Reputation

The reputation replaces the usual Fallout 2 karma. It reflects all the choices you make during the game with your character. Each reputation belongs to a community, which means there is no "global" reputation but only specific ones ; joining the Slavers will increase your Den's reputation but decrease the Brotherhood of Steel's one.

To check your reputation just go in your character open and check the Karma tab.

Reputations affects

Those actions can influence your reputation, increasing it for some factions and decreasing it for others.

• Hurting or killing a critter (See below). It won't raise your reputation above 200.
• Joining an NPC-driven faction (NPC-Driven : Vault City citizen, Navarro, Raiders...).
• Joining the Slavers.
• Selling items at traders.
• Waiting. If your reputation with a faction is below -200, you gain +10 in this reputation each real-life day (But it won't go above -200 that way).

Reputation impact

If your reputation in a town or a faction reaches a certain amount - positive or negative - it will affect the actions of this community towards you.

Reputation	Marked as	Effect
1501 to ∞	Idolized	You can shoot people in a guarded town without being shot by guards, if your target's reputation is inferior to 901. (Liked and idolized people will still be protected by guards.)
901 to 1500	Liked	You are protected by guards if an idolized person is trying to kill you.
301 to 900	Accepted	No effect.
-300 to 300	Neutral	No effect : Neither liked nor hated.
-301 to -900	Antipathy	Caravans and patrols of the faction will attack you in the random encounters.
-901 to -1500	Hated	Caravans and patrols of the faction will attack you in the random encounters.
-1501 to -∞	Vilified	Shot on sight by town guards (if any), and members of the faction. Caravans and patrols of the faction will attack you in the random encounters.

Critters table

Killing a critter (in a random encounter, mostly) will affect your reputation, but it won't raise it above 0.

Each shot on a guard in a guarded town will decrease your reputation in that town by 250.
