- Slow Time Potion
- Scot Male Hero Outfit or the Scot Female Hero Outfit
- Highlander Tattoo Set
- Red Setter Dog Skin
Fable 3 is scheduled for release October 29. Bagpipes not included.

@1 Apparently “gratis” is a word in English as well. Like smorgasbord.
@3 Because that means that people who buy the game second hand (or illegally download it) won’t get the stuff.

Can’t argue with some freebies. Good stuff.

I wonder if it’ll be a timed code, like the *free* extras that came with the release of Dragon Age?

@1
The word is derivated from a latin word and it’s used in various languages. One of them being English.
And back on topic, I really hate the DLC-ization of games theses days, al least this one’s free.

DLC are on a complete different time table stuff that would otherwise be cut from the game, can now be given to the DLC and be downloaded later. Usually games get a cut off point on content added to the actual game typically 5-6 months prior to release because then it goes into debugging phase.

Hmm…. I dunno about ‘free’ stuff. Isn’t this just the same as EA’s ‘rip a few things out, put them on a code, confound the second-hand buyers’ strategy?
