F1 I could do...but I feel like I'd be stuck on the options and end up flubbing it. F3 gives me a few key options that I can work with to build my own character out of, which is what an allusion is supposed to do. Well, that's mostly because they reduced and simplified things after already simplifying them.

Combat-wise, I see what you mean. The Hero of Oakvale had a 1H or 2H melee weapon (though the Sword of Aeons, that not-so-OP thing I killed his sister for, is 1H), a Bow or Crossbow (Bows FTW), and a variety of spells (from the simple "FIREBALL" to the gimmicky "Create multiple homing arrows that severely decrease damage because most of them miss").

The Hero of Brightwall has.....a melee weapon, a cheap gun, and some magic gloves with less than 10 spells (spell-combining aside). The former 2 don't matter shit since Magic is severely OP, while the gloves don't matter shit because just spamming the Y button makes the Hero shoot the gun at everything without looking and headshoting everyone while blindfolded.

.........Damn you Lionhead. Fable 1 required at least a bit of Skill. Fable 3 was for babies with cataplexy.

Backstory-wise though, I think the Hero of Oakvale is more "balanced". The Hero of Brightwall was the sibling of the Dicktator of a flourishing industrial city, and tries to form a Revolution by making tons of promises that should not always be kept.

The Hero of Oakvale was a simple kid whose town got ravaged and burnt by bandits, then got rescued by a Hero, was trained to become a Hero like his mother, and did become a Badass Hero in the process.
