Forum:Reputation and Karma

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Bethesda plans to expand on Reputation and Karma? I'm assuming if you have good reputation people will hold you in respect and awe, as opposed to if you have bad reputation where people will fear and hate you. But if, say, you are playing a person with a bad reputation with great karma, will people respond to you differently yet again? Perhaps acting fearful when you first meet them but eventually warming up to you?

Or would such a reaction be unnecessarily complicated, and so Bethesda plans to stick to the two generic responses based solely on the reputation system?

Considering that the bones of such a system were implemented into Fallout 2 it's fully plausible that they will include a similar system in New Vegas. Sheepbiter 10:51, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

As much as we know know your reputation among various factions will be tracked, and will even give you access to new areas in the game while karma will do roughly the same as in FO3. But I could be wrong or karmaas I haven't heard anything about it in NV yet. Cpt. E. Blackadder 16:18, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

The official Xbox Magazine for April 2010 said that NV will have karma which will be for overall in the game and reputation for a certain city. Example: Say you have a bad Karma and you save Goodsprings, your reputation will go up alot but you Karma will go up a little. The Chosen One 03:03, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

Similar to the FO2 system then. Hopefully this time it'll affect a bit more than in Two though... Sheepbiter 12:14, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
