The Karma rewards and values in NV are broken.
Having said that he reputation system works nicely.
REGARDLESS roleplaying an evil character that kills, steals, deceives and eats people only to become very good from killing insta hostile enemies like feral ghouls and fiends MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL!
It's actually really stupid that in order to keep my karma low I have to find a pre determined location to either kill people or steal JUST to be able to go to an area and kill the aforementioned enemies.
That or just sit back and do nothing while my companions do all the work, which is no fun!
Please Obsidian include a fix for the Karma system in the next patch.
Removing the invisible walls would be nice too!
It would really be appreciated!

P.S. I'm on 360 and don't have a gaming rig because I don't have the money, so PLEASE don't just come on here and tell me to use mods or the GECK.
That's literally like the most irritating response a console user can get.......

not a priority at all! haven't you noticed that pretty much nobody in the whole game cares about karma only rep!? there are mods to remove the pointless noise when you do something with negative karma. DEFINITELY not a priority for beth/obs to sort out. sorry

Karma fix, yes. Not that karma has an effect on anything from what I see.

Invisible walls no. Not because I like them, I think they are annoying, but I believe they were there due to AI navigation and script trigger issues and it was simply easier and quicker for them to put them there, rather than spend time with nav meshes and writting the scripts to allow you to do what you want.


That said, there are some weirdly place invisible walls, in places were you should be able to simply walk but can't.

I don't think Karma is broken. I think it's working exactly the way Obsidian intended it. If that's the case, a fix just isn't going to happen. Karma's like some vestigial internal organ left over from FO3 anyway; it has no bearing on the game. (Although I do admit I did tweak my settings in the Geck, because I just like the little 'devil' icon it gives me)

If you want to play a truly evil character, get yourself to the point where you're Hated by every faction and town. It'll make life very interesting for you.
