I have talked to a lot of people over XBL about weather they played as the good, bad, or the neutral. Most of them say they would like to play with Bad Karma because, they like killing people and stealing items. Personally I like to play Neutral because, I also like to steal things but then I also save more people than I kill. I know Karma really doesn't mean a lot in Fallout New Vegas than it does in Fallout 3. In New Vegas it's more focused on which faction you with rather than what your Karma is.

But I would still like to know.So? Good, Bad, or Neutral?Posts: 3463 Joined: Wed Apr 18, 2007 11:34 pm. Good, only because it's the easiest to maintain by far.You're not kidding. Even in my Caesar playthrough, where I committed atrocities, killed profligates innocent people in the name of demoralizing the NCR, and sided with the Legion at every possible turn, I still finished the game with the karmic rank of 'messiah.'

Because I wiped out the Fiends in Vault 3, which apparently gives you so much good karma that you can never hope to bring it back down. I just remember looking up at crucified Benny and then opening my Pip-Boy to the screen that displays karma and finding that I was considered to be a 'shield of hope.'

Also, stealing stuff has next to zero actual effect on karma.

Aside from the message, the actual change is insignificant. There have been some mods that attempt to fix this. I wrote one myself and I use it all the time. It's called Bad Karma:when I get to New Vegas around level 8 to 10 I'm either still neutral or just into the good spectrum, if I'm playing good. The readme shows the charts so you can see how this fixes it so karma loss from killing good people, stealing, cannibalism and such more than offsets the gains from killing evil people.One thing of note, one of the difficulties with New Vegas, is how the game uses those variables to determine, 'murder good folks.'

When you kill someone evil you often get a net karma gain (unless the creature or NPC is not flagged, which happens on many of the respawn ones). But when you kill good people there's no effect on karma. It only counts murder. So a quest like, 'Run, Goodsprings Run,' once the townsfolk turn hostile killing them does not have the major impact that it should.

But if you were to murder Sunny Smiles outside of that quest you'd take a huge karma hit. It's a game engine thing that determines the difference between murder and killing, they're not treated the same even though they probably should be the same or similar.The readme talks about that. It's a fundamental problem with the game design. But if you murder one or two good folks or steal a lot of stuff, you'll feel it.But to answer the original question (almost forgot) I prefere Neutral. I often end up on the good side in the end, because neutrals wouldn't just go around murdering and stealing a lot for no good reason, but there have been times I tried being evil but I didn't like that as much.Posts: 3474 Joined: Thu Dec 28, 2006 5:19 am.

Plot The Vit-O-Matic allows you to place your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. PointsFallout: New Vegas takes place in and near its titular city, three years after the events of. You play as a wasteland who, at the beginning of the game, is shot in the head by an unknown assailant in a checkered suit, and buried in a shallow grave while attempting to travel to the town of. The courier is then found by Victor the Securitron, a who happened to see the murder attempt from afar and dug the courier out of the potential grave once the assailants left the crime scene. Victor then brings the courier to the small, nearby Nevada town of, more specifically to the home of, the town's resident doctor.

Once you are back at the town, Mitchell removes the bullet pieces that were scattered in your skull. After the bullet fragments are removed and your wound is cleaned and healed, Mitchell asks you your name; after you tell him, he holds a mirror in front of you and asks if he 'left anything out of place,' and this is where you create and customize the look of your character.Soon after, Mitchell shows you to the Vit-O-Matic Vigor-Tester. After that he then asks you some word association questions. Once those are answered he shows you some Rorschach images and asks you to tell him the first thing that comes to your mind. After all of his tests are finished, he gives the player a couple items and a 3000 and sets you on your way.

Your objective in the game is centered around finding out the identity of the assailant and why the package you were carrying was so important. Siding with either one of the two major factions, and the, and settling their constant conflicts plays a crucial role in the story of Fallout: New Vegas. DevelopmentSometime in early 2009 was approached by to develop a title in the for them. The Obsidian higher-ups quickly agreed with Bethesda and work on the game was started shortly thereafter. During the Bethesda Softworks London event on April 20, 2009, the company announced the development of a new video game entry in the Fallout franchise, in development at Obsidian Entertainment. The men and women that are taking you to New VegasBack in 2003 when the original creator of, was shut down by due to financial troubles, the founder of Black Isle Studios, went on to create Obsidian Entertainment that same year with, and.Fallout: New Vegas was developed by many of the people that created the first and second Fallout games.

For example, was the lead designer and project directer of Fallout: New Vegas. He was previously the lead designer of ' ', the canceled first attempt to create a third Fallout game and, besides location, some story elements were also used from.Fallout: New Vegas is known by many employees at Obsidian as Van Buren's. New Vegas features many locations that were set to appear in Van Buren, such as the.Fallout: New Vegas uses the engine, the same engine that was featured in. Editing software, which is based off the Gamebryo engine, was used to create Fallout: New Vegas. New Vegas also re-used many assets from Fallout 3, such as models and textures. Fallout: New Vegas was released on October 19, 2010 in North America and October 22, 2010 in Europe, for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and the PC.

Gameplay V.A.T.S. Returns.Fallout: New Vegas plays identically to with some added improvements, including the following: customizable weapon attachments, such as extended clips and sights (all of which are reflected by the in game weapon model), specialty ammo, special attacks in VATS mode for all weapons (for example the 'fore' attack with the 9 iron, which is an upward swing at the target) and more dialogue options based on the players stats: explosives, bartering etc. A good example of this is when you're in Goodsprings you can use your explosives skill to convince to relinquish his dynamite stash to you. You can now aim using iron sights instead of just zooming the camera in. The third person view has been improved and the developer acknowledges that people wanted to play it as more of a shooter instead of relying on V.A.T.S. So the shooting mechanics have been improved to accommodate for this.

In Fallout 3, the level cap was level 20, then raised to 30 once the Broken Steel downloadable content was released. In Fallout: New Vegas the level cap is 30 right from the start and expands to a maximum of 50 with the DLCs. Perks are now earned every 2 levels instead of every level in Fallout 3 and every third level in.The character customization options are virtually the same as Fallout 3's. After Doc Mitchell brings you back from the desert and fixes you up he will ask you your name and then give you the Reflection. The Reflection is a mirror that will allow you to choose your race, facial options, and your age. After your character is to your liking Mitchell will escort you to the Vit-O-Matic Vigor-Tester, which will allow you to assign your S.P.E.C.I.A.L character points.

The game also introduces the companion wheel where you can give various commands to each of your companions such as how far they should be following you and their combat tactics. You can also tell them to use a if needed.Fallout 3 protected the lives of story-related characters by having them fall unconscious instead of dying. Obsidian has completely gotten rid of this (Note: there is only one adult of the 2200 NPCs in the game that cannot be killed though children are still unkillable). Now players can complete the game by killing all the NPCs featured in the game, or they can play the entire game as a pacifist. Bean bag ammunition for your guns and boxing gloves have a 'Fatigue' effect which will knock out a NPC rather then killing them, allowing the player to be a pacifist. Karma & ReputationThe system returns once again, but this time it isn't the primary way other characters perceive you.

The primary purpose of the karma system is to show how moral or immoral you are based on your total actions throughout the game. Having karmic extremes still carries consequence, though, as certain followers will refuse to join the Courier if they dislike the player's karmic alignment. In addition to the karma system, Fallout: New Vegas is re-introducing the reputation system featured in the original Fallout games. Raising your reputation in individual towns, settlements, and factions will give you special privileges with that town/settlement/faction. There's also a reputation meter that shows you how well liked or hated you are. Based on your actions there are several reputations in the game. Health & Item Degradation Killing an enemy with a melee weaponLike in Fallout 3, characters' limbs can become crippled after receiving too much damage.

Each limb will have a different effect when it's crippled. For example, a crippled leg will cause the character to move slowly while a crippled arm will decrease accuracy dramatically. Crippled limbs can be repaired using Stimpaks or a new item called a Doctor's Bag, which automatically heals all crippled limbs. In Hardcore mode, Stimpaks cannot be used for this purpose. Instead, players must find a doctor or use a Doctor's Bag. Unlike Fallout 3, consumable items like food and beverages heal over time instead of automatically.

The same chems from Fallout 3 are in Fallout: New Vegas including some new ones. They are all just as addictive.Item degradation returns as well. Equipment including clothing/armor and weapons will wear out over time and become less effective. Items can be repaired using parts from another item of the same type or by paying someone who is capable of fixing items (this generally costs a lot of caps depending on the item and the amount of wear the item has).Finally, radiation is once again something that can affect the player if they aren't careful. Some places have life-threatening amounts of radiation such as, a town that is practically drowning in it.

Minigames Lockpicking is the same as it was in Fallout 3Lockpicking and computer hacking are frequent occurrences in Fallout: New Vegas, and a minigame is present for each. Lockpicking is done with a screw driver (something that the player has with them at all times) and bobby pins. The player must rotate the bobby pin to a certain position in the lock and apply torque with the screw driver. Too much torque in the wrong area will cause the bobby pin to snap. The Lockpick skill dictates the difficulty level of locks that the player can attempt to pick.Hacking computers is a longer and more challenging process. The screen comes up with a list of jumbled characters containing possible passwords.

Fallout New Vegas Karma Ranks

By guessing a password, the player is shown how many letters of the guessed word are in their correct positions in the password the terminal is actually looking for. This allows the player to narrow down future choices. If the player uses up their limited supply of guesses, they are locked out of the computer. The Science skill dictates what computers the player can hack.

FactionsThere are several major factions in the game that have an important impact on the plot, the player will have an option to either, side with, attack or remain neutral with any given faction. Major Factions. The New California Republic, is possibly the last form of an organized government.
