How to transfer gold and items into Fable 2

by Ross Miller { Oct 21st 2008 at 4:45PM }

If you've spent a few hours building up a mass of gold in Fable 2 Pub Games for Xbox Live Arcade or earned in-game swag through the game's website, our compadres at X3F have created a video tutorial guiding you through the steps of getting the gold and items into the game.

Although unconfirmed, we've heard various sources say that those who cheated at Pub Games start the game with full corruption, rendering you quite hideous in appearance. Stay tuned all week to X3F for more Fable 2 coverage, including a guided tour of Albion.

I don't care whether it was Molyneux's plan all along or just some nice recovery, the full corruption for cheating is pretty cool.

Burritoclock @ Oct 21st 2008 5:13PM

Agreed, even if they decided after the fact it's still cool.

Of course I didn't cheat and so now I have to decide weather the items I won are worth starting with -$thousands to get....

I wonder if you get corrupted no matter what, or just if you transfer your gold/items over. The first would be a bit harsh I think...

Snowblind @ Oct 21st 2008 5:17PM

I'm going to be rather annoyed if I get full corruption for accidentally using the cheat a couple of times. I have less than 5,000 so I think it's pretty clear I didn't use it on purpose

But it is a good punishment for those who did cheat, and not something that's totally irreversable either.

theturtle363 @ Oct 21st 2008 6:47PM

punishment? for cheating in a way that only affected their game? Are you serious? What the hell is so terribly and unethical about that?

Snowblind @ Oct 21st 2008 7:32PM

It doesn't exactly only affect their game. For one it ruins the specialness of the unique items, having a lot of money makes it far easier to win the special pub games items, and also allows you to buy everything in the game instantly.

I worked quite hard to get my high roller coat and championship cutless, and I might spend a long time in the game saving up enough money to buy dye for them or for other items, but what's the point when someone else I meet online has just cheated to do exactly the same thing?

The bottom line is that they cheated, and deserve to be punished for that.

theturtle363 @ Oct 21st 2008 8:11PM

that's a load of bullshit. Maybe it ruins the specialness of the items for them, but they probably dont care. If anything it should make them more special for you since you actually did it. Punishing someone for something that really does only affect them, and minorly at that, is severely Draconian

Cheaters always find a way to validate there cheating.

anyways the whole purpose of making a game is to create something in your vision that you want others to experience, so when you break or hack a game you are no longer playing the game the way the developer wanted you to play it and it lessen the experience. similar to how CliffyB didnt want gears of war to be a shotgun square dancing match, because that was not his intended goal.

theturtle363 @ Oct 21st 2008 10:03PM

well how is it breaking the creators intention of molyneux said the "cheat" was intended

BIGFAT @ Oct 21st 2008 10:30PM

you believe that?

He didnt even make the game so how will he know?
and why did it patched then?

nobodycare @ Oct 21st 2008 5:33PM

I just merge my character from Fable 2 in the Pub game. No need for visiting the game master. Anyway, I cheated but it didn't alter my character appearance. I only cheated up to like 600,000 gold or so.

john paul @ Oct 21st 2008 7:25PM

lol...only

Eric @ Oct 21st 2008 5:34PM

From what I'm hearing, the corruption is not from glitching, it is from gambling itself. You also get corruption points for gambling in Fable II, not just the Pub Games.

But if you have millions of gold like the big time glitchers have, you'll be super corrupt. I guess if you haven't won as much, the results won't be as noticable.

rivaldi22 @ Oct 21st 2008 5:46PM

What I'm wondering is if there's any way to get these items in-game?

Cause I don't really want to have to win all those goddamn tournaments (FUCK YOU SPINNERBOX.) if I start a second character in Fable II.

Snowblind @ Oct 21st 2008 6:15PM

The items from the pub games and website are completely unique, you can't get them ingame otherwise..

Hopefully you can simply transfer them multiple times though, I don't see why we wouldn't be able to send the items over to a second character on the same profile. I really wouldn't want to have to play through spinner-box again either.

Delgado @ Oct 21st 2008 6:36PM

I can confirm that you can, in fact, get all 5 items. I played the online story about a week ago and did all three endings, and today all 5 items were waiting for me in the chest.

MC Double Def DP @ Oct 21st 2008 6:44PM

I can confirm as well. In fact, I got to the chest, it told me to go www.fable2.com and I did all 3 endings, reloaded my game (just in case) and all 5 objects were there.

Allan @ Nov 7th 2008 9:26PM

im trying to find out how i get the items i won in the pub game u said u did all 3 endings im not sure what u mean if u can give me a detailed walkthrough on how i do this that would be awsome

thanks Allan

Booya056 @ Oct 21st 2008 8:07PM

ive got a glitch in my game at all time (even if i restart it) that says "buy new furniture from a furniture shop if you want to update this item". has anyone else had a simliar thing happen or anything?

ManeKast @ Oct 21st 2008 10:43PM

I have trhe same problem with the furniture store message. I CANT MAKE IT GO AWAY even after resetting cache, reloading, resetting, anything.

Anyone know where the furniture store is? Maybe that will heal this crap?

theturtle363 @ Oct 21st 2008 8:12PM

I just merged my pub games character and my main character, but I didnt get the items i unlocked, what's the deal?

MikeO. @ Oct 22nd 2008 12:33AM

You may have already figured this out, but when you merge your character from the Pub games (externally is how I did it), you get the gold instantly, but you have to visit the Game Master inside the game to receive your other items.

I found a roaming GM and played about 5 rounds of spinnerbox, exited the game and he threw all of the items at me at once.
