Owning all property

Post by Polyphemus »

I am currently working on gathering up all the property in the game. I own all of Oakvale, Knothole Glade, and Hook Coast. I am trying to get Bowerstone South, but I can't get the children to follow me out of the town, and I know that they can't be killed. They remain in the houses even after their parents are gone, which means that as long as they exist, I can't own the property that they reside in.

Has anyone managed to find a way around this?

yeah . an easy way to own bowerstone is to do the freeze cheat, and all the property in bowerstone will be for sale. (except for the school) . to do this cheat just go to oakvale, assassin rush out of there, hold down B and down. youll attempt to run back into oakvale. freezing everyone in the game teleport to bowerstone.houses should be for sale. if not run to bowerstone north and then back to bowerstone south and then sales are up .

to get out of the cheat dig.

HEY GREAT!! Thanks a lot. I never even knew about it. Now if only I could get my game not to freeze when I DON'T want it to. I just ordered another copy of Fable, I hope that one works better than my current one. I'm trying this as soon as I can.

EDIT:

Is that down on the D-Pad or on the analog stick? Thanks.

also, when you freeze, feel free to go rob some stores (weapon/clothing stores are probably best to rob (the one in hook coast usually has dark boots/ augmentations out and the one in pakvale has alot of chainmail)) and best of all, if you leave the area and then come back, you will have no fines (best bet is to unfreeze it out of town tho)

anyone notice that there is some problems when you try buying property in oakvale? i notice sometimes things are for sale and sometimes they arent

You could say that, but really what happens is NPCs that owned the property respawns and takes the building to 'simulate' it. If hero is out of range(1 map inc. fillers.) then the building sign can expire.

Yeah, but do you know how much you can make if you keep them all and collect rent for a few hours? Even more. From selling two towns (Oakvale and Knothole Glade, I think) I made about 350,000. From collecting rent, I have spent over 2,000,000.

:eek:

How is that posible???
Can you own the stores in dark wood :eek: ?
350.000 :eek: for collecting rent?
How did you get 2,000,000 :eek: ?

Let me see...
oakvale 13.000
knotle glade 19.000
bowerstone North 24.000
Hook coast 12.000
Bowerstone south 5.000(not sure)

that is what you get for renting all albion for 3 days...

Now let sum everything:

....Everything is 72.000 per three days of renting...
now how did you get 350.000??? :confused: :eek:

[QUOTE=penguin_king]excuse me? did you say you spent 2 mil?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I've donated over a million to the temple of Avo, got more than a couple master weapons, own all of Albion with the exception of Bowerstone South. (That's not true at the moment, I sold a bunch of my property to buy up Bowerstone North, and haven't gotten around to re-buying Oakvale or Hook Coast.) I would post a pic or something, but I don't have the proper equipment and my XBox has been bugging out the last couple of weeks. Going to get a new one this week. It's not a big deal, when you buy and sell 95,000 dollar properties more than a couple of times, it tends to add up after a while.

[QUOTE= Solid355]....Everything is 72.000 per three days of renting...
now how did you get 350.000???[/QUOTE]

The numbers you posted are how much you can get by renting out the different towns, I was talking about how much you could make by selling them. It was a really rough guess.

Knothole Glade:

The three warehouses, each worth (help me out here) 15,000, one is worth something like 13.5.
there are two houses at the bottom of the hill across from the tattoo and blacksmith's shops, one worth 15, one worth 13.5.
The houses at the top of the hill are worth upwards of 20 thousand, and there are four of them.
All together Knothole is worth about 150-160 thousand by my estimate, not including shops. Again, if I could I would load the game and check everything myself, but that won't be happening until Thursday.

Hook Coast has a building worth 94 thousand (I think), one worth fifty to sixty, both on top of the hill, then there's one next to the item shop worth 50 something, and your marital house is worth 45 thousand??? Those together are worth more than 350,000, and then there's oakvale that has to be another 100,000 at least.

[QUOTE= Solid355]"How did you get 2,000,000"[/QUOTE]

Not really that hard if you think about it. You said yourself that you can get 72,000 gold / three game days. So if you average how long it takes to sleep six times, and run around the four different towns (I usually make it three so that I can teleport directly into Bower. N. every time) you can collect about 50-60 thousand in a matter of minutes. Do that ten times, and you have half a million, do it thirty more, spread out over a couple of days (in real life) and throw in some hobbe slaughtering, bandit raids, and drinking expeditions so it doesn't get mind-numbingly repetative, and you'll be a millionaire in no time. Who needs Regis?

But you gotta buy them first, and without using the trophy trick you will just get your money back with no earnings. Curse the housing market of Fable.

well..first u gotta make the money to spend. on my GOOD account, i can make 100k in 10 mins, thats selling the house with Jacks Mask and Mazes Clasp, breaking in and "stealing" them back, then buying the house again.

of course on my evil account. i can sleep 6 times and make 13.5k in Knothole Glade, but thats cuz i can kill everyone without my allignment changing.

then i could donate after i become a freaking millionare. but that could take days on my good character and i dont really have that much time except on weekends because i spend 7-8 hours at school on the weekdays, unless i have a sick day ;)

btw, what is the equipment required to take a screen shot and/or movie of you playing Xbox?

i could use it cuz i know a few tricks in Halo 1 and 2

Well, in my new game I own all of Knothole Glade and Bowerstone North. Yes you can make 17.6 K in one grab in Knothole, but if you portal there with full money, collect, then sleep and collect again, that's 35.2 grand per grab. Then Bowersone North is worth about 22 K, so all told in "two" pickups, which to me is essentially one round, you can make about 80 grand per pickup. The trick is getting the money to buy Bower. N. in the first place. But after you do, it's smooth sailing. :)
