The weirdest part is that the original Fable's economy wasn't even broken. It only became broken with the Lost Chapters DLC, and for some reason they just left it in the Anniversary edition.
Isn't it "fixed" in the new difficulty? (buy-sell price exploit I mean) Sell-wrong-item exploit is bad, I haven't seen it before... Not sure if it works/useful there too. Everything else doesn't seem to be that broken. Rent isn't a good way to make money anyway...
the trophy exploit was present in the original version of the game. as were several other game-breaking bugs (npc duplication with shovel used to farm renown, etc.) source: my hundred hours spent playing fable with exploits as a kid.
Ow yes it was broken. It just an out of the box thinking.. literally. Now here is the trick. Fable kept track on how much time you were "offline" and apply that in the game. So if you were offline for three days, the game "knew" this because it kept track of the timestamp of your last save. So in return you'll get 3 days worth of rent money. So the trick is: You just buy yourself a house --> save the game and exit to the xbox menu --> alter the time settings as much back in time as it could. --> reload the save --> save it again. --> go back to the xbox settings and set it to the current time and date. --> Tadaa you'll get about a hundred years worth of gold. Note: this also applies to Fable 2 for xbox
@@artolaganus I actually stumbled on buy-sell exploit (and the fact that any house can be bought) entirely on my own :) I didn't have internet access at all back then. But I think you're right - my friends knew *only* about houses, though they didn't play this game as much as I did.
Watching you effortlessly run rings around this game's immensely broken economy makes me feel like a huge mug for having spent the entire game struggling to pay for literally everything
Storyline, a red eyed demon shows up, slaughters everyone in town then buys up all the real estate and becomes the landlord to various towns. This actually sounds like an interesting story lol got some There Will Be Blood vibes lol

@@Kalleosini I believe jeff over here is trying to compare people fighting for their lives with a dude going around murdering people for money, but the iq threshold to make that comparison is lower than the one to write a coherent sentence.
Ebon Hawk I’m afraid I must inform you that the current event these people are referring to is much more complicated than either person lets on. “People fighting for their lives” is ennobling many people who are either exacerbating the problem, or taking advantage of it. On the other hand, saying it is a “make believe problem” is disingenuous, as law enforcement should be trained better and held accountable for things like criminal negligence, which is what this group of officers will most likely get in my opinion.
@@kolbywilliams6288 This, this is good. It has some typos and basic errors, but it's a great argument that properly acknowledges both sides of the conflict.
there are actually 2 parts of the game where you can essentially gain infinite XP. in the middle of the game where you are warping around, you hit a point where you are in the tunnels fighting an infinite spawn of hobbes, you cast the shield spell that keeps them from resetting your combat multiplier and as long as you keep that up, you can kill the hobbes infinitely with massive combat multipler getting massive exp. and because they are constantly respawning non-stop.....
The first thing i thought when i've heard there's a new Total War game: this is surely a perfectly balanced game with no exploits and i'm looking forward to a new Spiff video since
If you want to avoid killing villagers yourself, go to the bandit camp and have bandits follow you back to Oakvale, then dismiss them to set them loose - they won’t start killing unless you dismiss them. Then, once they’ve killed everyone in the area, make them follow you again and lead them to more people to kill and dismiss again, and repeat. The only villager they won’t kill is the tavern owner and the game master. Alternatively, you can have villagers follow you to the chapel of skorm lol Oh, and yeah, piercing augmentations are actually kind of rare. Duping them would be neat. Also, you can grind earth trolls at the ancient cullis gate in darkwood to stock up on a massive pile of rubies, and then use them to do that buy/sell supply/demand guile exploit for a lot more gold per iteration. And then you can slowly stock up on diamonds by buying them from the bower stone north trader whenever they restock, and then doing the guile trading exploit again for huge amounts of gold, because diamonds are worth a lot, allowing for more room for discounts. You can do this in the OG game, too, but this duping / item replacement glitch is absolutely revolutionary. Oh, also, you can do all of this (except the diamonds / bowerstone north shop bit) before you even take your first quest card, allowing you to access top-tier wandering traders, which are reset to trash tier when you take the wasp quest.
I love this exploit! I got this game when it first came out. During that time, me and my mother figured out in a few weeks that by genocide means, we could own property and become filthy rich. This is still one of my favorite exploits to this day!
the one time I had an evil character was in gosh which one was it. the one where you start in a caravan? where you could buy property without killing people first. I never killed a single innocent person but I ended up with kind of a lawful evil appearance because I bought every single house in the game and cranked the rent all the way up. Now I have to look up which one that was I can't remember. I think it was 2?
You just unlocked a childhood memory for me I used to buy all the houses put tax up to full, skip the time on my xbox by a year and take the sweet sweet money
Same here. Except that I was 24. I still remember buying out all of something accidentally and then selling it back. When I saw the price for the resale I was all like "Hang on a second" and my exploiting had begun. LoL :)
I was having sex when he said that. Because as we all know The Spiffing Brit is a perfectly balanced UA-cam channel with no exploits, excluding the ultimate aphrodisiac.
- You can make them follow you out of town, tell them to wait, go back and buy their house. No murder required and allows you to buy the houses in Bowerstone, both parts of it. When they respawn they won't run away in fear. - Trading gems to the vendor in Oakdale works better, they're on his "wanted" items list Edit: dude, Fable is my jam, hmu
@@NWolfsson you need "fame" to get them to follow you, can take like 5-6 at a time. The Bowerstone houses in the fancy area are crazy expensive though.
The ”killing people and then renting out their house” exploit was one of the few exploits I was able to figure out as a kid. Guards will come at you iirc, but once you are in the end game you can easily kill the guards.
You don't even need to get into the end game, the strongest weapon in the game can be bought at a store you can reach in the early game, costing about as much as you would expect out of a mid game weapon.
@@AzathothXy Even easier is to just get Fireball to level 3. Throw it at a wall and let the explosion/splash damage kill them. The game doesn't register that damage as being done by you. That means that you lose no morality, gain no kills on your stats sheet, gain no bounty, and the guards won't do anything. Perfectly balanced with no exploits. = )
Oh god, please tell us how that goes. I want to hear their reaction to this video. (Also, thank them for their part in helping to make a truly fun and beloved game.)
TL.DR: You can MAX FAME at the beginning of the game easily, fighting Trolls for about 3-5 hours, depending on your Hobbes kill count (In The Lost Chapter, but I bet it's the same here) Very early into the game, some areas after the Hobbes Cave (or whatever the name is, really good location to easily farm exp), there is this area with some stone structures.. some ancient teleport or so? The Trolls keeps spawning there. The thing is, when I played Fable in past for the second time and got there, I quickly noticed that these trolls keep giving you Rubies and it's very easy to figure out how to spawn them fast (I think I was able to get about 3 kills per minute, with being able to kill them fast)...thus after like ~3.5 hours (not sure the exact time, it was long ago) of killing them I had like 300+ Rubies and.... MAXED FAME! I was at the very beginning of the game, just farming hundreds of Trolls in beginner's location and made Fame already USELESS for the rest of the game, making many mechanisms of gaining it (like bragging and quest rewards) also useless! So, within first several hours of the game (I played like 2h+ before that Troll Farm, maybe 3h, then that Troll Farm) I had maxed Fame, maxed yellow (Skill) exp skills, hundreds of thousands of gold, big stockpile of everything I could buy out from everyone I met and very significant progress in Strength and different Will spells, as mos of the time I didn't fought Trolls was being spent in fighting Hobbes dudes... This was kinda discouraging how broken it was and how fast the grind was, making me too OP and not feeling too rewarded from doing many things in the game that followed after that.
Yeah but its not a super quick or easy exploit so its not hard to just not do that and play normally if the exploit makes the game boring, if you've played it a few times and want to do a story run then its not a bad way to speed up the game
I remember doing the trophy exploit for unhealthy lengths of time when the game was in it's original release. I don't know what's better, the fact that the re-release contains the same exploit, or the fact that someone can exploit the exploit for for memes over 15 years later. Please keep up the good work
You can just eat tofu to become good and baby chicks to become evil and the apple exploit makes it much faster than going to the temple and possible to do before you even do the first quest
Fable 1-3 will always be a wonderful education course in the trials of comedy and game design. I used these exploits as well just by playing it so much
I loved the dream of becoming landlord of everything in Fable. Without the infinite money cheat, I almost succeeded. Unfortunately, the devs mucked up a bit, because in one city there are children, they decided that you shouldn't be able to kill children, so since the children were part owners of the house you can never buy their house, (and the devs did not provide a way to get all property without murder).
@Spiff, couple exploits I remember from back in the day: 1. You can save game scum during quests to repeat the donation loop in order to bring yourself back down to the lowest age. 2. (Not exploit) different amounts donated give special items or something like that. 3. You can use the save scum to save loop and gain as many silver keys as you want for the special chests around the world, giving access right when you start the game. I think that's everything. There's also the hilarious werewolf summoning that happens when you spell a curse word in that totem-activation quest.
This may sound insane, but I never knew Fable Anniversary was on PC, I literally just found out about it I'm going to buy this off Steam and mod the hell out of it.
You could just use the follow emote to gather up a bunch of NPCs and sacrifice them or just let monsters kill them. Letting monsters kill them has no alignment penalty so you can keep your halo and still have all the houses.

The weirdest part is that the original Fable's economy wasn't even broken. It only became broken with the Lost Chapters DLC, and for some reason they just left it in the Anniversary edition.
Isn't it "fixed" in the new difficulty? (buy-sell price exploit I mean)
Sell-wrong-item exploit is bad, I haven't seen it before... Not sure if it works/useful there too.
Everything else doesn't seem to be that broken. Rent isn't a good way to make money anyway...
the trophy exploit was present in the original version of the game. as were several other game-breaking bugs (npc duplication with shovel used to farm renown, etc.)
source: my hundred hours spent playing fable with exploits as a kid.
Ow yes it was broken. It just an out of the box thinking.. literally. Now here is the trick. Fable kept track on how much time you were "offline" and apply that in the game. So if you were offline for three days, the game "knew" this because it kept track of the timestamp of your last save. So in return you'll get 3 days worth of rent money.
So the trick is: You just buy yourself a house --> save the game and exit to the xbox menu --> alter the time settings as much back in time as it could. --> reload the save --> save it again. --> go back to the xbox settings and set it to the current time and date. --> Tadaa you'll get about a hundred years worth of gold.
Note: this also applies to Fable 2 for xbox
@@sergei_gruntovsky it is an offline rpg, if you dont look these bugs up you will probably not notice them at all
@@artolaganus I actually stumbled on buy-sell exploit (and the fact that any house can be bought) entirely on my own :) I didn't have internet access at all back then. But I think you're right - my friends knew *only* about houses, though they didn't play this game as much as I did.

And if I was you, I'd ignore these exploit videos, and just play the original Fable Lost Chapters version. Best for the experience, uhm, again ;) Just with more. Enjoy, and remember I warned you(re missus about that missing family time. So sorry), you will spoil the game using exploits. Knowing how, lets you know how to avoid it.

I’m afraid I must inform you that the current event these people are referring to is much more complicated than either person lets on. “People fighting for their lives” is ennobling many people who are either exacerbating the problem, or taking advantage of it. On the other hand, saying it is a “make believe problem” is disingenuous, as law enforcement should be trained better and held accountable for things like criminal negligence, which is what this group of officers will most likely get in my opinion.

there are actually 2 parts of the game where you can essentially gain infinite XP. in the middle of the game where you are warping around, you hit a point where you are in the tunnels fighting an infinite spawn of hobbes, you cast the shield spell that keeps them from resetting your combat multiplier and as long as you keep that up, you can kill the hobbes infinitely with massive combat multipler getting massive exp. and because they are constantly respawning non-stop.....

If you want to avoid killing villagers yourself, go to the bandit camp and have bandits follow you back to Oakvale, then dismiss them to set them loose - they won’t start killing unless you dismiss them. Then, once they’ve killed everyone in the area, make them follow you again and lead them to more people to kill and dismiss again, and repeat. The only villager they won’t kill is the tavern owner and the game master.
Alternatively, you can have villagers follow you to the chapel of skorm lol
Oh, and yeah, piercing augmentations are actually kind of rare. Duping them would be neat.
Also, you can grind earth trolls at the ancient cullis gate in darkwood to stock up on a massive pile of rubies, and then use them to do that buy/sell supply/demand guile exploit for a lot more gold per iteration. And then you can slowly stock up on diamonds by buying them from the bower stone north trader whenever they restock, and then doing the guile trading exploit again for huge amounts of gold, because diamonds are worth a lot, allowing for more room for discounts.
You can do this in the OG game, too, but this duping / item replacement glitch is absolutely revolutionary.
Oh, also, you can do all of this (except the diamonds / bowerstone north shop bit) before you even take your first quest card, allowing you to access top-tier wandering traders, which are reset to trash tier when you take the wasp quest.

Maybe the real exploits were the friends we made along the way
I see that Albion's religious hierarchy runs on indulgences.
I love this exploit! I got this game when it first came out. During that time, me and my mother figured out in a few weeks that by genocide means, we could own property and become filthy rich. This is still one of my favorite exploits to this day!
But you don't need to kill, just say follow leave town then tell them to wait and boom empty property. I discovered that first playthough as a teen.
Despite playing the fable series for years I have never actually played an evil run
They need more grey choices. I tried an evil playthrough but just felt like a douche.
i only do evil runs and its always accidental
lol same
the one time I had an evil character was in gosh which one was it. the one where you start in a caravan? where you could buy property without killing people first. I never killed a single innocent person but I ended up with kind of a lawful evil appearance because I bought every single house in the game and cranked the rent all the way up. Now I have to look up which one that was I can't remember. I think it was 2?
@@Shayoni That's Fable 2.

"There are no mistakes, only exploits."

You just unlocked a childhood memory for me I used to buy all the houses put tax up to full, skip the time on my xbox by a year and take the sweet sweet money
I love that i was inadvertently using this exploit when i was about 11 😆
Same here. Except that I was 24. I still remember buying out all of something accidentally and then selling it back. When I saw the price for the resale I was all like "Hang on a second" and my exploiting had begun. LoL :)
"the average world of warcraft player" ...i... was playing world of warcraft when he said that :c

- You can make them follow you out of town, tell them to wait, go back and buy their house. No murder required and allows you to buy the houses in Bowerstone, both parts of it. When they respawn they won't run away in fear.
- Trading gems to the vendor in Oakdale works better, they're on his "wanted" items list
Edit: dude, Fable is my jam, hmu

As a native new Yorker this was hilarious
The ”killing people and then renting out their house” exploit was one of the few exploits I was able to figure out as a kid. Guards will come at you iirc, but once you are in the end game you can easily kill the guards.
You don't even need to get into the end game, the strongest weapon in the game can be bought at a store you can reach in the early game, costing about as much as you would expect out of a mid game weapon.
Just go there at night, cast slow time, kill the tenants. No guard involvement.
@@AzathothXy Even easier is to just get Fireball to level 3. Throw it at a wall and let the explosion/splash damage kill them. The game doesn't register that damage as being done by you. That means that you lose no morality, gain no kills on your stats sheet, gain no bounty, and the guards won't do anything. Perfectly balanced with no exploits. = )
@@Wh173c0c0 Nice. Though I want the evil points to eventually get Skorm's bow, before purging myself at the temple of Avo.

I love this game so much, this is the biggest piece of my childhood favorite games
TL.DR: You can MAX FAME at the beginning of the game easily, fighting Trolls for about 3-5 hours, depending on your Hobbes kill count (In The Lost Chapter, but I bet it's the same here)
Very early into the game, some areas after the Hobbes Cave (or whatever the name is, really good location to easily farm exp), there is this area with some stone structures.. some ancient teleport or so? The Trolls keeps spawning there.
The thing is, when I played Fable in past for the second time and got there, I quickly noticed that these trolls keep giving you Rubies and it's very easy to figure out how to spawn them fast (I think I was able to get about 3 kills per minute, with being able to kill them fast)...thus after like ~3.5 hours (not sure the exact time, it was long ago) of killing them I had like 300+ Rubies and.... MAXED FAME!
I was at the very beginning of the game, just farming hundreds of Trolls in beginner's location and made Fame already USELESS for the rest of the game, making many mechanisms of gaining it (like bragging and quest rewards) also useless!
So, within first several hours of the game (I played like 2h+ before that Troll Farm, maybe 3h, then that Troll Farm) I had maxed Fame, maxed yellow (Skill) exp skills, hundreds of thousands of gold, big stockpile of everything I could buy out from everyone I met and very significant progress in Strength and different Will spells, as mos of the time I didn't fought Trolls was being spent in fighting Hobbes dudes...
This was kinda discouraging how broken it was and how fast the grind was, making me too OP and not feeling too rewarded from doing many things in the game that followed after that.
Yeah but its not a super quick or easy exploit so its not hard to just not do that and play normally if the exploit makes the game boring, if you've played it a few times and want to do a story run then its not a bad way to speed up the game
Sounds like you went out of your way to ruin it ngl
I guess being god is boring after all.
A: Crusader Kings 3 I'm looking forward to another adventure of 100 stat man!
I remember doing the trophy exploit for unhealthy lengths of time when the game was in it's original release.
I don't know what's better, the fact that the re-release contains the same exploit, or the fact that someone can exploit the exploit for for memes over 15 years later. Please keep up the good work

Heh. I see what you did there. Excellent pun!
Slaughtering the inhabitants, claiming ownership of their houses/land and then renting it out...Sounds familiar...
I loved the dream of becoming landlord of everything in Fable. Without the infinite money cheat, I almost succeeded. Unfortunately, the devs mucked up a bit, because in one city there are children, they decided that you shouldn't be able to kill children, so since the children were part owners of the house you can never buy their house, (and the devs did not provide a way to get all property without murder).
@RJ Ehlert I think the only kid you can kill is the kid from the rose cottage quest.

God I miss this game, it was so beautifully broken. I have many fond memories of exactly this scenario lol
@Spiff, couple exploits I remember from back in the day:
1. You can save game scum during quests to repeat the donation loop in order to bring yourself back down to the lowest age.
2. (Not exploit) different amounts donated give special items or something like that.
3. You can use the save scum to save loop and gain as many silver keys as you want for the special chests around the world, giving access right when you start the game.
I think that's everything. There's also the hilarious werewolf summoning that happens when you spell a curse word in that totem-activation quest.
This unironically is how most properties were seized
I would love to be able to drink some tea while I watch Skyrim.
This may sound insane, but I never knew Fable Anniversary was on PC, I literally just found out about it I'm going to buy this off Steam and mod the hell out of it.
You could just use the follow emote to gather up a bunch of NPCs and sacrifice them or just let monsters kill them. Letting monsters kill them has no alignment penalty so you can keep your halo and still have all the houses.
