Fable 2 Collector’s Edition detailed – Let’s go to the Pub E-mail

Microsoft have revealed the goodies contained in the upcoming Fable 2 Collectors Edition – now with added Pub content.

Fable from Peter Molyneux’s Lionhead Studios was a treat to play through, so anticipation of the sequel is high.

Fans of the franchise – with an Xbox 360 - will be able to pick up two versions of the game when it hits Australian shores on October 23.  The bog standard retail version (AU$99.95 RRP), whist the more rabid amongst them can go for the Limited Collector’s Edition at AU$119.95.

The Collector’s Edition will include the game along with:

* Bonus DVD – Includes new ‘Making-of Feature’ with Peter Molyneux and the team at Lionhead Studios and concept art viewer
* Bonus In-Game Content (Requires LIVE account) – Includes “The Hall of the Dead” Dungeon, “The Wreckager” Legendary Cutlass Weapon and Otherworldly Bonus
* Collectible Hobbe figure with accessories – From the Qee Collection comes this one-of-a-kind Hobbe figure. Nasty, brutish, and short, he roams the countryside, preying on travelers and spiriting away the children of the unwary.
* 48-hour Xbox LIVE Gold Trial Card – With Xbox LIVE Gold, players can show off their individual hero by inviting friends into their unique version of Albion or they can visit their friends’ Albion, and earn additional gold, experience and renown to take back into their own.
* Five printed Fate Cards – These five beautiful cards foretell the Hero’s great destiny to journey across all of Albion, encountering deadly enemies and enigmatic allies. The path leads to a choice that will change the world forever.

Fans of pre-order fun can also take part in Pub games on Xbox LIVE leading up to the Fable II launch.  The games can be downloaded for folks that have pre-ordered the game, or 800 Microsoft points for other peasants from the Xbox 360 online service now.

Any gold won whilst playing the games can be later used in Fable II itself.  Stock up now so that later you can by that weapon, set of cloths, house, dog tricks and more.

The high-stakes casino-style Pub Games (available as one download) are:

Keystone: A combination of Craps and Roulette
Spinnerbox: An updated take on slot machines
Fortune's Tower: A "press your luck" style of game

The download also includes a Shell, which is a tutorial of all three games.

What no Darts, or any drinking games? Disappointed.
