Karma

Karma is the reflection of all good and evil choices you make during the game and how they are perceived by the inhabitants of the wasteland in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout Tactics.

Karma is, philosophically, the principle of cause and effect, with the effects of your actions but also your intentions that are take into account measured in point called "Karma points". The more an intention or action has a major impact, the more you gain or lose Karma points.

It is classified by three types: good, neutral, and evil. Players always start a new game with 0 karma points, a neutral Karma. People will behave differently toward you depending upon your karma, and it's also a factor to unlock certain dialogue options or able to do something specific.
