Your karma choice?

Talon company couldn't take out one Lone Wanderer with 3 men...the brotherhood of steel would walk all over them.

Brotherhood couldnt take out one Albino Radscorpion. Fallout 3's combat was EXTREMELY biased towards the player.

True, but neither could Talon company. And if Fallout 3 had been a little more balanced then the Brotherhood would probably be able to wipe the floor with just about any enemy in the game, so sad that they got nerfed like they did for no good reason.

Talon Company was the hardest humanoid after Overlord, Hillfolk, Tribals and Hellfire Troopers to me. :mellow:

Mostly because they had good guns, they had the same weapons as the BoS, and usually came more varied with squad members complementing eachother, melee and shotgunner move in close while another pins you down with an assault rifle.

Lmao. Talon Company was sooooo weak. I saw that Sam Warrick Dude, kill a 3 man team after Lone Wanderer. They can't take out Sam Warrick, they can't take out a Brotherhood Recruit.

I'm always Very Evil the Demon of the Wastes, lol. I steal a lot of things, well all things basically. As soon as the marker turns to hidden i'm taking it. In order not to lose some of my companions in conversations I have to kill lots fiends, ghouls, powder gangs from a long distance, which I don't mind. In new vegas it was done better than in Fallout 3 where all you had to do was give purified water to the guy in front of Megaton or the Big Boat place(forgot the name).

Sadly, the Karma meter cannot possibly monitor your motives. Did you kill that fiend because you want to make the wastes a safer place? Good karma. Or did you kill him to steal his drugs and guns?

How about the Coyotes roaming around, especially the ones with pups? Even though they show red on your radar, they actually won't attack unless you get close. Even then they'll just growl first. If you kill tem, did you kill them because you were hungry and needed the meat? Or because you were hungry for XP? Or because you're an evil jerk who kick puppies for fun? No karma loss, regardless.

How about killing someone in cold blood (no karma loss) loot their dead body (no karma loss) and take the piece of scrap metal they used to own, back when they still had a head (negative karma, YOU EVIL JERK)

When the game can figure all that out, the Karma meter will mean something. As it stands, I'm almost always in good karma, by doing simple quests and playing normally. I tried to make an evil character once, and I had to get the cannibal perk, just so I could keep the karma down.

Karma? I don't play with that in mind, since as others have mentioned, it doesn't mean much in this game. However, I don't steal that many things. Only items that I really want, are unique, or for quests. I don't just run around stealing everything that isn't nailed down. Not my style...also, I don't need it/most of it is junk I don't want to carry. Killing NPC's...not many for quests that gives bad karma even when I do kill them, so not much there either. I don't kill non-hostiles willy-nilly, so I guess you'd say I play "good" in that regard.

I tend to get some bad karma here and there, but I also kill a lot of Fiends because I like killing Fiends (personal amusemant), so I always end up Super Saintly no matter what I do anyway. :)

Despite joing in the Legion, I suprisingly have good karma. Must be because of all the "good" I've done before I joined the Legion.
