Since this is my first post and I have no idea what I'm doing, it will be short and simple, and just focus on my appreciation for a particular game called Fable.
And depending on how good or evil the player want the character to be, affects how the NPCs interact with the main character. Whenever the character approaches a villager or traveler, the NPC will stutter and cower in fear or will applaud and cheer with admiration.
For those who are unfamiliar about the game, it basically an RPG (Role-Playing Game) that starts off in a land called Albion with a young boy (who eventually in the gameplay will be known as The Hero of Oakvale), whose village is sadly raided and nearly destroyed by a large group of bandits. Being the only survivor, the boy is found and taken into an organization called the Heroes' Guild, where he learns to fight and sharpen his skills, so that one day he can make a name for himself and be a Hero. Once graduating and proving to the Guild that he was ready to go off into the world, it's through his journey that he discovers something very strange and mysterious about his past, and it's up to the player to solve this mystery.
The main thing that I love about this game is that the missions or deeds that you do throughout the game, affect your overall appearance and interactions with the NPCs that are scattered in the villages and forests.
In the game, the main character's appearance and interactions are based off of the hero's morality alignment. This alignment is affected by deeds (good or evil) that the player can choose to complete in the game. The deeds can range from helping a village fend off bandits, or helping the bandits raid the village!!!
Instead of providing a lengthy, detailed description of the good/evil appearance, I'll just show you how drastically different the appearances are from one another:

Well, that's all I got to say in this blog. I said it would be small, but guess I got carried away. Oh well. Until next time everybody!
