Joystiq thinks that this DLC might have some sort of connection with Fable III's in-game shop, which if you didn't know, will allow people to purchase extra content without having to mess with the Xbox Live Marketplace. At a presentation, Fable creator Peter Molyneux suggested that items like the above, as well as weapons, would be sold at a real cost via this conduit. Hello, micro-transactions and savings (provided these items will be offered.)
Fable III hits on October 26. You can also buy this particular Fable book and receive some free DLC in advance, too, if you're the collector type that is interested in such things.
This wouldn't be enough if I wasn't a fan of the series. But as it is, I really did enjoy Fable 2, so I have already preordered a copy. This is a little bit of cool extras, but nothing I'd go out of my way to snatch up.
Baaad marketing campaign. They didn't show the game enough...
Free dlc bundled with the game is allways welcome. I am looking forward to seeing how this game plays out as I liked number 2 but I hope they fix issues that game had such as co-op forcing players to be on the same screen area at all times.
It seems like a lot of people feel a little in the dark about Fable III. I wonder if Lionhead put less information out there this time so people won't know exactly what to expect. i think that'd be a better marketing move for them, anyway.
I'm in the same boat. I have no idea what kind of game Fable 3 is trying to be. That is what will keep me from getting it day one....
Yes and potions aside from healing ones in Fable tend to be permanent - Skill, Will and Strength potions all boost your stats permanently, same goes for the Height, Weight, and Skin related potions. Nothing about 'Slow Time Potion' potion suggests it will be single use - that would be worthless.
