Reputation resetting.

Post » Sun Jan 17, 2010 5:53 am

I just noticed that after trying on one of the NCR uniforms that all my faction reputations are reset to neutral, the only ones that are still intact are my Novac and Goodsprings rep.

i was high with NCR too :( working as intended?

I think its cause you're disguising as a member of the NCR, and your rep changes when wearing faction armour.

Hmm, i just tried it with the Great Khan armour i have and it stayed the same. gonna go find a different NCR armour to see if it's just this one type that's causing it.

Good luck. I put on the Powder Gang gear to sneak into Primm and got shot up till I took it off. Didn't notice any change to the rep.

Well after a couple of tests, all variants of the NCR armour, and the Powderganger armour reset my rep to neutral. still not sure if this is intentional or not.

But the whole system seems crazy, becoming vilified by the Powdergangers by killing 2 of their members, and NCR are still talking to me like i'm their star recruit.

i think something is wrong with the reputation system because it says im accepted but when i walk into a ncr camp they instantly start shooting at me! i cant even go turn in any of my quests or to the strip to talk to the ncr ambassador i hope this gets fixed right or at least have a way to reset it all to neutral.

Is there a way to improve Rep outside of doing missions/quests for that faction? i know killing members and stealing lowers it, but how do we raise it? killing their enemies?

How can you do that when they hate you? If you go near them they will kill you and laugh. :)

Kill a member of their faction, steal their armor, avoid high level guards/dogs (they see through disguises) and you will be neutral with said faction. If you're wearing non-faction armor, then your true faction listings will show up on your pipboy.

Yeah, it's a bit weird. They should make it so wearing the armor of a faction that accepts you doesn't disguise you. I was scratching my head when NCR Troopers were saying "Civilians aren't allowed here" and "Are you lost" despite being listed as Accepted and saying "I'm in the NCR. Anything I can do to help?" just one moment ago.
Maybe in a patch. We can only hope.

Aha! you're right, my rep went back after taking the armour off! so this can be filed under "working as intended"

Is there an issue with gaining reputation when disguised? I got an NCR armor before doing any quests for them, now I'm in Vegas after doing a load of quests for them on the way, the different camps and ranger stations, took back Nelson, helped out other ways and I'm still at Neutral. Is it because I've been wearing their armour all the time so I wasn't credited rep?

That is because bandits which took over Primm are breakaway Powder Gangers. They don't even wear PG outfits.

The faction armor scripts save your reputation from before you put on the armor, resets them for the purposes of wearing the armor, and restore the previous amounts after you take the armor off. So anything you do with the armor on isn't saved after you take the armor off. They definitely need to be reworked. I just not sure how.

that's not that bad though. it's kinda like the gray fox hood. i wish i would've thought about this before i made so many enemies. that way i could've just worn some NCR gear, killed my fair share of powder gangers, great khans, and legionares without any bad rep with them. i mean, everybody already hates the NCR already anyway!

@ Axle Starweilder

Problem with that is, the reputation is still built with the other factions, just not the one you have a disguise for. Best that I can tell. (From my problem described above and BubbaBrown's statement) So if you equip NCR armour, kill a load of Legion, it will still make you vilified by the Legion but you won't get any rep from doing quests for the NCR. Total bummer. I've just had to restart after 19 hours playtime. :(
