Trivia
In the Lychfield graveyard, there is a tombstone that reads:
"Yaggath Sonnog-Sleeper in the Dark, wake and rise."
This is a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's Great Old Ones of the Cthulhu mythos. Yog-Sothoth, is the most powerful and most mysterious of the elder gods.
This is little surprise as Lionhead is based in the UK. Where Lovecraft has a huge following.
A verbatim translation of the Chinese title is:
shen = god
gui = devil
yuyan = fable
shiluo de = lost
zhang = chapter
jie = segment
It's interesting to note that the title broaches the game's main issue, it being a "Fable of a God or a Demon" according to players' decisions.
Think you can do a better job than the finest skin artists in Albion? Want to
customise your Hero down to his very flesh? Here's how to do it.
In the Tattoos folder (found in 'My Documents\My Games\Fable') you'll see a folder
named after your user profile. Inside you'll find a bitmap (.bmp file) for each of
the tattoo types you can customise:
arms.bmp
back.bmp
chest.bmp
face.bmp
legs.bmp
Open the tattoo type you want to customise in an image editing program such as
Microsoft Paint. Once you have edited the image, save the result.
Next time you pay a visit to a Tattooist in the game, your customised tattoo will
be available for application in the same way as those found on Tattoo Cards.
