Gaming - Fable II

When I first got Fable II I was playing on an Xbox 360 that lacked its harddrive (due to my personal error). Suffice to say, the game was good, playing through it from start multiple times allowed me to learn the tricks to making money, and thus making easy EXP over the course of the game.

For instance, by doing all the good deeds as a kid in Bowerstone Old Town I had a 50% permanent discount on all items and equipment. When I found Fairfax Gardens I discovered that everything there sold for a good 30% more then their actual value. Both to buy items, and to sell them back to the traders.

Using some logic, early into the game I used this to make a good chunk of money to buy equipment that would hold out till mid game, when Master weapons showed up. After that it was just buy for cheap, sell for high, and maintain a high income of money. No need for using the other money trick involving buying property, renting it out, and then abusing the Xbox 360 internal clock when it is not connected to Xbox LIVE.

EXP wise, by donating money to the Temple of Light, you gained EXP for the amount you donated. Making a ton of money from buying in Bowerstone Old Town, and selling in Fairfax Gardens, and making enough to use the sales on weapons to make even more money lead to tons of money for easy exp.

However, due to my game being unpatched, I abused a neat trick. In Oakfield there is a house which gives a speed ability bonus level, that is permanent until you sleep somewhere else. By trying to get rid of the level, you get EXP back, as much as you want, but the level will never decrease. In the end I had all abilities at level 5 and an excess of 5 million exp sitting around for "The Spire" portion of the game.
