Lionhead Studios launched a new browser application today that lets Fable fans create their own villagers in the style of the developer’s upcoming adventure threequel Fable III.
Those would-be designers who pre-order Fable III will receive a bonus: the ability to bring their creation into the game when it releases later this year. And not only will players be able to see the villager of their making in the virtual flesh, but the NPC will also give pre-orderers access to an exclusive quest and 1,000 gold pieces. The NPC will also give you something called “guild seals,” which Lionhead says will make sense once players get the game.
The Villager Maker includes over 2,000 variants ranging from biography, clothing, home region, personality traits, and more. Before you dive in yourself, check out this tutorial video that Lionhead put together to familiarize users with the creation tools:
Anyone created a villager yet? Care to share? The above image is the female Stephen Johnson I just made. Quite the looker, no?

Can't play w/ the Village Maker. It keeps telling me to download Silverlight, but I already downloaded it at least three times already.

It seems to me that this is Lionhead's attempt to hush the people (me included) who complained about the "Marriage-Quality" women of Fable 2... or lack thereof.
The trend continues even with this little ploy. Female Faces are limited to 3 choices - "Overtly Manly," "Jabba the Hutt," and "Psychotic Carnie." Hair/Hat styles lack any form of conservative options and none of which could stand alone on their own merit. Clothing styles are actually somewhat ok and varied... though most are still passable. Though it can stifle the creativity to only have preset outfits instead of the classic mix/match part style from the fable games (ie. Hats, hair, shirts, coats, pants, shoes, etc). and Voices are the exact same A.D.D. crybabies.
I think this was actually a good idea, but executed with the same amount of Fail that seems to have become Lionhead's Stigma.
For the record and Loved Fable, Fable TLC, Fable 2 + DLC, and already have Fable 3 Collectors Edition purchased. However, these games have never left me fully sated, and I can't help myself but keep saying, "It would have been so much better if..." I love the character and humor inherent in all Lionhead games, but sometimes I wish Molyneux would just say to his design team, "Ok guys, We've joked around enough. We can still have fun, but lets get a little more serious."
Still looking forward to Fable 3, but I'm starting to get feeling where it might not deliver that gleaming moment of life altering awesomeness that is Interactive Entertainment.

I was all excited and ready to head over there till i saw the word pre-order

No! You lost me after FABLE. Take the storyline back to the first game. Make a better FABLE 1 and you will win back all the fans you lost with FABLE 2. You won't be getting my money this time.

theantigzus
can i make prostitutes cuz all my 8 wives ended up being prostitutes since all the regular females were even more hideous. I never once caught and STD though??? i guess STD's werent as prominent back in the days, believe me i tried :)

The customization options are too limited, especially since I was hoping to make a wife that wasn't completely hideous like all the women were in Fable II. I hope they update it, but I will definitely be buying Fable III and importing some characters into it.

Better than the pub games, half my friends raised enough money to buy everything in the game from the begining.
sjohnson
I'm totally hot as a chick.

The code will be released with the game itself, It wont do you any good until the game is released anyways.
Count_Giraffe
Me and my brother pre-ordered Fable limited edition from gamestop but didn't receive a code! Will they give me one if we point out their mistake?
Servcrow
While I am excited about Fable III my wife is exponentially MORE excited and I fear if I show her this I'll never get the 360 back! Curse you Lionhead!!
