Fable II Avatar Clothes are coming!

Published Tuesday, August 04, 2009 1:08 PM by Sam

A lot of people have been asking us in recent months about Fable II clothes for their Xbox360 avatar. Well, you'll be happy to learn that we've got something coming your way! It's not going to be a single shirt but a whole package of clothing! It will be available for a few Microsoft points from Marketplace at some stage this month... We've got one teaser image showing you a shirt, but there are boots, shirts and hats! No underwear though...

More details can be found in this topic on our forums.

Excellent...while I am slightly at a loss over the need for Microsoft Points to get these, I dont mind if the clothing looks quality.

Will go well with my purchase of Monkey Island...some left over points will go this way I think.

RadicalDylan said:

Wait... You guys can't seriously be counting the stuff already on the marketplace as "clothes coming our way"...

This shirt is already available to everyone who is in the preview...
There is also:
A cup of tea shirt, highwayman pants, spire soldier shirt, and lionhead Tee... just to name a few others...

Ya, I agree, I've seen this stuff all in the Preview update...pretty pricey too I might add...

Now if you mean we might be soon getting the ability to earn them free from in-game achievements/awards, then you've got my attention.

Remember not everyone can get into the preview aeh! This post is for those of us who aren't into it (like me!).

Top tip: I bought the entire Highwayman's outfit for around 560MS points (give or take). This includes the hat, the coat and the gloves. These three items are all you need to complete you outfit.
They are also selling the highwayman shoes and trousers for 140MS points each. DO NOT buy these two if you are only interested in having a entire Highwayman outfit. When your avatar equips the coat, the shoes are included and you can see the highwayman trousers underneath his coat.
Theres no need to waste MS points on items that come as part of another item.
Just letting you know
btw the Highwayman outfit is awesome overall, buy it. Big Smile [:D]

RadicalDylan said:

huh... I just went back and they added more clothes then those already on there...
and that new highwayman coat looks sick!...

Sam has a point, not everyone has the preview and is informed of what clothing is on offer.

I think for people to enjoy these they have to be a fan of the series, if you have some Odd MSP then its a perfect addition however these are not worth the same amount of points as a DLC which someone has indicated can rack up. People should bare that in mind if they do buy select clothing.

A great addition would be rewards as EarthBound mentioned otherwise this will go stale very quickly.

I can't wait to see the full line of available avatar clothes when released to the general public. I started filling out the stuff to get into the preview but I was doing it at work and it was asking for the 360 serial number and such, of course I did not have that info with me. Oh well.
Oh and the Hobbe shirt.....I want one I can wear, not just my avatar.

AlphaCM said:

Very cool! Im excited, but...

(dont read this as me yelling or anything, i love Lionhead and Microsoft)
Isn't anyone else a little upset that they cost so much? I mean, c'mon, 560 points for a outfit? I could buy a arcade game for that and still have some leftover! Or you could buy a Fable 2 DLC...i know some people will say "Then don't buy them." But I would like to, but at that price, i dont know. I hoping they would give us achievment-hogs some love, but i guess microsoft wants us to pay...oh well. I'll probably be buying one or outfits, but thats it. Anyone else disappointed? I was planning on buying a bunch, but whatever. Smily [:)]

P.S. Its not like i cant afford to buy them, its just that I don't like to buy overpriced stuff because all im doing is enforcing the high prices.

I had 80ms points left and bought the Lionhead Tee.  Looks G o o d [Good], you can see my avatar pic here... [url]http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/PiMD/avatar-body.png[/url]

pimoreland said:

Sam, what about award clothing from Fable 2, maybe the Knothole Armor or something along those lines?  Master chief Armor for those with the LE?

kit_103 said:

@AlphaCM: The outfit itself doesn't cost 560 MSP, only 240MSP. Antinash bought the hat and gloves, which comes to about...200MSP. So he only spent 440 MSP on the entire highwayman get up.

@Antinash: So, let's say I do buy the coat. Can I equip the boots or pants separately? Or do I have to be wearing the coat to have those equipped? That's always something I've been curious about but I'd rather not waste 240 MSP on something that looks mediocre if I can't use the items separately.

Anyways...some of the clothes are really not worth the price-tag they carry. I mean, I did buy the Explorer shirt and left myself with 20MSP(stupid, I know XD) but I think everybody ends up with an odd number of points somewhere during their time on LIVE.  So...they're only worth it if you have an odd number of points or just like the clothes you're looking at.

@Fata1moose: Old news is old by what..three-four weeks?

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how mutch micro points?
August 4, 2009 4:18 PM
 

Fata1moose said:

@Kit_103 I got the coat and it has the pants and boots with it so you don't need to buy those just the coat.
August 4, 2009 5:53 PM
 

Antinash said:

@Kit_103 Like moose said, the coat comes with the pants and boots, so when you equip the coat, all three equip at once. Now you can pay another 100-ish points each for the pants and boots on their own, so you can wear them with other things, but why bother. I like to think of the coat as a ''bundle deal''........thats how I justified my purchase Big Smile [:D]

wozzey said:

ok sreiosly not to bag on lionhead or anything but why on earth does it cost ms points (and alot at that matter) to buy avatar clothes?????
August 5, 2009 7:28 AM
 

Chieffie said:

You've got to be kidding... THIS is the 'Big revelation'???? This was already known, and as moose pointed out, old news is still just old news. And I did'nt see anything in a preview, someone posted a link to the clothes somewhere, i forgot where it was.

And JeeHeeHeezus FF'in Christ, 560 MSPoints for some clothes? CLOTHES? It'll be a cold, cold, cold, cooooooold day in Hell when I buy into THAT. And they'll have to be delivered by flying pigs.

The moneygrabbing mentality never ceases to amaze me... I'm surprised we're not paying to respond to this blog, or to use the forums.

Where did you get the idea from Chieffie that this is a "big revelation"???? Relax!

August 5, 2009 10:14 AM
 

alexisrose said:

So Sam....can I take it by your comment that this is just news? NOT the "revelation" we are waiting for? Then I will continue to check the blogs daily.
August 5, 2009 12:12 PM
 

Fata1moose said:

Sam he thought this was the Big revelation that you spoke of on the last blog, which it is obviously not. Hopefully that will come soon though right? Smily [:)]
August 5, 2009 1:39 PM
 

Sam said:

AHA! I see! Wasn't it Woody who posted that? I don't know what he's talking about, I think he was on crack?
August 5, 2009 2:46 PM
 

alexisrose said:

Yeah yeah...crack you say. I'm sure you know just as much as Woody does Smily [:)] I'll wait, there will be more said. This can't be it. Clothes aren't a revelation.

Chieffie....I shall buy you a pint.
August 5, 2009 5:43 PM
 

RadicalDylan said:

now all we need is a shirt that says "this is the revelation" and everyone will be happy... especially if you make that shirt free...

hahahahaha!!

I think its kind of pathetic that people would spend hard-earned money on clothing for an online avatar.
But no offense to the people that do of course.

I really hope that this isn't the "very soon" news that was coming.

Miekkas said:

I have to admit that I am alittle dismayed that folks are being charged for such a small feature Sad [:(]. Although the argument could be made that Lionhead should be paid for their efforts in items such as these, it's still a bit of a stretch that folks should have to spend point aka money for what only a few people probably were in charge of designing over the course of a week. That's almost like saying people should start paying for the video dairies Tongue Tied [:S]

Just wondering but can you like earn some of the cloths for like unlocking all achievements or something?

Chieffie said:

@Iatentdead: thanks, I willingly accept! It's 30 ºC outside Tongue Tied [:S]

@Sam, sorry to rant, I was indeed talking about the 'Big revelation' Woody announced.

PS: I found your grave in TLC Stick out tongue [:P]

Maybe the Hobb t-shirt in pink?
August 6, 2009 6:55 PM
 

Fata1moose said:

@Sam Oh yes it was Woody, however I don't think he was on crack....Well atleast it was not a contributing factor of him posting that Stick out tongue [:P] Anyway I'm sure you know what he is talking about. Wink [;)]
