Fable III May Feature A Wide Assortment of Wildlife
Written Tuesday, May 11, 2010 by Dan Webb
"The lack of animals in the Fable franchise is always something that has bothered me," Lionhead's Lead Artist, John McCormack, told Beauty of Games.
"The problem is trying to convince an entire animation/AI team to spend their resources away from things like combat, cutscenes, expressions, gestures, simulation etc and work on the new badger we’ve just built," he jokes. "As you can imagine, the priority drops somewhat for these things and often don’t make the final cut."
That all may change in Fable III though the Lead Artist told the site.
"In Fable III, so far 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... whether or not these will make it into the final game is anyone's guess at this point."
It was all going swimmingly until that last sentence. He's right though, Fable does need more wildlife and local fauna, if only because kicking chickens gets old quite quickly and we'd much rather kick a... cow? Yes, a cow.
Although, that being said, we're hoping that we get to see some cow-tipping action in Fable III. Oh boy, I've just opened up the biggest can of worms...
