More On: Fable 3
An added incentive for pre-ordering Fable III has just been announced.  Fans will be able to use a "Villager Maker" tool to create a villager that will be used by the game.  The villager will initially deliver a quest as well as 1,000 in-game gold, but will continue to interact with the hero as they become ruler of Albion.

There are over 2,000 different variants when creating your character, which includes different backstories, personality traits, accessories, clothing, accents, and more.  That's an interesting pre-order bonus.  Grab more details in the press release or click here to get started with the Villager Maker.

Great heroes of the past and present all know one thing is true: the revolution starts with you. That’s why Microsoft and Lionhead Studios are giving fans the chance to get into the action now before “Fable III” launches in the U.S. on Oct. 26. With the all-new character creator tool, called the “Fable III” Villager Maker, fans who pre-order the game can create and bring their personalized villager to life. Your custom in-game villager will deliver to your hero a thrilling new quest and 1,000 gold fortune, and then continue to interact with you on your journey to become ruler of Albion.

The Villager Maker, launching today in the U.S. and U.K. and worldwide later this week, is available for everyone to access and experiment with at www.xbox.com/fable3. Fans can utilize the tool to create a male or female villager with more than 2,000 different variations, including an enthralling backstory for the character, unique personality traits, clothing, accent, hairstyles and the region they hail from. Whether you create a valiant ally, an evil villain, or perhaps the perfect spouse, let your imagination run free as you make your mark in the fantastical world of “Fable III.”

The fun doesn’t stop there. With the Villager Maker, you’ll be able to save your character as a desktop wallpaper and share your creation with your friends on Facebook and Twitter to see who has the coolest design. Anyone can start designing, but transporting the villager into “Fable III” is a reward given only to fans who pre-order the game at participating retailers. A redeemable code will be provided that allows players to bring their character creation to life in “Fable III” when the game launches.

Witness all the action, drama and humor as you’re propelled into a rich and engaging story, featuring a unique cast of characters around you.
