User Guide

close to zero is neutral. It is possible to have a
really good reputation in a town, and have a really
low Karma (in this case, you are a stinker and no
one knows about you, yet.) It is also possible to
have a poor rep and good Karma (you do good things,
but no one has noticed.)
Your character can earn Special Reputations for
doing actions that are really spectacular, either
good or bad. Special Reputations will modify what
people think of you, and can give you additional
positive or negative modifiers.
Kills - This display simply shows the number of
critters (including humans) that you have slain in
battle, by critter type. If you kill a bunch of
rats, for example, you can refer to this card to
see just how many rats you have killed since you
started Fallout 2. While this does serve no real
purpose, since you gain experience points for each
kill and that is recorded in a different location,
it does serve as an excellent tool for bragging
rights.
Information Card
This card will update to show you more detailed
information about the currently selected statistic,
skill, perk, trait, karmic bobble, or anything else
that is selectable on the character screen.
It also has a cute picture depicting the chosen
characteristic in action. Sometimes, cute is not
the proper word to be used.
