Karma (Fallout 2)

Karma in Fallout 2 is the reflection of choices made during games and how they are perceived by the inhabitants of the wasteland.

Background
Joining the reputation game mechanic, Karma is measured in points. Classified by three types, good, neutral, and evil, the player character always start a new game with 0 Karma points, which is considered neutral. Wasteland inhabitants will behave differently toward the player character depending upon Karma, and it serves as a factor in unlocking certain dialogue options and game endings. Wanted posters with the player characters name on them will also be put up across numerous locations if they have evil Karma.
