This shows all of the features the staff at Lionhead Studios added in fable TLC.
- Nine new hats/helmets — Two to match the game's good and evil platemail, two to match the good and evil will user's suits, one helmet for the new "Archon's" suit of armor, a "pimp hat", a fisherman's hat, a red head wig, and a chicken hat.
- Five new silver keys, and a few more silver key chests, including one that requires 30 keys to open.
- Two new suits of armor — the "Fire Assassin" suit, which is very similar to the normal assassin suit but with a red cloth and designs (found in Snowspire Village in various cupboards), and the armor of Archon, which is a shinier version of the standard platemail in the game and much stronger (found in a 25-key chest in Necropolis).
- A new torso armor — The hooded guild apprentice shirt (there is no dark version of this hooded shirt).
- Two new offensive spells — "Divine Fury" and "Infernal Wrath"; area of effect spells which deal large amounts of damage to opponents in the player's radius.(some spells look slightly different, such as Assassin's Rush now bearing a blue after-effect instead of a white one).
- Briar Rose; a hero who was almost entirely scrapped from the original release, is now included in several main quests and sidequests.
- Scythe; another hero who was cut from the original game, is now a primary character in the new end game, and appears early in the game based on the player's actions.
- Jack of Blades; the main antagonist, has a deeper, more demonic-sounding voice as opposed to his original roguish tone, and he has a more explored background.
- Jack of Blades transforms into a dragon, the new final boss.
- Several new demon doors.
- The Northern Wastes, which were cut from the original release, are back. There are about six new locations there, which contain a new town, a demon door, some silver key chests, and an extension of the story.
- The Darkwood Bordello, an area cut from the Darkwood portion of the game. Finding it allows access to a couple of sidequests, a new demon door, and of course, a house full of prostitutes. The player has the option of working as a prostitute by equipping any dress, the red head wig, and a clean shave.
- Several new weapons, including a sword called Avo's Tear, which acts as an opposite to the devastating Sword of Aeons. Avo's Tear can only be acquired by a good character after destroying the Sword of Aeons in what was the original end of the game. This time, after the sequence the game continues, and if you undertake a sidequest, you can obtain this new sword. There is only one sword stronger than either of these called the Bereaver. It takes a great sacrifice to gain it however; as you must give the demon door all of your silver keys in order to obtain it.
- The player may now solve the mystery surrounding the death of Lady Grey's sister.
- The player can now become the Mayor of Bowerstone. Besides access to the mansion, there are no benefits of becoming mayor.
- Oakvale is a town in the Fable: The Lost Chapters. It is the original hometown of the Hero. When the game begins, you are a youngster in this town and need to perform good deeds. Soon after, it is attacked by bandits and you are taken to the Heroes Guild. You have to return to the town later on in the game. The town has simple laws. As a child, the guards will have words with you if you perform an unprovoked attack. As an adult, you must not attack/kill villagers or unsheath any of your weapons. The area links to Barrow Fields, the Memorial Garden and there is also the entrance to the path that eventually leads to Twinblade's camp.
- Several new sidequests and minigames. Minigames include the new chicken kicking competition in Oakvale, and the fishing competition at Fisherman's Creek. One of the sidequests involves donating books to the Bowerstone school library, as well as curing a local boy of a "terrible illness" which is in fact an intoxicant-inspired hallucinogenic journey.
- New monsters — Ice Trolls, Summoners, and Wraiths
- New actions — The player may now do several new dances, many of which are quite humorous, like the cossack dance and air guitar.
- The Sword of Aeons has had a downgrade to make the new game elements harder yet still remains one of the strongest weapons in the game. (Because of its speed as a light weapon, it can hit twice as fast as a heavy weapon, and its the strongest light weapon in the game along with Avo's Tear.) The sword has a damage rate of 230, whereas in the original Fable it had 550.
- The Battle Charge spell no longer affects non-hostile and non-targeted characters.
- Demon Doors on the mini-map are purple instead of red to eliminate confusion between enemies.
- Flourish-charged weapons now glow purple instead of fiery to eliminate confusion of fire-augmented weapons.
- Jack of Blades' mask is no longer a trophy, but a quest item. Depending on the second ending that the player chooses, the mask can either be worn or destroyed. (Once worn, it can never be removed)
- After Jack of Blades is defeated the first time, the Hero Guild is rebuilt and completely accessible.
- Ripples in water are now more continuous instead of "pulses" and have a slightly different look.
- Timers turn red when there are only ten seconds left.
- You can find Whisper at the Oakvale Tavern after the Arena if you choose not to kill her.
