games

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

or whatever

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

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

So betraying the powder gangers in the NCR correctional facility raid is okay, but stealing from them while infiltrating is bad

very literal take on Karma

I don't want to be hindu anymore

anyting is better than 3s system

also

Mothership Zeta is way worse than i thoughht

it was fun/fine for a bit

but the second half is just hell

It's weird too because it feels like there was a LOT of effort put into it

Fallout NV doesnt have many animations/cutscenes from first person pov

and mothership zeta has three

Talk about taking the "interactive" out of "interactive cutscene"

time stamp

theres a lot of these things

which i dont dislike they add to the story

but it just sorta suprises e because that feels like it took alot of effort, but the rest is just meh

i definitely wouldnt of minded if NV had some of these

even though I'm playing with difficulty mods, Fallout 3 is terribly balanced still

This DLC was the worst of it

i remembered it being had as a kid, and its still brutal now

because the aliens armor scales with your level

so the aliens have like 85% damage reduction

Fallout 3s Broken Steel dlc also adds "Albino Radscorpions" which are actually just stronger than any foe in the game and can take on multiple deathclaws and yao guais

I will say it feels a lot more dangerous to walk around than NV, where you just barely ever find anything dangerous. The most dangerous foes are legion hit squads, cazadors and deathclaws (sometimes)

and all of thosea re rare

I always get a feeling or dread when I see an rpg have these moments

Because I think if they're gonna take away my control in this moment something really stupid is about to happen
