Fable 2/Fable 2 Pub games

[Kyo]

Well i looked for a thread to necro the fuck out of and couldnt find one, so I made a new one to to share one sthoughts about the Pub Games and the releases of Fable2.

Personaly Im loving these pub games, keystone is pretty easy once you get the hang of it and fun but its rewrads are minimal compaired to the other 2 games.

Fourtune's tower is alot of fun I think and an easy way to increase your score.

Spinnerbox is like slots, so far ive made over 5,000 gold off it and it is extrmly luck based obv.

[Kyo]

fuck yeah just won my first jackpot on fortunes tower lol
Hot shit 2 in a row, damn its addictive.

[Dook]

Fortune's tower betting 600 a pop is absolutely bank, But Spinnerbox? That game's a fucking crock.

[Kyo]

Yeah now I cant stand the game its fucking annoying, lost almost 3000...

Got all the items, and 100k gold, no debt. Just working on unlocking the rest of the games, and getting a jackpot on keystone. There's an exploit in Fortune's Tower which will rake in MOUNTAINS OF MONEY and win you the tournaments easy, although I got all of my money from the 25-250 board in Spinnerbox.

Fortune's Tower and Spinnerbox don't really require any strategy, but here's my post lifted from GameFAQs to help with Keystone:

There's no 100% strategy, but for tournaments, basically on the arches, put max bet on 3 and 18, and then on the inside, place maximum bet on the ENTIRE bottom row. Do it every time (hit RB to place chips on the same spots), until you get a triple, then don't bet on anything for the rest of the tournament.

As for the Fortune's Tower glitch, here it is: Place the minimum bet, but as soon as you hit A, hit the Left Bunker (I always hit it a couple of times), and your bet should jump to the maximum. Basically, what this does, is takes away your minimum bet, but you get the payout for the maximum bet. You have to move your bet back down to minimum after each 'game', but this is a guaranteed way to make lots of money, especially once you unlock/switch to the larger boards. I didn't find this, Quazii on GameFAQs did.

Sweet thanks thats awesome. The spinnerbox tourney's are so random :l

[Alina]

Yeah, took me the longest to win the first one. I won the final tournament my first try <_<

[Kyo]

The highest ive ranked in any is 5 star 3rd.

[Alina]

Well I've got all of the achievements now, and about ~350k gold. I think I'm going to get 500k, then call it quits.

Sadly, I never played Fable 1... Did that one allow multiple saves for one character, because I don't want to earn all the items/money again. Having a save right after obtaining the gold/items from the pub games would be great.

[Kyo]

What u can do, with the pub games is you can earn all that money and stuff with each character if you want, and when the game comes out u can merge it with ur fable 2 hero. So basicaly if you want 2 characters, you need to do it twice.
Is that a good enough description?

[Alina]

Yeah, I understand that part of it. My hope is that early in the game, you can find the pub guy, get your gold/items, and make a second save file, that way if you want to replay your hero, you can without having to do all of the pub game crap again to get all of the items.

[Kyo]

Yeah, we'll see. Im going to do it twice just incase you cant.

[Kyo]

Hmm, do you think your odds of winning on spinnerbox is effected if you speed up the dials?
I dont really wanna use that glitch much if you start the game with all that money, totaly gunna ruin the expierence of the game if you can just buy everything up as soon as u start, that will be a waste ;x

[Alina]

I think Spinnerbox is completely random, regardless of if you press A or not. I've gotten really lucky at the beginning, and sometimes it takes a while to win.

As far as ruining the game, supposedly houses alone cost 1million gold, and quests do not give any gold at all. Pub games and in-game jobs are the main ways of making money, from what I've read.

[Kyo]

Yeah they only way of makin money is jobs and games, but im not really sure how much shit costs, I just dont wanna break the game for me so to speak.

someone on gameFAQs was saying something to the effect that you could influence spinnerbox results by hitting A with the right timing, but IMO it's a load of poop. Statistically cow & corset has the best odds with the bonus round thingies, i used purely spinnerbox to max out my rank (and racked up a 30k debt, but ive heard people of making money doing so) and never touched the 50-500 enzo the tailor.

As for keystone, I tried the 3/18/bottom row strategy and didn't win anything, but there are a few other strategies floating around out there. The one I used:
2 on Arch 3, then
8 on 4-9
8 on 4-9
2 on 333
3 on Inside 3
It took me 1-3 tries for each tourney but I was able to win all the tourneys with that strategy. Gamefaqs had one or two more strats as well.

As for fortune's tower, I lost a lot of money in the non-tourney version because I assumed that it being skill-based would allow me to control the outcome better. Unfortunately the game is a cheap bitch and it drove me further into debt, bleh. Since then I read up on the exploit and managed to erase my debt and build up about 150k. Regardless of if you're using the exploit or not, the trick with this game is to play conservatively. If you're looking to play it save always take the offer on the first row valued 15 or higher, but if your gate card is used up then always take the first row valued 10 or higher. If you use the exploit you'll basically profit every time you win though, lol.

All in all it's kinda a fun game, although I doubt I'd have enjoyed it anywhere near as much if someone hadn't found a way to essentially cheat and amass huge quantities of gold. I am kinda pissed that there is no skill involved whatsoever, whereas the original fable had games that required lots of practice to perfect. Despite being a huge fable fan I doubt I would have downloaded it had it not been free with my preorder.

The only thing I worry about is whether or not the cheat/exploit for fortune's tower is intended and if it will have an impact on your character in the real game, or merely an overlooked QA thing that will have no consequences for exploiting.

God I hope not.

I cant for the life of me win a fucking keystone tournament, its all I need to do to be done with the damn stuff.
I have a strat I use that nets like 60-1000 almost everydame, when a 10 or 11 isnt rolled but its not consistant enough gain to get me a place

[Katlan]

Are the pub games just a way to make your character insanley wealthy/op before the game comes out..?

[Kyo]

Well your dont only get money, there are 15 intems you can unlock as well that can be ported into the game when it comes out. But this gives the player the opportunity to start the game off with money since the only way in fable 2 to make money is jobs and pub games.
