Remember the karma systems fromFallout 3andNew Vegas? Sadly,Fallout 4didn’t have this feature, as Bethesda seemed to want to reduce actual role-playing, favoring quite a heavy lean towards action. Luckily, a modder has come to the rescue for those who miss what it was like to be hated or loved in an RPG.
Over onNexus Mods, user bp42s has brought Karma back to the wasteland, by implementing the missed feature into the fourthFalloutgame. As the creator says: “Karma is back!”
The mod takes its cues from the likes ofNew VegasandF3, doling out praise and punishment behind the scenes, depending on your actions. Now, when you play as the Sole Survivor, what you do will shape how others respond and react to you, like your decisions actually meant something. Remember that?
What about when the update comes out?
All this talk ofFallout 4mods may leave some of you feeling a little wary about trying out new ones.Nexus Mods has been struggling to coperecently as servers have been getting overloaded with people looking forFalloutcontent. Then there’s thenext-gen updatethat’s coming this week, which is likely to break or mess up a lot of custom modifications.
However, according to bp42s, their karma mod should be absolutely fine to cope with the big patch once Bethesda sends it out, “regardless of the version you’ll be playing on.”
They also say they’ve spent “quite a while rebuilding it from scratch to have less hard dependencies” on additional downloads. It is still recommended to have a few other mods installed beforehand, but you should be good to go.
