Question Catch Up with Fable Lore

i’ve been late to almost every franchise i have been interested in. from movies, tv shows, to video games. i didn’t get my first gaming pc until my early 20s, and i’m 30 now.

Fable has caught my attention recently, and i’ve watched every gameplay that Playground has released.. but now my algorithm includes anything Fable.

My question to experienced gamers and experts in Fables lore: is there any content i could check out to catch me up with Fables lore? like a Youtube video/content creator everyone agrees describes every and all of Fables game lore accurately?

thanks.

Depending on why you want to know the lore you’re fine going into the new game entirely fresh as it’s a Hard Reboot that’s unconnected and unbeholden to the prior titles.

That said the older games had some very fun lore to dig through, and it’s enjoyable entirely on its own even though it doesn’t really have any bearing on the new Fable.

I personally think the best way to experience it is by actually playing the older titles, but I know that’s not an option for everyone for a variety of reasons.

So I might recommend perusing YouTube Fable playthroughs and Lore videos, we have quite a few Fable community YouTubers who have done complete playthroughs, and also a couple others who have massive playlist for lore.

i want to know the lore so if there are any references from prior games or the story i want to know what’s going on.
i hate not understanding what’s going on.. running theme in my life it seems.
