Talk:Karma

Where is the missing picture?

In Fallout 3 you can give psycho to Pualie Cantelli( I think) and it will give you negative Karma, I am unsure to how much though. I would add it if I knew how much Karma it took so if anyone knows how to find out or they know the amount of Karma, please add it.

Fallout 3 Bad karma title bug

Ive discovered that when you lvl up to lvl 21 (with a plugin or via command, doesnt matter) the game crashes if you have bad karma. If you have good karma, you can lvl up normally with no crash. But the moment your karma becomes bad after lvl 21 the game crashes again. Just to let you ppl know why is the game crashing if you got the max lvl increased. Cheers, Sky

This is because the titles file doesn't cover levels 21+, and while positive/neutral karma just resets to default, negative karma tries to access something that doesn't exist, and your game goes boom. Better to just reset your level to 19 instead. --DarkJeff 16:15, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Scrap Metal Donations

When you give Walter scrap metal, you can choose to accept caps as payment, or refuse, with an altruistic statement. Now, I would assume doing the latter would give you more karma. Someone should look into the difference (I would but have it for XB360).

Not so much 'more' karma as 'karma', period. Selling him scrap nets no karma at all (Patched PC version). --DarkJeff 16:21, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Dirty Water Donations

Does donating Dirty Water give 50 karma like donating Purified Water? What would make sense is if it gave less karma Oh, and out of curiosity, is the guy you can donate dirty water to a random encounter? Because I think I ran into him outside Vault 106 on two different games, but he also disappeared on me, so yeah I don't know. NightChime 07:49, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I think you can only give the "beggars" Purified Water. On the Fallout 3 Quests page it says : A lot of Wastelanders need non-radiated water. Giving them this gives you positive Karma. Denying them water causes them to die at the next map change, even if they were given purified water before. 68.39.40.221

Beggars only accept purified water, (picky bastards!). Blahguy 08:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Megaton?

What about nuking or saving Megaton? Would be useful to know what karma they give.

I believe the strategy guide says that you lose all your Karma down to -1000 for nuking Megaton.--TheUsedVersion 10:28, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Most likely the large karma loss is because of not only destroying the town,but by killing all the residents *except moira and possibly jericho* and the children aswell,so thats why its a large karma loss Werewolfhell 19:55, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

The first thing i would probably want to do is kill Moira! 71.32.123.68 21:14, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Uh, yeah - I think that completely obliterating an entire city simply because it's "an eyesore on the horizon" is asking for pretty heavy karma!--206.72.84.130 20:20, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Betrayer

I noticed that in the loading screen in fallout 3, it sometimes shows a drawing of Vault Boy's 'pal' sitting in a chair. There is a picture of Vault Boy that is signed 'My Pal' behind him, in a frame. Is this the same person in the picture of the Betrayer title that Vault Boy is Stepping on? 71.32.123.68 21:12, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

well you would be a betrayer if you promised to save a town from an atom bomb then subsequently blow it up for nothing but some caps and a suite in the "stuck up B*******" tower

Which is better?

So which one offers the most benefits?So far I think EVIL is best!I love enslaving children,overthrowing hotels and nuking the crap out of people.But I want to know which one is seriously the better.Consequences,benefits...Thoughts? HuangLee 04:00, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
