Karma isn’t going away in Obsidian’s Fallout: New Vegas, but there’s a new addition now: The Reputation system will affect how any given group or faction treats you depending on what you do for (or to) them. And did more than two or three people treat you any differently if you blew up Megaton? Sure, you lost Karma for robbing that one guy and shooting him in the face, but his next-door neighbor still greeted you with a friendly smile.
Did you find Fallout 3‘s Karma system less than spectacular? Obsidian is looking to address that with Fallout: New Vegas’ “Reputation” mechanic.įallout 3 was a great game in many respects, but one of the parts where it fell short was how the game handled morality – more specifically, how characters reacted to you.
