Fable 2 Pub Games cheaters, exploiters and evil doers, we have a special announcement for you. You've been tricked! Yup, tricked and by Lionhead themselves.
How so? Well, according to IGN and their discussion with Peter Molyneux during a recent Fable 2 hands on event, Molyneux made it clear that the Pub Games exploit was intentionally added. GASP! Molyneux goes on to warn those who cheated that they'll be in for a surprise when launching Fable 2. What sort of surprise? We dunno, but we're thinking it may have to do with that whole "good vs. evil" thing. Maybe cheaters will be jailed, lashed with a leather whip and forced to eat cabbage for seven days and seven nights. Oh we can't WAIT to see what's in store for cheaters!

I bet you are destitute with your fingers broken because you tried to rip off Ace Rothstein's casino.

This is awesome and now I actually might buy the PUB games and cheat just to find out what happens. I wonder if it causes the Red Ring of Death? Now that would be punishment.

I hope they don't take away the gold or stuff because that wouldn't be any fun but having it add to your evil level and having the people in the pub turn on you would be cool.

Meh, I don't mind; Getting out of evil isn't too bad. I was pure evil the second time I played Fable, but I ended up just going to that special well and donating a ton of gold and after like an hour, I had a Halo.

I knew something was up with this. I plan is to take a road of evil the first time through Fable 2... This makes me think that cheating at pub games might be beneficial to my cause... As such, I'm going to start cheating at Pub Games immediately!

This kind of works out for me - I was planning on running 2 characters in Fable - one for solo, and one for co-op with the missus. Depending on whether she wants to be evil or good, I'll link my Pub Games dude with the relevant one.

Not a bad idea, having a separate hero for couch co-op. That way she's not complaining your playing without her or getting farther than her. Nice.

I call BULLSH*T on this one. Peter Molyneux is not one to miss an opportunity to brag about an 'innovation'. If this had been planned, he would have hinted about a 'few surprises' within the pub game when the pub game was first announced. Why? Because he knows it would have sold more game and created more press then the pub game itself.
Then when the glitch was discovered he would have come out with a comment like "The world of Fable 2 is a world full of moral choices, so use the pub game at your own peril", and not have simply said they were working on a patch.

I guess I'll only be linking my evil player to my cheating one. I have a 2nd gambler (over $80,000) that's "cheater free" that I'll link to my good character when I play the game a 2nd time.

I bet the game will give the money to you, but then have some guy come and steal it from you as punishment. Doesn't matter, I wanted to play the game the normal way so I never got the pub games.

Well I thought of a good plan, from what I've read in the article "3
hours with Fable 2" childhood dosent take that long, so if the
punishment is something I really dont like I will play the game
through childhood till I grow up, get my money, and give it to a
friend to hold, then replay the game though childhood without linking
to my gambler.

You know what? PM is just trying to save his ass. I have much anticipation for Fable II, but know this.. PM is lying to save his ass because what's REALLY happening is it is patched, which if it was intended it wouldn't have been patched.. So they are adding this because it WASN'T intended.

I think this is great. I cheated and gained about 2 million. I was planning on having a good character with no money. And a evil character that was rich as hell. This makes him look even more evil.
