Make Your Own Chicken Chasing Villager In Fable III

Making the villager is free, but how do you bring the peon into the game?

Thanks to Microsoft and Lionhead, I will finally have the opportunity to fart on myself.
 
How did we, as a society, reach this newest technological height? It's all thanks to Microsoft and Lionhead newest preorder incentive, the Fable III Villager Maker, allowing game players to craft a unique-ish villager and bring that sod into your digital kingdom when Fable III is properly released on October 26.
 
Here's how it goes down: right now, if you've got a computer (and that dang Silverlight add-on... I feel like I've installed that thing 20 times this year), you can go to the Fable III Villager Maker, which is being run through the Microsoft Xbox site. Here, you can design your design your villager, selecting their gender, clothing, accent, personality, hair style, region of origin, and back story.  
 
Once you've made your villager, you can than proceed not to do anything meaningful with them. The game's not out for another three months anyway. You can export your villager and make it your desktop wallpaper. If that's your thing.
 
Oh, and you can share your villager with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. 


Don't tweet your Fable III villager. Don't be that guy.
Don't tweet your Fable III villager. Don't be that guy.

 
If you were actually interested in utilizing your villager in your personal version of Albion, you're gonna have to buy in, and gold don't cut it: if you preorder the game, you will receive the code that lets you import your villager into Fable III. Your imported villager unlocks a unique quest and a 1,000 gold reward for your trouble, which doesn't seem that much compared to my real estate empire I amassed in Fable II
 
But, for the record: you can fart on yourself. A preorder at one of a very select list of retailers is a small price to pay.

If you can make out with  your villager you can live out the Robot Chicken line of, "It's not gay; It's masturbation."

I never finished Fable II. Got kind of sidetracked half way through with other games and eventually sent it back to Gamefly in order to keep myself from succumbing to the monthly money drain it would eventually become. Not sure if I want to go back and finish really but I leave so many other games halfway done maybe I should...Anyway, I might get Fable III.

That`s great. I do wonder if we could make the chicken chaser  Onomatopoeic.

I agree. 
But this all seems like a bit of a pointless gimmick

See, this is a problem for me.  Heck, I love British comedies and I cannot for the life of me get into any Fable game; it's almost as if some small 8 year old child who was shown LoTR for the first time while with his immature, gassy friends were with him was handed the reigns of the game's development.

This will just lead to me making a bunch of people I know populate the Fable III world, and who wants that?

I'm loving Kessler's twitter feed in that screenshot. lol. But to be more on topic.  
 
Uhh... What is this I don't even... 
 The best part is that you can download it as a wallpaper. Priceless.

That's another bullet point in my "Why I dont like Fable Anymore" blog.lol. I know the series is suppose to be light-hearted but most of it is just childish. Isnt Fable 3 suppose to be more "dark" and "mature" in tone?

I enjoyed playing Fable II but once again it seemed like Lionhead made more promises that it couldn't follow through on. But making your own villager seems kind of gimmicky, and not really important in any way. I'd rather make my own awesome weapon.

I was interested until I saw the part about only being able to utilize the villager if you preorder. Still, probably won't stop me from making one anyway. Hu.

3 months?  This is not the way to hype us up for Fable III.  I know Molyneux has some other extravagant ideas he could have given us instead.
