I, moron like I am, forgot to back-up my files before I began modding. Is there any way to restore originals without the backups? I don't care about my saves, if that affects it...

Two options. One is to grab clean copies of the archives/files you need right off of your retail discs. The other option is to uninstall, delete your Fable install directory (to get anything that the uninstaller misses, which does happen), and then reinstall.

Don't ask us to upload original files because, as I said last time, I'll ban the next person who asks us to do that outright.

Where would the install directory be?

Edit: Thanks, by the way.

Wherever you installed fable...

...well at least I can be glad you're going with the uninstall/reinstall option.
