Lionhead explains how to get Pub Games gold into Fable 2

This is kinda lame, seems like a way to make a quick buck on xbl, though its nice u get the option of getting the games by pre-ordering.

This is very cool and all, but I'm not sure I want to start an RPG with a ton of gold. I mean where would the challenge be if I didn't have to worry about buying anything? A lot of the fun I get our of RPG's is from seeing a new powerful sword and earning it through battling countless monsters and taking on perilous quest.

I agree that this could potentially take some of the fun out the game, but that's also a rather silly thing to worry about. Since I got the games for "free" after pre-ordering Fable I see them as a fun way to use my free time.

I say it's silly because no one will force me to merge my gambler and my Fable 2 characters. The game doesn't self-destruct after a single playthrough, so I can always play through it both ways. I played the original Fable (plus Lost Chapters), including most of the side quests and such, at least 4 times I'm sure I'll sink enough time into Fable 2 to get the full experience the game has to offer with and without the pub games gold.

Out of curiosity, are these original Fable-quish games or exactly what the minigames on Fable will be like?

A fun idea but a complete rip off if you aren't getting the game for free 'cause you wanted to preorder Fable anyway. Someone let me know if the games are actually fun.

Hurry and preorder on Amazon.com(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FRVAD4), they do not charge for preordering so you could always cancel after getting your code. Don't know how much longer they will offer it. Get it free while you can!
