First Four Paid DLC Packs For Fable III Revealed

This is all content that was done before they released their rushed, bug-ridden mess of a game. 
No thank you.

You think they'd upset less people if they just announced these one at a time....

" Molyeneux went nuts with the DLC this time. "

Devs need to follow Rockstar and actually make substantial DLC and not these small add ons. 

I'll go back to Albion for this content.
 
I doubt it'll save the game but it'll add something.

This sounds exactly like the kind of stuff that embodies lame ass DLC. Sigh.

If they include this DLC in the PC version then I may buy it. Maybe.

" I personally think DLC and online patches were the worst thing that has happened to the gaming industry.  It allows companies to release unfinished games with the thought of either patching bugs (why even test games anymore?) or adding content that was originally slated to be in the game.    The problem is that they are making buckets of money from this stuff.  For every 1 person that remembers how complete games used to be 10-15 years ago, there are 2 that will drop $5 from their parent's credit card without even thinking twice.  Why should any gaming company be satisfied with spending several million dollars on development to sell a $60 game when they can hold back features and eventually sell a $85 ($60 + DLC) game when it has finally been completed?    Simple math that our nickel and dime society is fully justifying.  "

If they rolled everything together into the Understone Quest pack and still priced it at 400 points, I might be interested.  
 
As it is now, I certainly won't be buying a single item.

kinda milking it.

A lot of angry people here. I don't think those packs are too unreasonable, I mean, you can pay more to dress up your Avatar and  other pointless shit. 80MSP is basically the money you find at the back of your couch and everyone has it sitting there at least after downloading other things. No one is pressuring you to buy this stuff.  
 
I think the only way I'd be angry about this is if the download was only a few KB and already on the disc. If not, I'll be happy and fork out for all four packs. Fable 3 is a quality game, regardless of what some people believe (some people who be hatin' haven't even played it), so I look forward to more customisation and a new quest. 
 
Lets all just BAWWWW a little less guys.

I played Fable 3 and enjoyed it.. I'm probably alone in that it seems, even though the end game was way too easy.. hell, the whole game was, but I did enjoy it and playing through it.  Even felt bad when about keeping my promises as a King and it turns out that.. wellt.. whatever. 
 
 I'll pick up any missions that come along, but paying for clothes and hair styles feels like a slight abuse of micro-transactions, but then again no one *has* to buy those..  just like no one has to buy ever single song that comes out for Rock Band. I'll even admit I spent a buck on the dyes! I had to have black dammit!! ..but I did use one of the 2 dollars in space points I was given from using that terrible, horrible Bing tool bar, so it's okay.

What about a language pack ?

Wait people are still playing this? I beat this game the first week and sold it back. Didn't even bother with relationships and interactions in this one it was so awful. As much as I hated Fable 2's ending I'd rather play that one instead of this one. It actually felt like a Fable game.

It would be better if they had announced a date for the patch, that's kind of more important.
 
You know, because the game is kind of broken.

" If they announce it this soon then it should have been in the game from start.  "

Whats with all this anti-DLC talk? I for one love DLC since it gives me more of a game I liked. 
 
And saying that it should have been in the game from the start is just retarded and you don't know anything about game development. 
I'm not claming I know everything about game development but I do know that the feature set for a game is set months before relese. When a game enters alpha then the game is said to be feature complete(not all developers work the same or have the same definition of alpha but from interviews most developers say that when a game enters alpha its feature locked). There might be stuff put into the game during alpha but its usually small things. When a game enters beta its pretty much done and all thats left is polish and testing and this could be more then half a year before relese. 
At this point its not uncommon that some ppl in the team go on to work on a new game or DLC. 
 
If you think that some guy can just come and say something like "hey, I have this awesome quest here that would be great in the game" a month and a half before relese then you are simply stupid. DLC is nothing you throw together in a week. Its alot of work and not something you can just throw together and put out or put into the game just like that.

if they put a lot of effort on the PC version of this game like they did with Fable the Lost Chapters i will give it a try...i have to admit though that they made it so easy to reach a broader audience...

I took this game back. I didn't like it at all. Fable 3 was just to boring having to watch the interact animations for hours.

Well maybe I'll buy the Understone Quest at some point, but buying items and hairstyles doesn't appeal to me. They should have grouped them all together. I hate it when Bioware has separate weapons and armor packs too. 
 
I'm surprised people are so against DLC in general. I think DLC is a great way to expand a game. If it's not something I KNOW I want, I just wait until it's out and read reviews on it. That way I'll know if I'm getting a worthwhile experience.

" You think they'd upset less people if they just announced these one at a time.... "

Between all of the complaints put forth on the bombcast about Fable 3 itself  and the announcement of bullshit DLC, I've been kind of soured on this game. Which is too bad considering how much I loved Fable 2 and how excited I was for 3.

" Devs need to follow Rockstar and actually make substantial DLC and not these small add ons.  "

I've had Fable III since launch and haven't even unwrapped it, yet. I'm not really expecting to do so any time soon. I will absolutely not buy any of their shitty DLC to encourage them putting out more "last version.... POINT FIVE" games that regress on a lot of points and ship in a poor state, this far into the console cycle. I would like to see the Fable franchise put to death.

" BALLS!  I guess there won't be anything as good as The Lost Chapters again.  "

You know, everybody is screaming to high hell about this. Here is a secret I learned a long time ago..... 
 
DON'T BUY IT!!

Agreed. I pretty much stay away from all DLC just out of principle. Sure, some of the stuff released might actually be worth the price, but there's so much that clearly isn't.  To further make all that DLC seem like even more of a rip-off you just need to take a look at the PC, where all that stuff is mostly free, or at least really cheap. I don't understand how anyone that is familiar with Steam sales would ever accept the pricing structure of DLC map packs and in-game items that Microsoft carries. "

so many cry babies these days damn
 
like teaspoon said, if you don't like DLC, don't fuckin' buy it.  hell i liked the game and i'm not gonna buy it
 
for the record, i think giantbomb did a fantastic job of making sure people don't give this game a sporting chance and/or are generally soured about it, many of whom are taking the time to bitch about it here even if they haven't played it 
 
like every game ever made in the history of games, it's not without issue, but i liked Fable 3

What the fuck? This was clearly chopped from the final build before going gold. DLC is supposed to breath new life and excitement in to a well established title, not find a way to sell a $60 game for $70.
 
If you buy this, you should feel ashamed of your newly cornrowed head.

Great, now John Cleese won't ever shut up with about items in the sanctuary shop.

" Great, now John Cleese won't ever shut up with about items in the sanctuary shop. "

It's a pity I just don't like the game enough to want any of these. At all. 
 
I'll be waving goodbye Friday, when I pick up AC: Brotherhood.

You're kidding me right? I finished the game and theres no way I want to do it all over again. I didn't even like the game and there's no way I'm paying extra. Pardon my french but FUCK THAT!

Are you really surprised to see clothing and hairstyles for DLC? Many, many games have been doing this for years. Why such a sudden surge of hate now?

I'm disappointed that you can't also earn these items in game, outside of the quest pack of course
