Fable 2: Pub Games glitch was intentional?

September 17, 2008 in News comments 6

It has been revealed that the cheat/glitch to acquire more gold by some crafty button-mashing in Fable 2: Pub Games was actually placed there intentionally. However - gamers who have cheated the system can expect to have "a surprise waiting for them" when the load the actual game later in October after its release.

My guess is they will automatically start with a few points towards dark/evil - but if that's the sacrifice for a bit of extra gold, its worth it in my book.

Peter Molyneux has claimed that the Fable 2 Pub Games glitch, which allowed bets to be increased ten-fold by some timely button pressing, was absolutely intentional.

And those who cheated, Molyneux told IGN, will have a surprise waiting for them in Fable 2. The crafty old blighter.

The Fable 2 Pub Games are rubbish, but allow players to accrue gold that can be transferred into Fable 2 when the game launches on 24th October.

The glitch revolved around the Fortune's Tower card game where, by pressing the left bumper as bets were placed, gamblers could increase their stake by ten times the amount for free.

    Lol, If that's true, then that's a reallly REALLY good way of using the good/evil system.

    Its especially good because it genuinely reflects the player.

    I bet it will just not let you merge your character. And how do they know who cheated?

      Seeing as it was intentional, It was prob coded in somewhere.

    If I'm to be honest, I think Molyneux is full of shit.

    However, if this is true, then this is pretty ingenious.

    But it's not like punishing players, in some way, for cheating has never been done before.

      Well, why wouldn't they have just patched it? If it's a lie what good is that? We'll all find out soon enough anyway. Reminds me of this btw.
