# Fable II — Fable 2 Recompiled Canonical: https://playable.wtf/games/himdo-fable-2-recomp/ Project ID: project:himdo-fable-2-recomp A Windows recompilation targeting supported Fable II Game of the Year editions. ## About this version A Windows recompilation targeting supported Fable II Game of the Year editions. The creator reports completing the story but explicitly does not consider the project fully complete or 100% tested. Native download. RPG. [Download on creator site](https://github.com/himdo/Fable-2-Recomp/releases/tag/1.5.0) ## A hero’s life beyond the next fight Fable II follows a hero through Albion, with fighting, guns and magic sitting alongside relationships and consequential choices. Your dog accompanies exploration, and the original game lets you make friends, build a family and meet the people of its towns and countryside. Its appeal is shaping a life and reputation as well as completing an adventure. That is the original game’s premise. This Windows project is a separate fan implementation of a supported Xbox 360 edition, not a new official PC release.

Supported inputs are the specified GOTY editions, with executable-revision checking during setup. The safest starting point is the documented USA/Europe or German GOTY input, rather than assuming every disc or download edition matches. The launcher can extract the required executable and data from an ISO and configure presentation options. It checks the executable revision before continuing the full import. The owned game remains necessary; the project supplies the host software.

Mouse movement therefore acts as a controller-style deflection rather than promising unrestricted PC-shooter aiming. Bindings and sensitivity can be adjusted in the project configuration. The original on-screen prompts have not all been changed to keyboard labels. Learn how your chosen keys map to the displayed controller buttons before a complicated encounter. A real controller can continue to work alongside the keyboard mapping.

Back up that folder before replacing or moving an installation. The launcher preserves its own preferences separately from the runtime configuration. Resolution, filtering and frame-rate controls are available in the launcher, while several rendering and platform goals remain unfinished. In particular, Linux and Vulkan appear as planned work. Choose settings within what the current Windows build actually offers rather than treating the development checklist as a finished feature list.

An owned supported Fable II GOTY USA/Europe or German GOTY disc image. Setup extracts default.xex and data/; other XEX revisions are rejected. Creator-reported: [Project guide](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/himdo/Fable-2-Recomp/HEAD/README.md) ## How do I get started? Extract the Windows release, use the launcher’s ISO import for a supported disc, or place default.xex and data/ in its game-data directory. Creator-reported: [Project guide](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/himdo/Fable-2-Recomp/HEAD/README.md) ## Which devices and browsers work? The checked release provides a Windows package. Creator-reported: [Project guide](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/himdo/Fable-2-Recomp/HEAD/README.md) ## What are the controls? Gamepad input and keyboard/mouse-to-gamepad mappings are documented. Creator-reported: [Project guide](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/himdo/Fable-2-Recomp/HEAD/README.md) ## How do saves work? Saves live under the build directory’s saves folder; the README recommends backing it up between builds.

The creator reports completing the story but explicitly does not consider the project fully complete or 100% tested.
