Visit new Fable 2 site, win fabulous in-game prizes

As long as the site streams properly, The Hero's Tale is actually quite an enjoyable way of getting a little bit of that Fable 2 magic in before next week's release. We're now conflicted if Zoë Wanamaker or God of War's Linda Hunt is our favorite fantasy game narrator.

Try watching British TV, you'll see enough of Zoe to want to scratch out your spinal cord every time you hear her voice.

Awww...Chicken Chaser. Look at the chickens run!

Daddy, where do eggs come from?
ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ Oct 15th 2008 2:05AM
They come from the store, son.

Just aim for the horses in the back, and you get an easy 150 gold with each kick. So, yeah, just aim for the horses.

Even though this is a small example of it, hopefully this is the future of gaming and I want more.
Being able to play these games during "off time" at work and directly influencing my at-home game? Awesome.

Chicken game sucks, even with full power sometimes your guy doesn't kick the chicken more than a foot.
Alan Johnson @ Oct 14th 2008 12:40PM
I got a lionhead tatoo and a hero doll woot!! oh how I miss the grand days of being called a Chicken Chaser and to think now I can do it with a buddy by my side
LiqwidZero @ Oct 14th 2008 12:42PM
I got that, too.
Jakka @ Oct 14th 2008 12:43PM
Chicken Chaser? Pfft, amateurs.
Arseface for the lulz!
Dadidito @ Oct 14th 2008 2:05PM
Same here. Plus the 1000 gold too. This seriously needs to be done in other games. Way to go.
LiqwidZero @ Oct 14th 2008 12:46PM
Apparently, you can play through and win all of the prizes. I've won two already in the story.
SAGExSDX @ Oct 14th 2008 12:58PM
oh you can go through the story multiple times and unlock multiple items? sweet!
Isak? @ Oct 14th 2008 12:53PM
All evil the whole way got me a book of nasty phrases and pink dye. Apocalyptic pink dye....
J.Goodwin @ Oct 14th 2008 12:58PM
If you place your cursor just below and to the right of the bee hive, then wait for the meter to get 80 - 95% full (100% is a miss) then you'll drop the chicken on the spears for 180 points each. Note that you need to wiggle the cursor a bit after each kick to get the app to read it's position and re-align the chicken.
This is great marketing.

I loved it!
What a great site, good story and great prizes!
I can't wait for Fable 2.
theturtle363 @ Oct 14th 2008 1:07PM
man, it's times like this it sucks that my msn membership got fucked up so i can never sign into my gamertag on the regular internet to get this stuff. Balls
Mrblonde @ Oct 14th 2008 4:33PM
What exactly happened?
David @ Oct 14th 2008 1:26PM
Got the chicken suit, a journal and pink dye, and a Lionhead tattoo and hero doll. What are the other two prizes?
DarkRaven @ Oct 14th 2008 1:33PM
Those are the only ones I could find, too. I wonder if those ARE the 5. And going down the good or evil path just nets you 2 prizes at once?
I've tried several combinations through the story, and I can't find anything else.
TroyMG @ Oct 14th 2008 1:39PM
None of the choices you make during the story make any consequence to what reward you get except the choice of which crown at the end:
Left Crown: Hero Doll & Lionhead Tattoo
Middle Crown: 3 Piece Chicken Suit
Right Crown: Nasty Expression Book & Pink Dye
Those are the five rewards the first screen mentions. Also, winning the chicken kicking game (accessed from the barrel to the left of the stage) gives you:
"Lord of Yard Birds" Title & 1000 Gold

"Finish the show and 1 of 5 exclusive fable 2 prizes await you."
SAGExSDX @ Oct 14th 2008 1:42PM
anyone think maybe the prize tied to your account is ONLY the last prize won? i get the sinking feeling that we won't get all of them when the game comes out. hope i'm wrong though
SAGExSDX @ Oct 14th 2008 1:45PM
oh nevermind. it seems if you try to re-unlock something you already unlocked, it gives an error saying you already unlocked it. i guess we get to keep all the prizes!
Sebastian @ Oct 14th 2008 2:40PM
Well i unlocked the chicken suit and the lionhead tatoo/doll.
But then when i got confused about how i would get it into the game i realised that u have to be signed in prob at the site (www.xbox.com i used). So then i signed in, unlocked the pink dye/evil book, but then when i tried to unlock back the chicken suit and tatoo/doll i got an error message, so i tried to go to an other computer (thought it was bound to the ip addres) but it didnt work on the other one anyways.
So i hope that the items still got sent to my account even tho i was not logged in :D
Otherwise im screwed, anyone know any problemfixer thing for this?
Help me!
J.Goodwin @ Oct 14th 2008 2:43PM
I suspect that the Nasty Expression Book, Pink Dye, Tattoo, Doll, and Suit are the only prizes as well, but the only way to know for sure is to exhaustively test :D
Anyone feel like helping me fill this in some?
Cover for the thief or turn him in:
Evil / Good
Be strengthened in virtue or turn to vengeance:
Good / Evil
Murder the husband, Find the pig for a reward, or selflessly assist the poor woman:
Really Evil / Good Wealth / Good Poverty
Spare the duke's life or kill him:
Good / Evil
Rule the kingdom wisely, Continue life as a wandering hero, or become a tyrant (note that this is the right order of choices, but I think the first two crowns are probably
reversed):
Good Wealth / Good Poverty / Evil

For the love of Molyneux, please read TroyMG's post.

Man, that balverine freakin sucks.
ScottG13 @ Oct 14th 2008 3:49PM
These prizes don't seem that great, but this is brilliant. Say one thing for PM, the guy can market.
Rhamsey @ Oct 14th 2008 5:13PM
wow, this is awesome, just wish the chicken game didnt keep messing up. but still, awesome
Cr4sh Dummy @ Oct 14th 2008 5:35PM
Chicken suit FTW!
Alex B @ Oct 14th 2008 6:49PM
This is a great idea, I'm looking forward to my items once I get the game!
Gabriel @ Oct 14th 2008 7:57PM
Isn't this Lady Cassandra from Doctor Who?
Drago Dracini @ Oct 14th 2008 8:25PM
OMFG! I can't get my money and title attached to my account! it won't click! >.< Is it cause I'm using firefox?
John Perkins @ Oct 15th 2008 12:47AM
Firefox wouldn't even let me open the games, so maybe that's it.
TrojanGuy @ Oct 14th 2008 8:43PM
Very cool idea.
mike @ Oct 15th 2008 8:34PM
Yea I had that same problem, just open up the site using the IE tab with Firefox should work. I liked the choices but yea kinda disappointing that it just comes down to the end for which prize you get. Still good flash game and I can't wait for the full game.
kingsfan16 eric @ Oct 20th 2008 2:36PM
There are 5 prizes total you guys.
They are Hero Doll, Lionhead Tattoo, 3 Piece Chicken Suit, Nasty Expression Book, and Pink Dye
