You may not have been too disappointed by
Fable 2's lack of animals (filthy, stinking animals), but
Lionhead's Lead Artist John McCormack was, and
he tells Beauty of Games that he's making up for it with the next game. "The lack of animals in the
Fable franchise is always something that has bothered me," he says, and so in
Fable 3, "we've built bats, crows, rabbits, ducks, robins, vultures, lizards, rats, butterflies, moths, insect swarms, dogs, fireflies, geese and we even started on a cow."
Rest assured that animals won't be the only new part of the experience, though -- McCormack also says his team is hard at work on incorporating the new Industrial aesthetic into the game's buildings,
morphed weapons and NPCs as well. He's not sure whether all of those animals will eventually make it into the finished product, but we hope so -- vultures
need to be Touched, too.
