Honestly I think it just depends on where you are in the game. Whether you save it at a certain point in the game or not depends on if it gets corrupted.

I got one out of four saves to actually load without the corrupt message, but the next time I went to load it it said corrupt... I know there was a bug with this game from a few years ago where saves would randomly corrupt, I remember that because that's why I got rid of it. I don't think they ever fixed it either.
i have the same issue with a modded save i made yesterday when i DL the game for free i loaded the save it worked fine then i kept playing got just to the 3rd quest for brightwood then
saved and it wouldnt load anymore i dont get the corrupt save message mine starts loading then freezes my console half way through the load
i hope theres a way to fix it that wont require leaving the console on overnight so you dont F$#k yourself when your save doesnt load
i have a male fable 3 game save with max gold & max gild seals that does not corrupt ever.. even with updates...
Saw an interesting idea by a poster named xAnimal on xboxmb...he suggested having two characters one modded, one unmodded with two different consoles. the modded one can playing together give the unmodded one whatever he wants and the unmodded save should remain fine. Haven't played the game in a long...long time , but this seems like it should work fine. Just get a friend to give you the stuff, then repeat the favor for them .
I ended up doing that myself, just need 2 controllers, I found a modded save with a bunch of weapons,clothes and money and traded it to the second controller player, then saved and loaded my legit character and traded all the stuff to that one. Only problem is no guild seals, and sadly that was the main thing I was trying to mod...
