Hi everyone,

Just started FNV...

Finished GoodSprings

I made my way to Primm but decided to make a detour to check out the NCRCF (Prison) first.

When I get to the NCRCF main gate, the prisoners start shooting at me.

I kill a man named Dawes and a get a key into the prison compound.

When I get to the door, I get the RED text rollover to use the key to unlock the door...

I thought RED text means "bad karma" and if you are playing a "good" character you shouldn't do it.

(ie, don't steal red things or hack red terminals, etc.)

I AM trying to keep my character as "good" as possible.

Is this a big deal if I do it? ( I don't want any bad karma)

What if I do it multiple times (steal lots of red stuff, etc.?)

Since I am already vilified by the Powder Gangers, why should it matter if I perform "red" actions (for instance, at the prison) when it comes to them?

Any answers?

Thanks,

Srey

I don't believe that in this instance just going through the door. would lower karma (can't recall exactly). Keep in mind the red text also indicates an action that the local faction will react negatively against (i.e. stealing) in this game.

Dont worry about Karma. In a world full of [censored] & murder where people get hung on crosses and burnt alive stealing is not that big of a deal. Just make sure the townsfolk dont see you else you will be attacked. Steal and hack terminals whilst hidden.
What is more important is Reputation with the factions. Now youre vilified by the powder gangers and because they are bad people you will get good karma for everyone of them you kill. So breaking into the place shouldn't give you bad karma.
If you lockpick it and its red maybe it does I cant remember I really take no notice of karma anymore. I know if you lockpick The Prospectors door in Goodsprings that leads to the little backroom office that does give you negative karma. But if you have the key it shouldn't. Just be careful when you walk in there.
