Originally posted by:Karma in New Vegas is a relic from Fallout 3, it has no effect on gameplay except for a few isolated cases. The values are also bugged and, like you've seen, you gain or lose karma under ridiculous circumstances.

I'll just ignore Karma then:)That red font.is. a good indicator for when stuff you're considering taking in a non-hostile place belongs to someone:). Karma is easy to regain, but it does behave oddly in NV.

Not many people like the Brotherhood of Steel, but offing a couple members causes a karma loss. Likewise, fighting like 5 ghouls that are attacking anyways regains that karma right back. Other than the endings, I haven't found many uses for Karma and if you really need to boost it, fighting abominations or doing quests often raises it back up to where it was.Stealing things usually drops the value by only a couple points, and since Karma caps at +/- 1000, the loss is insignificant.
