📋 About This Mod
Description:
An ongoing project to add more push and pull to Karma/Reputation stats through new rewards/penalties to certain quests, dialogue, and player actions.
These are primarily to my taste and I will push updates as I come across more events that could use a judge-y vibe.
Events are executed via dialogue event handlers, and are configurable via ini file
Changes as of (November, 2024):
-
[]Robbing graves rewards negative karma and negative reputation for the appropriate settlement (Goodsprings, Novac), and Arcade will respond negatively to grave robbing
[
]Dialogue choice to Boone at the end of his quest rewards either negative or positive karma[]Donating medical supplies to Julie Farkas rewards some Karma (disabled by default)
[]Donating scrap metal to Jack at Nellis AFB rewards some Karma
[]Negotiating a truce between NCR and the Kings nets a minor Freeside Rep penalty, reflecting the uncertain and frustrated dialogue you hear from locals
[]Blackmailing Troike into setting the thermite nets a Karma penalty
- Drinking Alcohol rewards negative karma, is also tracked a new misc stat, "Alcohol Consumed" (disabled by default)
Karma and Reputation Events is a small mod that expands the Reputation/Karma system by adding rewards and penalties to dialogue and quest choices that previously had none. With 56 endorsements and 93,107 downloads, it's a niche addition for players who want more consequence from their decisions.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny mod with a big punch—93k downloads show people want more depth from their choices.
- Simple concept: makes your dialogue and quest decisions actually matter in the Karma/Reputation system.
- Lightweight and focused—doesn't overhaul the whole game, just adds consequences where they were missing.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 56 endorsements—might be a niche appeal or not widely tested.
- Last updated in November 2024—could be outdated if the game has had patches since then.
For players who love role-playing and want their choices to have tangible consequences beyond the main story. If you're tired of dialogue options that feel hollow, this mod adds weight to your decisions. Skip if you prefer gameplay over narrative depth or if you're not into Karma/Reputation systems.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a script extender or other framework—if so, install that first.
- Load order matters: place this mod after any mods that alter dialogue or quests to avoid conflicts.
- Test early in the game to see if the new Karma/Reputation events trigger as expected.
