Well I have made some questionable decisions and taking a major hit of karma, such as letting Ferals take T.T., helping slavers and brutaly murdering the Family( I love the schiscabob). I want fawkes as a companion.

Am I beyond Redemption?

You can always donate tons of caps to a church; Megaton's or if you blew that up, Rivet City's chruch. Free wasteland captives and such as well.

You could also give clean water to the guys outside Megaton, TT, and Rivet City, that get's you good karma too.

The karma system works basically on points, -1000 equals very bad, 1000 equals good, if your very evil donate 2000 caps to Rivet City Church and you'll be very good, ironic I think that good karma can be bought whereas you have to work to be evil. :tongue:

Yes, you can redeem yourself. All you need is caps, or purified water. And even if you're at Very Evil, you only need 1250 points of karma.

You're given the schematics for the Shiskabob if you're nice to them and help them out, there's no need to murder them for it.
