You have a choice

You can choose to do what the game plot line tells you to do, or you can choose to not play the game

Your choice

Your in-game choice is limited: you can only follow the plot.

Your out-of-game choice, meanwhile, is unlimited: you can hack/mod the game to add any choice you can imagine.

Sure, most people don't do that - don't even KNOW HOW to do that - but the choice is still there.

(Reading through the childhood bully choices ...) What, there is no option to go and save his mother using the bully as improvised weapon?

("Now stand here" - "What?" - *punch* - bully falls back and crush two bugs with his back - "Hurry, stand up, there is still twenty bugs to kill")

I don't know about Fable (or Parable) but often you also have the choice to wander around in the area accessible to you without advancing the plot, until you've done everything there is to do there and/or get bored.

Why do I want to quote Rush about now?

"You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice

You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose free will"

There is at least one game  where it would be extremely hard if not impossible to NOT get any achievement for significant amount of time ... hmm ... actually seems there are three now, but in the third one you CAN get stuck before start.

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

This might be the first time some countered Rush with The Eagles.

[Darth Fluffy 338]

You've got to know when to hold 'em
(When to hold 'em)
Know when to fold 'em
(When to fold 'em)
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealing's done
