The Best Positive Karma Bonus in Fallout 3 

Becoming wasteland Jesus is my favourite activity

Fact mercy killing the dwellers in tranquility lane has such high points, makes me realise how screwed up that doctor was, he deserved to be left alone for eternity

The fact that sacrificing your life to save the wasteland is only a tiny bit better then winning a military campaign 🤣

I will never not be pissed that the game dissed me for sending a super mutant in to put in the code.

Me having 80k caps and the seeing the one church guy in megaton= instant max karma

Just give 100 bottles of water to a hobo to wash away your sins 😂

Max good karma: Help people, kill bad guys, disarm nukes Max bad karma: So I started blasting

You become so good, talon company let's themselves get killed by you. Them you take all their free gear to sell or use

Sadly that won’t get you a fancy suite, nor free access to the nice settlement Paradise Falls.

I know people think evil karma runs are more fun, but it is a personal fantasy of mine to kick the shit out of the bad guys.

Guess my good karma’s paying off.

For evil karma you just need a terminal that is locked and owned by somebody (so it is marked red). Them enter and leave it a bunch of times. For every time you loose a bit of karma

This video makes me want to go explore the Capital Wasteland again

Tranquility lane will always be one of my favorite moments in fallout. Triggering the failsafe is always fun to do

I just have a bag of severed fingers and then I’m good to go

I blew up the crawler, disarmed the bomb, and activated the failsafe and got very good in my playthrough without trying

Give purified water and donate to the church at the end of the game so you can go to heaven 😎

I just give all the water i get from my robot butler to the homeless guy outside of megaton

Good choices are the hardest to make, but the easiest to live with Bad choices are the easiest to make, but the hardest to live with

It's realistic in that becoming trusted and good is hard but becoming evil is easy.

I destroyed the enclave from the inside out by convincing their computer president to kill himself and everyone else in the base.

That’s how it is in life too, being good isn’t easy, but taking a darker path is as easy as stepping forward

In fallout 3 the hardest playthrough is maintaining neutral karma. Getting good karma is really easy because it comes in big swathes when you do get it, and getting bad karma requires a lot of specific effort. Like stealing is easy but you get like -2 karma per item. Enslaving someone is -100 karma but you can only do one person at a time then return to paradise falls. I did a quest where you free a bunch of slaves at the Lincoln monument then it brought me to good karma so I liked them all afterwards to go back to neutral. Lots of enslaving people in a neutral run.

Getting good karma is so easy in 3 that it makes the achievements for having neutral Karma really tough lol. It really makes you go "I've done my good deeds for the day, time go to steal to level things out!"

“How to easily become very good. Just beat the game”

Ruby and Aleksy: *Bring all the evil and very evil characters to the Citadel*

It's hard being good, but it's so easy to be... Naughty.

Games always make it much easier to be evil than good. I remember the Orignal Fable game used to give you positive Karma when you killed undead, and negative when you killed innocents. But in future games, they took away the undead thing

You can also repeatedly donate to the church of atom for 1 karma point per cap, and you can give 100 caps at a time. I had a mod that made it possible to be paid 1000 caps per slave and another mod to take 5 slaves at a time. Any negative karma could be overcome by donating.

Wiping Megaton off the map, and then doing a 360 to become Jesus afterward was a fun playthrough.

Does anyone else just get purified water and spam the beggers or just me

I really miss the karma system fallout. 3 is still my favorite fallout, and the karma system is a large reason why.

Fuck I’m literally exploring the dunwhichbbuilding with Charon and wondering why he’s freaking out. Dudes literally in a quivering pose half the time and frequently pulls out his default knife instead of his default shotgun. I’m leading him to his Death :(

I recently started playing Fallout 3 and to get the bad karma companions, there is a junkie in Rivet City that you can give about 10 Psycho for maximum bad karma, He then gets an overdose and dies, but the terminal thing took too long for me

kind of an analogy to real life 'its easier to go the other way than being kind'

Was very evil then after I didn't like the dialog I chose the perk where I'm very good , but still got scolded by dad about the bomb in megaton

Charging into Adam's Air Force base while blasting Renai Circulation sounds hilariously awesome

I always play as a good vault dweller in Fallout. I love role-playing as a hero.

I found trying to stay neutral the whole playthough to be a challenge

I genuinely found all of this easier than playing evil in any game.

It’s crazy how much fallout I played in my lifetime, and there’s shit I still haven’t done. Fuck I love these games. I have multiple characters in each game

I think it's interesting that it seems like 3 of these actions are from dlc

Basically the title of an archangel

I had no idea you could destroy the ghoul shrine! I just killed the ghouls and left each time.

One of the biggest things that can be easily done, to have a head start in becoming Very Good, in this game too is disarming the bomb in Megaton. It doesn’t require a high explosives skill, and you also get your own house to sleep and stash your stuff in that you can decorate. All not far from where you first surface from Vault 101 in the very beginning of the game, instead of going all the way to Tenpenny Tower. As a Fallout longtimer and pro now, I remember. Nostalgia! ❤️👌😎

I recently did my first real play through of fo3 and had exceptionally high karma until it came time to end purity, I didn’t realize the fev was the bad option and made everyone hate me

Удивительно что так легко карму опустить когда я просто старался нормально себя вести, и после того как я обезвредил бомбу, карма ниже высокой/очень высокой не падала. До того как обезвредил была всегда нейтральная.

Easiest way to become evil, enslave raiders. They have it coming anyway lol

When I fist played Fallout 3 I had trouble with the karma but with my recent one, I probably 2 bad karma at most now. It’s crazy how easy it is to stay good

*hears about failsafe for the first time in a short*

Or better than all that, give 1,284,764 bottles of purified water to the dude outside of megaton

It was literally impossible for me to get Escalator to Heaven when I played Fallout 3. The game capped the level at 20, so level 24 wasn't attainable.

Loved the karma system I hope they bring it back

"It is never too late to accept Jesus Christ in your heart" rick sanchez (giga Chad theme)

You can have very evil karma before you get out of the vault which I think is funny.

I actually did not know that there was a fail-safe in tranquility lane.

Rained out today. I think I’ll play some fallout 3, great vid

I mean, it’s usually easier to be a bad person than it is to be a good one.

Not every human becomes a ghoul, this implies an occult aspect

becoming evil is way easier, and dont get me wrong blowing a whole settlement up and becoming the pint sized slasher is the most awesome thing

People hate on fallout 3 but it’s such an immaculate game, it’s brought so much peace to my life

Good karma: Systematically eliminating the most evil people of the wastes Bad karma: GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAM

Or giving scrap metal to a mechanic in megaton, remember being super evil karma and gave him 40ish scrap and boom I'm very good karma. 😂😂😂😂

Actually the biggest karma boost you get in Fallout 3, is in Vault 101. Either helping Amata or making fun of Amata will grant you 10,000 good or bad points.

Or you can do it the somewhat easy way, donate to the church in Rivet City for good karma

You can do what in Dunwich building?

Or... giving a gajilion water bottles you get for free to the guy outside magaton. Turned me from Wasteland Satan to Wasteland Jesus in a jif.

To reach very evil just open moriartys terminal in his bar like you're gonna hack it but back out. Reopen, back out. Repeat till you hit very evil. Takes a few minutes.

*To be turned into a pile of ash by the Beta gauss rifle. * (And yes, I used console commands.)

I love Ten Penny Suites.. I guess I can still be a saint with the suite. 😂😂😂

I reached evil karma as a child by pickpocketing items and taking them back and replacing them

I went to paradise falls trying to look for quantum cola, and didn't know they were all slavers and i played along until i met eulogy jones and i killed him and freed their slaves. and I also got rid of tenpenny by convincing the people to let the ghouls in, I also convinced the computer to kill itself and the enclave This is my first time playing fallout and this shit is so cool

Where my neutral people at?

I haven't even made one of my old characters fully evil...who knows I might just change that.

You can also just donate caps to the children of atom in Megaton is an easy way to gain good karma

The most profitable way to it though is by taking the lawbringer perk and destroying as many raiders as possible.

Meanwhile in new vegas: Fiend farming go brrrrrrr

Funny, I remember hearing that it was hard to maintain Evil karma because main and side quests lean towards good, so you have to do a lot of petty puppy-kicking and stealing candy from babies (metaphorically speaking) to keep the evilness up.

What’s the opposite of the escalator? The treadmill to hell?

I'm accidentally a messiah in New Vegas.....how the fu-

I didn't get the point of blowing up the Mobile Base. Because if you didn't do a stealth build then you probably already murdered your way through the base and it should be mostly empty by that point.

I just realized, why didn't the Brotherhood want to control the Mobile Center? I mean sure, they were different from the original Brotherhood and helped everyone but they still wanted technology.

I just hoard copious amounts of water and scrap metal. Water I give to the beggars and scarp I give to the water treatment plant for free.

Of all the things Bethesda thought to expand on in fallout idk why they thought karma was it

Selling fingers is the easiest way too

Getting Very Good karma was really easy, but I wish I knew I coulda just killed Tenpenny to get a bunch of karma BEFORE the Head Of The State quest

It's also possible to go from very bad to very good karma in one playthrough.

As a person who enslaved raiders so he could pay for vault suit repairs I see my very evil karma rating as a warning to all evil doers mess around and find out I’m evilly good and I got no qualms with sending a raider to eulogy jones.

What about the dunwich building I’ve been in there always thought there should be something on it

I do think it's funny that you can just go to Tenpenny Tower and blow Allister Tenpenny's brains out and be a saint for it

So no matter what my karma pursuit I ALWAYS kill Mr. Burke just before he kills The Sheriff to get his silenced 10mm Pistol. It is beastly early game if you have a stealth build going on your way to constructing your first dart gun. Lol. I had NO clue about that effigy in the Dunwich Building because after playing this game for over a decade and a half I STILL have never ventured in to that hellish nightmare (too scared) lol.

Fallout 3 was the last true RPG Bethesda tried to make. Karma points really helped but unfortunately game critics viewed it as "bad writing" so game developers dumped it. I liked Karma cause it gave some purpose to the decisions I made and even gave me a title for my character along with a few perks and extra dialogue. Abandoned in Skyrim (Karma existed in Oblivion under fame and infamy) it was never used since. Thanks critics! (Though I don't think Starfield would've been a much better game if it had kept Karma. Fallout 3's story isn't the best but it was leagues better then that)

And if you're having issues gaining karma early game just give the guy water outside megaton / rivet city

Its easier to get Evil Karma but harder to maintain imo. Some of the more interesting choices in quests give high good karma. For example i didn't know activating the fail safe would reward so much good karma the first time i did it. It just just like the more interesting choice as opposed to fucking with the tranquility lane residents.

Or you can just spam pure water at the hobo outside megaton.

I'm playing a very evil playthrough right now and it's hard. Lol I'm naturally a very good karma player so it's like I'm fighting myself with each dialogue choice, etc.

Fails to mention that choosing to help amanda or not actually sets your karma to ether good or evil before leaving the vault depending on your choice.

I always end up with Max Good Karma at the end and never evil, just isn't my playstyle. Good and evil are easy to get but staying neutral is harder and sometimes requires planning

I just stole everything instead of battering and then did the good stuff in the quests. Balanced out ok as i ended up with "profiteer" karma which I mean, fair enough.

Give purified water to all those who beg you for it & you will receive positive karma every time 😇
