Getting Good Karma


 * There are a number of general ways to attain good karma, such as being nice to people in dialogue, killing "evil" characters, releasing slaves, etc. In this guide these forms of attaining positive Karma will not be discussed as they are most often random encounters. It will instead focus on attaining positive karma through reliable, (often) repeatable ways.


 * Give Walter of Megaton Scrap Metal and refuse payment. He will complement your kindness and you will recieve positive Karma, but no caps.
 * Note that this cannot be done if you choose to blow up Megaton, as Walter will, of course, die.
 * Also, note that Scrap Metal can be bought from Tinker Joe who is found near Lucky's, which is south and slightly to the west of Tenpenny Tower.


 * Killing any member (excluding the slaves) of Paradise Falls.
 * Keep in mind there are ~10 of them and will become hostile if you do so and attract attention. It may be possible to kill them without raising hostility using the Silenced 10mm Pistol.


 * Killing any Enclave Soldier
 * Again, keep in mind that others around will turn hostile if you do this.


 * Purified Water can be given to Micky outside Megaton, Carlos outside of Rivet City, or Willy in front of Tenpenny Tower in exchange for positive Karma; this introduces the possibility of infinite Good Karma, as none will ever stop asking for more water.
