Fable: The Lost Chapters Interview

GameSpot has conducted an interview with Lionhead Studios’ Dene Carter, in which the creative director answers two pages of questions about Fable: The Lost Chapters. An excerpt to follow:

Q: We know that one of the PC-only features is the ability to create your own tattoo design on your PC and import it into the game. What are the general requirements for the tattoo file, and are there thoughts to giving PC modders access to tinker even more with the game?

A: Creating new tattoos is pretty easy. All you need to be able to do is use a basic paint package. The tattoo files come with a nice template to show how you change the skin. It’s very flexible, indeed. Some folks have painted themselves blue, for some reason I can’t determine. I think “Smurf hero” is an abomination, a “thing that should not be,” but that’s a matter of personal choice. They can go Smurf themselves.

As for modding, it’ll be interesting to see what turns up over the coming months. Some of the things we’re seeing out there for Xbox alone are very impressive.
