So I have Fable II Pub Games and have pretty much cheesed myself obscene amounts of gold with the Tower/Trigger glitch, and unlocked a few of the in-game things.

If I was to pick up Fable II, what bonus(es) am I looking at here? Did they sneak in a way to punish those who abused that exploit?

I think there's some name calling, but you still get your money.  Or part of it, at least.  I'm not really sure...

So what does the pragmatic, morally neutral approach get you?

I keep hearing about it, but I don't know exactly what the penalty is.

The what?

I think you've misconstrued what she's taking about.  There was an exploit in the xboxlive pub games that would allow you to get retarded amounts of gold.  The exploit was patched, but they didn't restart everybody.  It's not that the hero was 'cheating', but the player that was cheating.

If you're talking in general, well...

You are a hero.  You will save the world.  It's just a matter of whether it's for the common good or your own selfish reasons ("You can't destroy the world!  That's where I keep all my stuff!").

I'm playing goody-goody, but it's been pretty easy.  I pretty much just have to not be an asshole.  I haven't run into any "sacrificing of myself" situations, yet.

Well, I will say that it is much better than the original at making the choices natural. There's rarely an excluded middle option.

Is it like Fable 1, KoTOR and a dozen other moral-judgement games, where what you are in the end is based on a single, unambiguous decision, rather than your behavior up to that point?

Well, in the original Fable, your ending monologue was based ALSO on your behavior to that point.

If you're a complete prick (awful alignment) at the end, but decide to SPOILERS, you get a slightly different ending than being goody-two-shoes all of the way.

Tell me it isn't an inflection thing like Bioshock.

That was the silliest middle ending ever.

I don't remember too clearly, I think they recycled about half of the non-engine good ending. It talks about how your redemption is a sign of hope for everyone across albion.

I beat the game by being the shining definition of good.  Jesus Christ you will sacrifice yourself over and over for nothing in return.  And the end result... Is not worth it.  My character is old, and has nothing left.

That, I think, is the strongest possible way to portray a super-good character.  You have to give everything.

BIG ASS FUCKING SPOILER.

YOU WERE WARNED DAMMIT.

[spoiler]Dog jumps to take a bullet for you.  Bullet hits him in the face, he yelps and falls aside DEAD.

At the end of the game you have to choose between the many, the few, and yourself.  I saved the many.  They made me a statue.  My dog is dead.  I don't WANT to do the after-end-game quests, because MY BEST FRIEND isn't here to help me dig up treasure.[/spoiler]

Actually, that's one spoiler I'm glad I read. That wasn't a resource I thought would be compromised.
I'm going to take that to heart and (if I ever get to play it) go through as many sidequests in the main story as possible.

EDIT:
MADMAX, do you want to seel ur gam 4 cheep? :profit:

Actually, if you'd be willing to sell to me, I'd (probably) be willing to beat the gamespot offer and cover shipping.

Get off me you vulture, I've gotta try and play an evil female next, and try to get demon appearance while crossdressing.

Then I have to send it home and make my dad play this.  I will probably cease to care when i get fallout 3

I started off evil, then turned around and went way good, and now I'm swinging back to neutral before I go to the home stretch. The glowing red eyes didn't do it for me and the halo started getting on my nerves. Kept purity maxed out the whole time, though.

Fortunately the late game provided me with many convenient opportunities to be a massive toolbox. I only had to commit a few public murders to get back in the high end of neutral.
