by an [[TakeThat obsessed fangirl.]]]]
** The Hero of Bowerstone/The Commandant has a small but dedicated following.
* GoddamnedBats:
** Hollowmen. They attack in large numbers and they are absolutely ''everywhere'' that resembles a tomb.


Added DiffLines:

* GoodBadBugs:
** There's a house in Bowerstone Market called 'Monster Manor' which temporarily gives your character an extra star in Pysique if you sleep there. However, unlike in other houses with the Bodybuilder bonus, you can infinitely 'unlearn' the ability to get free experience points. You can max our your Hero's stats in under an hour using this method.
* MagnificentBastard:
** ''Reaver''. He's handsome, charming, and [[spoiler: tries to trick the Hero into losing their youth the moment he meets them. He destroyed his hometown so he can achieve eternal youth, shoots a sculptor for not getting his buttocks right, kills Barnum because photographs take time to develop, and can kill Lucien before the Hero gets a chance to if you aren't quick enough.]]

Then, when she thinks that they're going to get to live in Fairfax Castle, she's shot and killed in cold blood. [[spoiler: If the Banshees are telling the truth, Rose also didn't die right away from the first shot. She had to listen as her younger sibling was shot out of the window, heard their body hit the ground, and ''cried'' before Lucien finished her off with a final shot.]]

** Lord Lucien shoots two children in cold blood in his first appearance, employs forced labor on a grand scale, and kills the Hero's family and dog at the end. He expresses remorse and reservations early on, but this rings hollow as he doesn't look for alternatives. While driven mad by his loss of his wife and daughter, he has no respect of the life of others, increasingly so as the game wears on. He considers himself a WellIntentionedExtremist, but his FreudianExcuse does not excuse his actions.

In charge of indoctrinating recruits into the Spire Guards, he basically keeps you as a prisoner for 10 years of your life while regularly forcing you to perform horrible acts.

If you comply, he beats you senseless while forcing you to thank him for doing so. Yeah.
