Is it just me, or is Fable a little boring?

I just got Fable for my Xbox, and I must say, with all the anticipation for this game I had building up inside of me, I must say I am relatively unimpressed with this game. There just doesn't seem to be much glue behind this game to draw you into its storyline and gameplay. I like what I've done so far, but without the challenges and without the character developement I find myself bored out of my wits exploring the towns, etc. I think this game would have been leaps and bounds better if it had dialogue trees for you to choose from.

Anyway, I'm just here to ask if this game picks up and sucks you in, or is it much of the same all the way though? I suppose these free-roaming RPGs aren't for me, because I found myself purchasing Morrowind and only playing it for a mere half-an-hour before getting tired of it.

I rented it when it first came out and I thought it was kinda boring also. I just didnt get that sucked into the gameplay. Most people have said its great and even some people have declared it the best RPG to ever come out but to me its no Final Fantasy. Those are games that I can really get into.

But to make things short.....yes it is a little boring.

It was fun for the first couple hours. But after that, it got boring. Sure they added a ton of side things to do. But even that got old, I mean, at first the idea of taking over a town to make money is fun. But then after doing it, you just don't wanna go to another town and do it.

And it's certainly not Best RPG Ever worthy. And yes, I did play it for more then 30 minutes, I forced myself to beat it.
