Being a big fan of Halloween and the Fall season in general I always really, really liked it when a big medieval themed game was released the week before Halloween. It seems to me the perfect time to release such a game, especially Castlevania. I can’t count the number of times Castlevania games shipped in November or December in the past, it was a little bit of a letdown since the Halloween season was all but over. Not so this year, thankfully with the Fable III Collector’s Edition
* A new quest: Uncover the mystery of the haunted forests of Silverpines and earn the legendary sword, Wolfsbane, deadly against wolves and balverines.
* Exclusive location: Unlock a new region, ideal for settling down with a family and discovering new treasures.
* Playing cards: Created by Lionhead, these cards depict every type of character in “Fable III,” including Heroes, royals, rebels and villains from across Albion and beyond.
* Guild Seal Coin: The coin features a Good side (blue) and Evil side (red) to assist players in making critical decisions that will impact the fate of the world forever.
* A new dog breed: Renowned for its loyalty, the Boxer is a brave canine companion worthy of greatest Queens and Kings.
Some of the interesting changes to Fable this time around are the lack of a power bar and removal of Fable II’s expression and experience systems. Another interesting Fable III tidbit was recently revealed in a CVG interview with Peter Molyneux:
Are there any more changes you haven’t talked about previously?
The biggest single change on the controller we’ve made is with the start button, traditionally it brings up a pause menu, a list of things in the world. This time if you press the start button we instantly go to somewhere called The Sanctuary, which you can walk around. This is a functional replacement of that list. It has everything – each room is something you’ve found in the game all visually done.We’ve got John Cleese to guide you through your rooms and make selections as your butler; he has recorded hundreds and thousands of lines.
custom case and contents are now visible with updated pictures at Amazon.
