If it follows later on as sending a victimised person to suffer a legally deserved punishment, but morally wrong one it could go 3 or more ways. You make a joke or tell a minor lie to help someone it swung drastically in two directions. In that game it was a mini story all of its own, almost every dialogue topic ( not tree ) had an effect on alignment. Should really take Planescape: Torment as its base line / goal. There is only one really noticeable effect from karma that I have seen aside from minor quest hooks (most of which can be gotten around with a speech check of some kind) - you will lose one companion permanently if your karma goes too far in one direction.ДЄny game that requires Karma in a meaningfull way. Losing karma for stealing from the Powder Gangers - convicted criminals actively pursuing further criminal endeavors - is very shaky to me. Losing karma for stealing from the Legion I can sort of see, as while they may have brutal methods, we know that not everyone there is truly evil (you could be stealing from the slaves instead of the masters, after all).

I know that if you have good karma, Mortimer won't offer his quest to you, and I think there are a handful of dialogue options, but it's really not a big deal. It doesn't have any major effects apart from the ending slides. It's also slightly dodgy that you lose karma for, for example, stealing from the Legion when you're fighting against them. In NV it makes it alot harder to RP a neutral or evil character when you're forced good karma.Д¬harleigh Anderson Posts: 3398 Joined: Fri 5:17 am You're right, F3 was a little improper in how it implented it too, but it was better than F:NV. I think it should go back to the system F3 had, killing named Evil/Very Evil characters gave karma. Killing the Fiends is clearly a good thing, but is it REALLY a karma worthy thing? That's highly debatable. It might have been better had they made it so killing Fiends gave, say, a tenth of a point of faction rep with Freeside/The Strip/NCR per kill, instead of any karma at all. Gain 100 karma for killing a druggie who didn't even know you were sneaking up behind him with a sniper rifle? Seriously? At least you can get around the karma hit by letting your companions kill all the fiends and feral ghouls, but it's a half-assed solution at best. Lose one karma for feeding on the corpses of your enemies no matter who they are? Umm. While FO3 didn't quite get it right either, I agree they did a slightly better job of it than NV.
