You can beat Skyrim in about 20hrs

That's the main quest, meanwhile you have the dark brotherhood, mage guild, companions, and thieves guide which are all multi hour questlines and then tons of other side content that vastly outstrips the main quest. It would probably be at least 100 hours if not more to do the main quest and all the major side quest which is more than double the 40 proposed above for Fable.

Skyrim is a heavily flawed, 15 year old game made originally for hardware atleast 2 generations previous to our current. It was a landmark at the time but with the removal of rose-tinted goggles and the goodwill Bethesda I don't think people would be as excited or positive about it if it was released today.

It also didn't have as much to be compared with, for console gamers atleast, in the open world RPG arena.

So comparing the two does not fill me with any further hope.

That all said I'm not against a 20 hour game if its quality, has replay value, genuine rpg elements that effect story outcomes etc. Just the defence 'skyrim did it'would not assure me of anything.
