Make your own Fable III Villager

Microsoft and Lionhead Studios today launched the Fable III Villager Maker, an all-new character creator tool designed to let players bring their own personalized villager to life. The in-game villager will give the player character a new quest to embark upon and 1,000 in gold, and will continue to interact with the player character throughout his or her journey to become the ruler of Albion.

The Villager Maker is available for everyone to access and experiment with at www.xbox.com/fable3. Fans can use the tool to create a male or female villager with more than 2,000 different variations, including an enthralling backstory for the character, unique personality traits, clothing, accent, hairstyles and the region they hail from. They will also be able to save their characters as a desktop wallpaper and share them with friends on Facebook and Twitter. However, while anyone can design a villager, only those who pre-order Fable III will be able to transport their villagers into the game through a redeemable code.

Fable III will be released on October 29th.
