Lionhead starts contest for player-made achievement in Fable Anniversary

Lionhead Studios has announced a new contest for its upcoming re-release of the classic Xbox and PC game Fable. The company has announced on its website that gamers can submit their own ideas for an achievement that will be featured in the game when it launches.

After July 14, which is the deadline for submitting ideas for achievements, the game’s developers will shortlist five achievements and the winner will be chosen through a public vote. The winner of the contest will get their achievement featured in the game, a mention in the credits and a free copy of Fable Anniversary. All five will get a Fable Anniversary T-shirt and a bunch of E3 badges.

Fable is getting yet another re-release

Fable Anniversary is a tenth-anniversary re-release of the original Fable, which was launched back in 2004. The re-release will include the main game itself, as well as the extras from the Lost Chapters of the PC version of the game, which extended the storyline and added new content. The re-release will add new textures, models, animations, leaderboards and the option to use Fable 2’s control scheme.

Fable revolves around a stereotypical fairy tale of a boy who lost everything to bandit attacks and was forced to take up the mantle of the hero. Interestingly, the game features an in-depth morality system which not only alters dialogue options, but also changes how the character looks depending on whether he is good or bad. The morality option is also integrated into the magic system, where using certain spells makes him more evil or good.
