Damn, you are becoming my favorite mod!

This was my favorite stylized Western RPG last gen. Fell in love with the combat, customization, and art direction. This game had one of my favorite battle systems in all RPG games (Western).
Didn't care much for the story though.

The story is its greatest weakness.  But so much of what you described needs to be stolen by Fable.

If Fable improved its combat in particular, it could really make a leap into the RPG big leagues!  I have been longing for a WRPG with such great combat!

THIS IS SO TRUE...

I enjoyed what I played from the 1st game, will start the second this week, and thought the 3rd was good, but none touched the gameplay of Kingdoms. 

It was just so much fun to play, it wasn't just a simple button press like Skyrim sometimes felt, but the whole system had nice depth to it. Makes me sad we will never see a sequel :(

I haven't started the DLC yet, been saving it.  Might knock one section of it off tonight.  I can see why some people in this thread view the combat as repetitive.  But I help myself out with it.  If I need to up the difficulty I do, and I tend to switch weapon loadouts fairly regularly to explore different play styles.

The first Fable is the best Fable.  2 is better than 3 was - but even I have to admit neither of them quite capture the magic of the first.
