My friends and I where thinking' about this yesterday. Problem is, Garth does not have a weapon. I mean, they could give out a new Spell Gauntlet, but that would be kinda unfair right?

This is, of course, assuming that Lionhead cares about canon-ness because, well, they gave us Reaver's Sword and not his DragonStomper...

Re: GAME Pre-Order Bonus:

Well Tyrant, Reaver is still alive in Fable 3 so don't you think he would still have his DragonStomper .48? Also that sword is badass but last time I saw I thought Reaver had a cutlass?

Kinda unfair? How so? I think it WOULD be fair if they stopped screwing us magic users over.

That isn't Reaver's sword, it just says it's linked to him. Reaver used a cutlass (like a typical pirate) in Fable II and it looked nothing like that.

Giving an exclusive spell? that isn't unfair to people who can't preorder?

It's probably a sword he used in latter years, just like Hammer.

Which brings up the question, wasn't Hammer planning to stop fighting?

So giving an exclusive sword, tattoo, hammer, etc. isn't unfair but giving an exclusive spell would be?

She did (supposedly). That's probably why we're being given her hammer.

No, as the Spells give you a unique ability, whereas the others are mere weapons...

No. I use spells to kill enemies just like you might use a sword or a rifle to kill enemies.

You're not seeing it as a whole, One grants a completely new way of fighting, while the other is just a completely replaceable weapon that looks nice.


Let's put it like this:


Physical Shield Gauntlet

During his travels in the Samarkand, Garth uncovered a long forgotten Will power that enabled the user to cloak itself with a magic barrier. He implemented it into this gauntlet to help protect himself against the dangers of said continent.

Against a pitiful Hammer that does extra damage to wicked enemies!

Re: GAME Pre-Order Bonus:

Agreeing with Tyrant on this one. Imagine if they made Time Control exclusive. Many people would miss out on an entire playing style, but if they make a Hammer exclusive, they're mainly missing out on an aesthetic difference.

Re: GAME Pre-Order Bonus:

iagree o both sides of the argument here. i really think its unfair that will users dont get an exclusive item, on the other hand i see where tyrant is oming from. maybe they could have given garths clothes that when worn increases the damage of your will or something.

The Dragonbreath Tattoo Set

You will be able to customise your in-game character with a variety of Dragonbreath tattoos!

The Absolver

After Lucien was defeated, Hammer took this weapon and wreaked vengeance on evil in the name of her Father. Get it in-game when you preorder!




Gamestop - All over
Fable3_industrial_tattoo_swordLG.jpg

Purchase Fable III regular or limited edition and receive a GameStop exclusive in-game sword and tattoo.

* Exclusive Tattoo - The Tattoo morphs as you morph; so the color will change depending on your alignment. For magic users, the tattoo will also become a will line when you use magic will lines. Finally, it will also increase your attractiveness toward NPCs, and it can be used to complete a specific quest in Aurora .


* Exclusive Sword – With a history linked to Fable 2 through Reaver, it is evil and gets bonuses for killing innocents, spending money and annoying people, just like the Reaver.


Available for online and in-store customers only while supplies last.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I don't know if there are any other bonus items to be had

I like the tattoo,but the sword would have to be used by my evil character.

Phsyical Shield would be pointless and extremely overpowered. That's not what I'm asking for at all. Not that it matters because these are simple pre-order bonuses. You can easily put down $5 for a pre-order and then pay the rest the day the game comes out.

A hammer is a weapon. A gun is a weapon. A spell is a weapon. Are you saying it's perfectly fine for me to miss out on a weapon that MORPHS but it's not okay for me to miss out on a single spell that may or may not add much of anything to the game? Do you know how many spells I used in Fable II? Two. I started using three recently since I found out a neat little trick to use with the Raise Dead spell.

Therefore, most of these spells go to waste anyways.

Re: GAME Pre-Order Bonus:

Is the villager creator bonus a gamestop exclusive? Because I was thinking of preordering from a different store mainly because they just have cheaper prices than gamestop or best buy or Toys R us. And there is no Walmart in NYC so idk about that.

The Villager Maker isn't store specific so you can pre-order the game anywhere and get it.
