Forum:Reputation Problem!

Ok so. I have been experiencing a problem with the reputation in this damn game. It didnt happen until AFTER the new patch. I first noticed it one day when i was playing a character that was Idolized by the NCR, Accepted by the Great Khans, and Vilified by Caesars Legion. I brought up my Pip-Boy and noticed that i had Neutral reputation with all three factions. It happened multiple times with one character, and now has started happening with two other characters. Im playing the game right now I was supposed to be Vilified with Legion, Accepted with the Khans, and Mixed with the NCR. HOWEVER my rep is showing up as Merciful Thug, Idolized, and Wild Child respectively. Ive had problems with this game from the get go, and im not gonna lie im getting kind of pissed. I was so excited for this game to come out now im finding myself at times wishing that i hadnt wasted my money, but i digress. Has anyone else had this problem, and know of a way to correct it? Trying to do missions to gain fame or infamy isnt going to work because ill wake up and just have a completely different reputation again....

Any info on the subject would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, Fisto! The Relentless 04:27, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's your clothes. Have you been wearing faction based clothing or armor without realizing? MoonshadowDark

As you gain infamy/fame with a group you move up on a fame scale. You gained NCR fame to become a merciful thug from mixed, gained Khan fame to be idolized from accepted, and gained Legion infamy to get to wild child from vilified. Also the whole appearing neutral to all factions occurs when you are wearing a disguise (faction armor) Tips994 11:05, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

I thought it was my clothes too but i was wearing Ranger Armor and still Neutral with NCR. And as far as gaining fame or infamy I hadnt done ANYTHING to change my reputation with any of those factions at that point in time. It just changed seemingly on its own. So yeah... Any other ideas?

It has nothing to do with my faction clothing. It happens regardless of what I wear. It happened with all of my characters and only one of them wears faction armor. Fisto! The Relentless 05:52, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

I just spent about 4 days reviewing Reputation. The Faction Armor issue appears to be only with Factions (add/remove/setenemy, etc), not Reputation. There are a number of places where Reputation is being incremented incorrectly (there's only positive (1) and negative (0), but (2) and (3) are being used). My gut feeling is that the Reputation values are stored as a table, and if so referencing anything except (0) or (1) will cause some very unexpected results.

I had a problem when I killed Caesar wearing the chinese stealth suit (aparently its considered NCR but doesnt change or neutralise rep). When I returned to Vegas I checked the map for something and my NCR rep had gone from Idolized to neutral and no matter what armour I put on or took off affected this. I then patched my game a few weeks later (played on another character) and I looked around for NCR Quests (unfortunately I had done every one). I did notice tho I could hand in NCR tags tho. Now Im not sure what happened but I swapped my chars Chinese stealth armour with my companions chinese stealth armour and handed in some NCR tags, returned to the Lucky 38 to save my game and I noticed on my map I was Idolized again with NCR and since then have had no issues. Not sure if ANY of that helped but just thought I'd post it.Kaldhore 19:09, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

Im throwing my hands up. I JUST Did 3 NCR quests including the reclamation of Nelson, and My reputation hasnt changed with either the Legion or the NCR. The game said I gained infamy with the legion and Fame with NCR it even went out of its way to tell me I was vilified by Legion. Im just frustrated at this point. Its completely discouraging me from playing. Ive only completed the main quest once because of this crap. arg I just wish the Jackoffs that made it would try to do something about it. Im sorry. Im very mad. I was so excited for this game and have had so many problems with it since i bought it. Which is a decision that, Im sorry to say, I regret. Fisto!

i have the same problem. its when you wear different factions armor. say your wearing the ncr ranger armor and your idolised by the ncr, you then put a different ncr clothes on and it resets your reputation. it really pisses me off! also when you get to the strip and see that ncr mayor person, he resets your reputation. i just started a new game so im gunna wear non faction armor all the way through. -JoshGDC

I was actually JUST noticing that it only happened when i equipped faction armor. Im glad someone else is having this problem. So dont wear faction armor. Which sucks BECAUSE WE SHOULDNT HAVE TO AVOID IT. I created NCR and Legion characters, and all they wear is the armor of their respective factions. If I want to be a Ranger or Centurion I should be able to do that. Im still really mad about it because it seems that Obsidian isnt even addressing the issue. Theyre more concerned about how well the weapons and combat perform. I know that other people have had this problem. They have had to notice it. I mean they have to test this shit before it goes out, but it just seems like theyre sweeping it under the rug. Nothing Ive read about the new patch mentions it. so idk. Im pissed and dont know what to do about it.Fisto! The Relentless 20:32, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
