GB Feature: Fable: The Lost Chapters Preview

We recently had the opportunity to check out a press build of Lionhead Studios’ Fable: The Lost Chapters and have kicked up a two-page preview after getting some hands-on time with the expanded RPG. Here’s a bit to start you off:

There is also a new (chicken kicking) mini-game that you can play in Oakvale. It works a little like shuffleboard, and if you get a high enough score, you can win a silly chicken hat. There is also a new quest at the school in Bowerstone, where you can turn in the books that you find, and where the teacher there will then give a lesson about the books to his students. This usually generates some funny sequences, since several of the books aren’t really intended for toddlers. But if nothing else, it means that there is now a reason to examine every bookcase in every house in every town. If you turn in enough books, you’ll win a hat as a reward. (Do you sense the trend yet? I think I found a dozen new objects in The Lost Chapters, and half of them were hats.)
