Fable is still a long way off, and fans of the legendary series born from the time of Peter Molyneaux and Lionhead Studios are patiently waiting for the reboot. And while fans wait for this great title, why not enjoy some great RPGs that can satisfy their thirst for adventure?

Below are some great RPGs that will entertain players for hours and make the wait worth it Fable at least more bearable. From an original mix of classic tabletop and turn-based RPGs to a remastered classic JRPG that's back better than ever.

1 Wildermyth

A very special type of game with a lot of replayability

Wildermyth is a fairly unique game with a mix of TTRPG-style story and exploration and turn-based combat on a board system with animated pawns. Each game is different, and players can enjoy multiple campaigns with a certain setting, but with different results. In this game, the heroes will grow old, lose their weapons, form relationships, get married, have children, recruit and train the new generation of heroes and so on.

There is no “time limit” per se, but characters and their hometowns may suffer “invasions” from certain enemies, or some events are limited in time and require immediate resolution. So players must be very careful when playing each scenario and pay attention to the events and warnings in the game. The best part about Wildermyth it's its replayability that can provide thousands of hours of fun solo or with friends.

2 Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning

Fun combat, fun RPG mechanics

The remaster of the 2012 classic with HD textures and all DLCs, including new areas to explore. Kingdoms of Amalur it's a pretty amazing game with fun gameplay and thrilling battle mechanics. The story is a little stiff, but still quite engaging once players get into it.

The good thing about this game is that it allows players to build a lot of different types of characters thanks to its Destinies system, which unlocks bonuses and passive abilities based on the attributes that fans decide to boost: Strength, Finance, or Sorcery.

3 Baldur's Gate 3

If you liked Fable's morality system, you'll love this game

Baldur's Gate 3 is the third instance of the legendary saga started by Bioware, but brought to the modern audience (and the best) by Larian Studios. If gamers are looking for the ideal RPG to pass the time until the new Fable it comes out, then stop looking. Its replayability, unpredictability and fun mechanics make it the best choice for adventure seekers.

Its world building and narrative design are top notch, and in case those who haven't played it are wondering: yes, it allows players to be the baddies of the story. With its classically based moral system D&D, no choice is exempt from wreaking havoc, even more so if players choose the dangerous Dark Urge as their Origin Character. Let the slaughter begin!

4 Fallout 4

A great time to re-visit and perhaps make some changes

Fallout 4 it's better than ever, even more so with the release of the mod Fallout: London which transforms the game into a completely different story, with new NPCs, quests and fully voiced characters, and a new companion to accompany the residents on their journey through the alleys of post-apocalyptic London.

while Fallout: London is just one of the many excuses to play this great game, players should also be aware that there are thousands of other modes that add to the total Fallout 4 experience and will allow them to experiment while they wait Fable to be released. Probably the best way to play any Bethesda game that has mods is to follow some mod guides and install some pre-arranged collections to avoid compatibility issues. But for players who want to experiment, the game has a lot of “officially recognized” mods that can be downloaded from the game menu. Just try not to overdo it as the GPU might explode.

5 Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster

A timeless masterpiece with an incredible story

Suikoden is an underrated JRPG with an engaging story and engaging combat mechanics, quirky characters, and beautiful classic design. Suikoden I & II HD Remaster brings all the good things of the original two games in the series with a revamped look but the same good old flavor.

It's a great game to while away the time Fable hits stores in 2025, and most importantly, it has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, composed by the legendary and talented Miki Higashino: one of the four pillars of video game music composition. Anyway, the whole Suikoden franchising is a significant investment of time. The first two games do not consume much time, the third and fourth increase the difficulty and complexity of the plot and Suikoden 4 it is extremely grindy due to its high encounter rate. The fifth game is a masterpiece and will grip players for hours.
