Went from Dec 2020, to May 2021 now to Sep 2021

This studio will be dishonored for their failure

I learned that Brahmin thing the first day I played new vegas

I think

That or I just killed a Brahmin trying to pick pocket it

Memory is hazy!

I either played goodie two shoes runs or kill whenever I feel like it

The fact that you get a karma punishment even when undetected is annoying

I agree

It doesn’t make any sense

in fo3 karma is what everyone thinks of you

in NV its more like

actual karma

you do bad things youre a "bad person"

even if your reputation with those people is fine

which is WAY better

But

But then you have problems where pickpocketing "bad" people makes you bad

If no one knows you stole and didn’t get caught

yes rusp no one actually says youre bad

No one would know you’re a bad guy..

its just like how karma is IRL

yes rusp

Being a sneaky little shit doesn't make you bad

and no one in NV knows youre bad

because of karma

in 3 thats how it works

but bad karma does lierally nothing in NV

other than showing where you land

Pretty sure it affects some npc dialogue

And of course the endings

^

It does

There’s dialogues for specific standings

Which is what I was concerned over

it dosnt actually change the "endings"

it just changes subtext

explaining what kind of person you were

iirc

The slideshow cards are what matter most damn it!

the cards are the same though

you just get a word saying

Mr. House makes you immortal if you have good karma!

this weird guy, or this okay guy

Caesar puts your face on their currency!

i think the only thing effected by

low karma

majorily

is uh

And in yesman's ending I think many many more people end up dying in the chaos following the battle if you have low karma

that one companion

Arcade?

no

the girl

cass

you cant do her quest

if youre evil

iirc

I know arcade hates you if you do legion stuff before talking to him

yeah thats not karma though

and again

Right

even with the slides

its not that people dislike you for stealing etc.

its showing the nature of your character

are you a bad natured person

or a good natured person

you have to actively try hard to get negative karma as well

because ghouls give like

100 karma

per kill

Steal from powder gangers = you allow the power gangers and fiends to ransack the entire mojave

actually

stealing from gangs/objectively evgil groups

doesnt lower your karma

iirc

I was close
