Who is the worst of Fallout's Evil Karma NPCs? 

If the karma system existed in FO4, I think the only very evil character would be that a-hole gunner in greentech genetics with the missle launcher

I think the reason Jamie's Karma is set to Very Evil is so when you free him from his mental imprisonment you get Karma

The fact in cut content Driver Nephi tells you to stay away from Cook-Cook says something.

Just weird Clanden wasn't given such karma, his snuff tapes are on par with Cook-Cook.

I always forget about Cook-Cook because by the time I've ever met him in any playthrough, he was very easy to put down. Then, you hear what he did again, and it's obvious why he's the worst.

If evil is defined by the Karma system of the older series, I love the fact nuking ncr and ceaser both is considered ''neutral'' by the game 😂

Is strange when people like Caesar,Lanius,Salt-in-the-wound,St James,Clanden and other named enemies doesn't get very evil karma but a random ass fiend does

can we get "who is the biggest weirdo in fallout" which will be more subjective rather than objective

Real number 1: The NPC that corrupted my 50+ hour save of New Vegas

If the Enclave had let wastelanders join them, then I believe that Mr. Burke would indeed join them

I always assumed that Jaime having very evil karma is in the same way the feral ghouls having evil karma so when you kill them you gain karma like it's a mercy killing and you're putting both the feral ghouls and Jaime out of their misery

Vulpes: Lawful Evil Mr. Burke: Neutral Evil Cook-Cook: Chaotic Evil

Everyone knows that the REAL villain of the Mojave is Snuffles the Mole Rat: oh, he may SEEM harmless and cute, but his Intelligencee score is higher than CAESER'S! Everyone wants to know "Is the NCR the canon ending? Is Yes Man the canon ending?" But people who are paying attention know that, just after the Battle of Hoover Dam, the "victrious" army, bloodied and beaten from their war against the enemy, walk out of those gates only to be confronted by Snuffles' vast Mole Rat army, made up of every Mole Rat in the Mojave. No matter whether it was Caeser, the Courier or Mr House, when up against those odds, all they could do it close their eyes in acceptance of their fate...

My guess is that Jamie got corrupted by the Evil coming from the Obelisk and the great Old One of the Fallout universe, so his evil Karma could be explained that way or all of the evil Deeds he did in the Name of his evil God before the Player finds him.

if i remember correctly, the reason Ahzrukhal ordered for Greta and not Carol to be killed was so that he can then sell his chems to Carol. In his terminal you can read his description of Carol as being depressed after Gob’s departure and Greta was the reason preventing Ahzrukhal from approaching Carol.

It is not that the Lone Wanderer has plot armor, but it is that the player charcter is the avatar of a different higher power. Glory to Atom.

Saint James and Dermot deserve to be on the list, just below Cook Cook. These 2 always disturbed me more then Cook-Cook because while Cook-Cook is a monster he also makes NO effort to hide it. Dermot and Saint James were sociopaths that went under the radar and lived in Westside carefree just blending into society while everyone around them was oblivious to the horror they've done. They also preyed on families, children who were refugees and knowingly gave children to people that will inflict hell onto them. Dermot was the business man that just wanted caps and used the sadistic Saint James as a tool to help him kidnap refugees for the fiends, the guy was also very robotic about it. On the opposite end Saint James seemed like an unhinged weirdo lacky dult that's being held on a leash by Dermot, he also has molested underage girls just before giving them to Cook Cook and even kept one of their teddy bears so he can relive the moment. Imagine being a lost refugee in the mojave wasteland and being sold / given to a bunch of unhinged drug addicts, and imagine that your entire family met this fate all in front of each other. Maybe not the most evil technically on the list, but something about Dermot's ledger and reading him improving his slaver craft, and recording the horror the slaves went through and how Saint James says "You got his book? Dermot, this bitch got your book! She got your book!" makes me more uncomfortable / creeped out then anyone else in fallout.

It felt so good dusting every Slaver in Paradise Falls: every Slaver disintegrated is a blight on the wasteland purified. I also make it a personal goal to prevent Vulpes from leaving Nipton with his face unmelted: sometimes I'm just not strong enough to handle it, but it's never for a lack of effort. I almost forgot about Cook-Cook... And honestly, that's for the better. Someone who truly deserves to be dusted and forgotten.

you gave me a new perspective on Tenpenny, i really thought he order the destruction of megaton, because i never got that dialog in all my playthroughs.

The Karma associated with a quest I didn't understand was the Tenpenny Tower quest with the ghouls. I specifically went out of my way to find a peaceful solution so that ghouls and humans could live in peace...only to find two weeks later in game. That the ghouls murdered all the humans for no reason and were quite happy about it. I proceeded to kill all the ghouls who supported murdering the peaceful humans that were there...and I lost karma for some reason.

14) Typical Book of Vile Darkness Owner 13) Hypocrite "Oath" Taker 12) Too Dark for Their Own Lore 11) Like Terrible Father, Like Terrible Son 10) Make the Wasteland Great Again Ringleader 9) The Grotesque Gourmand 8) Unfortunately Spared from the Big Iron 7) The Giant Tool Wielding a Giant Tool 6) Madman Manager with a Taste for Man 5) Bartender as Ugly on the Inside as he is on the Outside 4) The Perverse Pernicious Pimp 3) Jack of All Tortures (A Real Sick Puppy) 2) The Wolf of Mean Street 1) Stay Away From Hard Drugs, Kids.

I feel sorry for Clover in fallout 3 so mentally broken by Eulogy that evil is all she will know says a lot more than words ever could about him.

Feels like Cutter and Pronto don't have the option to escape considering they wouldn't likely survive alone out in the Capital Wasteland. Especially with the deathclaws nearby. Also them turning hostile doesn't make sense it was probably an overlooked aspect. Leaving Paradise Falls empty felt like it was supposed to be resettled but again this was a first attempt at making their own Fallout game by Bethesda

Praise to ⚛️.

Loved this video RADKING. Love your intro as well.

I love how the programmers for Fallout New Vegas just *knew* that you'd kill Vulpes Inculta on your second playthrough and accounted for it. It's amazing how the game twists itself to seamlessly handle that.

Great video, amazing you can think of such unique videos for fallout even today

Great video as always Radking. Glory to Atom Maybe sometime in the future you could do a video on some of the most evil people in Fallout, judging by their actions, background, and motivation, rather than just karma

This video was amazing, please do more like this.

Preston has to be the absolute most undercover evil NPC. He represents never ending entropy and hopelessness. No matter what you do, ever...... He will haunt you with one more settlement needing help...

Another great video, my dude!

Excellent channel, just found you! Watched a chunk of your content the past few days. I really appreciate your thoughtful take on things. It means a lot to consume your content. I played new Vegas before I had kids. I love my kids, but I recognize my time playing games is now a previous time part of my life. Now I have no time to actually play. Listening to your content during breaks at work helps me experience Fallout 4/76 and remember 3/New Vegas. Thank you!

I off’d cook-cook with ease the first time, but then reloaded to try to spare him to no effect so I was forced to wipe him out, to later realize what he did to others was so dark/evil, which then eased my concerns on off’ing him. Later, after a big-game-reset, cook-cook on hard-mode became an actual problem to deal with.

I loved this video! Even while I’m playing I like to hear stuff like this!

4th time "watching" this video. I put this or some other videos made by you on and fall asleep instantly. You have a very soothing voice.

My favorite Fallout RU-vidr talking about my favorite quest in Fallout 3 I appreciate that so much, the Dunwich stuff and Point Lookout are so cool

Keep up the good work and I love your videos it makes me happy

I think you got the ranking right, given this list of people, but it's absolutely wild that the game doesn't have Caesar ranked Very Evil.

The Karma system; with all its flaws and inconsistencies, is still a favourite mechanic in the games. I really wish they brought it back for 4. Hopefully it will make a comeback for 5.(or any future installment for that matter.)

I didn’t realize off hand how many of the evil karma characters in Fallout 3 are motivated solely by caps.

Great one! Thanks 👍

I think for Cutter, the reason she wouldn't wanna leave could be, she understands the relationship she has with the slavers of Paradise Falls, and knew if she went out and was caught by other slavers, they wouldn't treat her as "nice" and probably killer her before she could showcase her medical skills.

Nice video! Will you do a “Most Neutral NPCs” video next 😅

Another quality upload to make my job fly by

Great vid, u should do a list of people with very good karma cause we need positive vibes in the wasteland

Videos like this always bring up a very interesting point about the economy of Good and Evil Karma in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I remember when I heard that in Future Imperfect, telling Butch about Amata being sensitive about her weight is one of the most evil things you can do in that game, equivalent to blowing up Megaton and infecting the Capital Wasteland with FEV all tied at -1000 Karma. Especially considering how easy it is to bolster your positive Karma through doing small Good deeds, it lends to the wasteland being more opportunistic. I can take Harold to a bonfire as long as I don't take a reward for saving someone, or when donating some scrap metal that I wasn't using anyway. Very strange and fascinating.

Great content

I always adored the mystery of Charon on a character he's just the middle person in others is conflicts

Great vid

Hi. Maybe someone else already mentioned it, but the first case of Jamie is most likely reference to H.P.Lovercraft's "The Dunwich Horror" with elements from other stories (mysterious book, compulsion to do something, corrupting obelisk). Also, people, or rather victims, in his stories are often not evil and without any malicious intent. But I suppose you will accumulate very bad karma if you grant access to horrors beyond imagination or understanding... even if all you do is read a wrong book :-D.

Azrukhal wanted Greta dead because she is Carol’s partner, and Carol had been depressed due to their adoptive son, Gob, leaving Underworld. He wanted Greta dead to make Carol more miserable and depressed to encourage Carol to use his alcohol and chems to make money off her suffering. Just making his evil even more depraved. He mentions this in his terminal behind the counter.

I always thought Karma was a weird thing for the Fallout series. Post-apocalypse settings are often pretty grey, with even good people having to make questionable decisions. Seems like the wrong setting for a concrete moral code like that. It'd be more at home in your Elder Scrolls games.

My money is on Cook-Cook

Well,that slavers den had apparently more lore,that i knew. Good job!!

Vulpes’ first line will alwyas haunt me 😮

Y'know with the amount of times I've played through new vegas you'd think I would have noticed the wild wasteland CSI reference induring the white glove questline. Almost 14 years old and I'm still learning new things about it

I’m actually surprised Dr. Braun isn’t here at all? Bro literally trapped 10 people and tortured and killed them over and over and over again for who knows how long.

Loved recruiting Charon from Azihdal, especially once you tell Charon that Azihdal is no longer his boss

I think Jotun hated the Slavers, but he had no where else to go, but stayed with his Dad because he cared for him, I’m thinking he hates the Slavers, because like it said, he attacks the slavers when his dad dies, not focusing on the Lone Wanderer, the killer of his dad

17:54 did anyone else need to do a mental double-take when he silently repeated “ultra-luxe”? That caught me so off-guard 😂

Nice video! Also something is like to see is a breakdown of all the known organizations and ranking them by power

"Sharp knife. Sharp knife to send him to deep temple. Flay and say my words. Abdul comes again, on the feast of the weaker. Feast for the Deep Temple. Born again, here. Alhazred G'yeth G'yeth."

I dont get why Roy Phillips from Fallout 3 isnt very evil karma

Jamie's karma being very evil might not be a function of who he was or what he did, but in fact it might be a consequence of where he is. You see, there are many different types of karma, including group karma, family karma, and area karma. A person conducts the energy of their surroundings and, as such, they slowly attune to its native frequency or a harmonic thereof. The place in which you are born hold particular influence in this fashion, and this is believed to be a function of the completely untuned and unblemished state in which we are born. Beyond that, our karmic energy most resembles the places we spent the most time. Each place causes us to retune slightly to it's own current, unless we're cut off entirely from conducting energy (what's known as having clogged chakras). Anyways, this is how karma was explained to me once long ago, make of it what you will.

Are we sure Tenpenny was after the power suit? I always assumed that he or Burke had hired the mercenaries to perhaps get the detonator and additional parts to set off the nuke in Megaton, given she sheer amount of the nukes found at the base.

The Jamie story line almost makes you think of a Daedric Prince from Elder Scrolls controlling him, the first instance for this world. I've heard theories about Fallout being in the past of Elderscrolls since Bethesda acquired them esp since Fallout 3 was the first 3D Fallout and it used the same engine as Oblivion.

I did play one psychopath run where I killed everything that could be killed. Except Cook-cook. Killed all his friends, but I did spare his cow. So in that world the only thing left is a man and his bovine.

Crimson and Clover is also a reference to the song of the same name by Tommy James and the Shondells.

Charon instantly killing Ahzrukhal is hilarious tbh

I feel like being a bored old man imo is even MORE evil. He doesn’t have a purpose to kill yet he just fires down on anything that moves from down there? There’s almost no way to convince him to do otherwise BECAUSE there’s 0 purpose for it. He just wants to do it. Idk, I feel like that makes him a lot worse than ya might think.

You do us all a great service my friend, thank you!

This is a great bounty list. Always have to take out those in the Mojave when I start a Vegas run.

What about a video going over the most evil characters in the wasteland by their deeds across all games big video but would be very cool

Would like a video of this on Fallout 1&2

I’d love an inverse of this where u do the best people in Fallout

33:08 this is hilarious to me. On my first playthrough of Fo3 I was first introduced to the IP of Fallout. I vividly remember the misery caused by that little turd and I was left with broken armor, weapons, and was drinking from any working faucet for health. The playthrough was extremely fun but I was stunted for the early game from the sheer loss I experienced from the fire ants. Needless to say I went out of my way to enslave him, took a picture of the dialogue screen, and my only regret is I didn’t find this out authentically

The wild thing is, Cook-cook probably doesn't even know he's literally the most evil person in the wasteland

I remember being like 13 and playing this for rhe first time and when i stumbled across paradise falls i felt legitimately aick to my stomach. Seeing a child with a bomb collar on and knowing there were actual slaves was something i wasn't expecting even in a world as screwed up as fallout. I went back to my megaton house where i kept my massive arsenal of guns and ammo and launched a full on assault on the place and nobody got out alive except the slaves.

I think you should do this but with very good npcs. I'd be just as interested as I was in this

I’ve always wondered where did you get the audio for you intro. 676 is all I understand 😂

The obelisk looks like it has the dark brotherhood symbolism! The five skulls from her kids… n her leaving to join sithis.

The way people mispronounce ane mistype Jaime's name is quite the torture as a spanish speaker ;; Anyways, good vid! I like these kinds of videos for the brief recaps on lore that I would've missed otherwise.

im fucking tired of patrolling the Mojave just give us FNV2 already

Cook-cook ain't got shyt on the Toaster from Old World Blues... 🔥 👿 🔥

i love Vulpes

That obelisk reminds me from hellriser movies

It would be interesting to do a video about evil characters that arent in Karma games. Then place them in a tier list with the others. You can thank me for that idea with a shoutout.

Thank you for noticing my radiance rad king. Praise be 🙏

Honestly i am glad you did not included the AntAgonizer. Tanya does not deserve to be associated with these degenerates.

It's obviously the traders at the 188 Stop 'n' Slop because they never have anything good for sale.

There’s not a single npc in this series that makes me mad like Vulpes Inculta. Burning towns, forcing people to watch as others die, engaging in war crimes and subterfuge, and worst of all, hiding behind the excuse of working under Caesar towards a “civilized” Mojave. A coward and a monster in every sense of the word.

Cook cook be doing his gooning but with his flamethrower

You should make another one of these except about characters with good karma

Berk is mentioned alot in this and he missed a huge opportunity to boost the town have them "owe" him and rake in profit. And have the other trade post.

Bro said Mister Burke was worse than Vulpes 😭😭

Carolina Red’s father probably cauterized his victims legs before going grugmode on their dome with a piece of granite. If I had to explain the hour long time frame of said torture.

never forget guys, oliver and sasuke from naruto are voiced by the same guy

Karma is a weird element to have in a post apocalyptic world LMFAO

Hancock would despise Ahzrukhal

Ngl, I 100% thought Stanislous Braun was going to be on this list somewhere for torturing people for 200 years straight. I guess he just wasn’t evil enough for Bethesda lol.
