Color Me Evil

Color Me Evil ================================

New 2. 1: A complete revamp of the Karma system, minor change to good karma gains for balance.

Description: ============

"You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil. You're the margarine of evil. You're the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie, not evil enough."

Yea, that is how I felt playing New Vegas. No matter how hard I tried, it was just toooooo easy to be a Good Karma character. I even tried to be evil! However, with the amount of ways to get Good Karma, I found it impossible. I even took the Cannibal perks, but that didn't even help. I feasted on hundreds of people and it didn't seem to make a bit of difference to anyone. I shot innocent people and didn't even receive any kind of karma hit. Apparently New Vegas was geared to make me a "Saint of the Wasteland". It was really annoying - especially when one of my playthroughs will be with the Legion.

Here is what this mod does.

Some basics first: +250 karma is Good, +750 Karma is Very good, -250 karma is Evil, -750 Karma is very evil. -1000 and +1000 are the maxes. These levels of Karma are defaults in the game and left unchanged.

New in 2. 1: I added back in the ability to gain good karma by killing Evil and Very Evil NPCs. You get +15 karma for Evil, and +30 Karma for killing Very Evil. I did this for balance, as it is very easy to stay Evil under the current system if you wish, but still a bit too hard to remain Neutral or Good.

NEW in 2. 0: A complete revamp. Every single NPC has been visited in the Geck and their alignment changed accordingly to make more sense. I ASSUMED that their alignments already made sense, but then it was pointed out to me how they didn't and Obsidian missed the mark.

• All Legion are Evil (about 70% were neutral)
• - All Thugs (Westside are Freeside) are Evil now
• - All of the Scorpion Gang and the Fiends are Evil now
• - Viper Gang was already evil, but found a couple listed as Neutral - fixed that.
• - Khans remain Neutral

a) You would get massive Good Karma for killing Evil people. +100 karma each! Just kill a few Fiends, and BAM! You're a Saint! A Paragon of Goodness! I toned down the amount of Karma you get for killing Evil and Very Evil people. You get +15 and +30 respectively. Even though you are murdering them, people don't care - they are evil people with probably a bounty on their heads.

b) You wouldn't take a Karma hit for killing Neutral people. None. Which is about 75% of the people/townfolk/NCR in the game. So go on a rampage in Primm, Freeside, etc, and you could still be a Saint, the blood of innocents soaked into your clothes. A murderer of innocent townsfolks not being evil? This didn't make any sense. You now take a -25 karma hit f
