Hi everyone, I'm currently doing a neutral playthrough for Fallout 3, my first, and I have a question in regards to the achievements. I have just come out of the 'Tranquility Lane' quest with my karma just above neutral, slightly good, but stole some things and got it down to neutral again. My question is, because my karma has been out of the neutral zone, will that prevent me from getting the 'Paradigm of Humanity' and 'True Mortal' achievements? I hit level 15 in Tranquility Lane by the way.

Well, that depends. If you hit 15 with good karma then you wont get the Neutral karma award. You have to be at that level with that exact karma level.

The XP for completing the previous story quest was what took me to level 15, and that is when you get into the simulatinon pod, thus taking effect before I've even done anything within the simulation, so I presume that I'm good to go? Thanks for the reply by the way.

EDIT: Just loaded up a save I made right before entering Tranquility Lane, went into it again and yes the XP does take me to level 15 neutral karma.
