My blog has turned into a bit of a
Fable III fan site over the last few weeks, with news of the game slowly being released, together with the launch of the Fable III Kingmaker smartphone app. That trend continues with this post, as I received - a day before the European launch - the Limited Collector's Edition of the game in the post today (thanks shopto.net).
It's a lovely package, similar to the
Alan Wake Limited Edition of a few months ago, in that the box is fashioned like a hardback book, with an outer slipcase.
Internet purchasers - it doesn't fit through a letterbox
It really is very 'bookie'
Inside the 'book' is the game box itself, sitting on a shelf that divides the inside in two. Extra content is included in a hidden drawer that is pulled out from underneath this shelf.
et voila
The drawer reveals a pack of Fable III cards and a large, heavy, metal, coin that has a 'good' and an 'evil' side, ideal for assisting with all of those tricky questions in life.
The obverse
The side that isn't the obverse
The playing cards have Fable characters portrayed on the court cards, the aces and the jokers.
The illustrations are lovingly-reproduced
And there's a game as well! As is usual with these packages, there is some exclusive content available for download - a new region (Hunter's Lodge), which contains a unique outfit from the land of Aurora, a new breed of dog (the Boxer) and an exclusive quest (in which the player can earn the legendary sword, Wolfsbane).
The package in full
And now I'm off to play the game (having booked tomorrow off work)!
