We've been sitting on the fence about Fable 2's purported dynamic game-world. One with true consequences for all your in-game actions. After all, Fable 2 creator/designer, Peter Molyneaux, has made promises like that before and never fully delivered. But there's just something about everything we've seen of Fable 2 so far that bodes pretty well.

The most recent was the release of Fable 2 Pub Games, an Xbox Live Arcade gambling title that would allow you to accrue precious gold before Fable 2's October release to then use in-game. At the time it sounded like a great idea, and now it turns out the guys at Lionhead had an even deeper desire with the XBLA title.

In one of the games, Fortune Tower, it was possible to 'cheat', however, said cheat was designed to look like more of a glitch. According to an interview over at IGN, Molyneaux has confirmed the glitch was intentional and that anyone who exploited it would face some form of surprise in Fable 2 when the game is released.

The cheat, for those of you wondering, allowed you to bet exorbitant amounts of money by pressing the Left Bumper while placing bets in the game Fortune Towers.

We have an E3 preview and a GC preview available for the game, as well as plenty more on our Fable 2 game page.

Those who cheat get kicked in the balls personally by Peter Molyneaux. (Those who don't just get punched.)

Yeah right. I bet the ramifications of cheating in the pub game is going to be lame. I hope they prove me wrong and do something like stop the player from finishing the game, that would be cool.

You'll probably be robbed, or get arrested for cheating or be branded a cheat or something

greazy should be game designer for all games everywhere.

In Heretic II if you used the cheats from Heretic it would taunt you for trying to cheat.

It could be something like not being allowed into pubs. A fairly serious chunk out of the game without being crippling.
