Fable III’s Collector’s Edition More Focused On DLC Than Swag
Stuffed toys and T-shirts are fine, and soundtracks and art books are nice distractions, but most of us ultimately buy games for the games. Right? That seems to be the reasoning behind the collector’s edition of Fable III, which forgoes loads of ancillary loot in favor of useful in-game content.
The special edition of the game will sell for $79.99 and includes a new quest and an exclusive location to explore. We don’t know if the exclusives will remain so forever or if it’s just a timed deal, but if you can’t live without them you’ll probably want to get the fancy version just in case.
Here’s a complete list of what you’ll get for your not-quite $80, straight from Lionhead:
• 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.
• “Fable III” 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.
• One unique outfit: Unearth one male and female outfit from the mysterious, faraway land of Aurora, a new destination in your “Fable III” adventures.
It’s all packed in a special box that probably won’t fit on your shelf. It looks nice, though. Look for both versions this holiday season.
