The new Fallout 4 mod brings back the karma but makes it good

The system of karma did not exist at all Fall 4, and while I admit it wasn’t for everyone in the previous games, I love how it combines with the faction traits in New Vegas to create a truly dynamic world that feels like it’s always satisfying your choices. If you’ve ever wondered what karma would look like in Commonwealth there’s a new mod just for you, and you can even adjust the system parameters yourself.

Uploaded by ‘bp42s’ A Fallout 4 mod called ‘Karma’ does exactly what you think it does: bring a moral system back to an RPG game. A new karma page on your Pip-Boy’s stats screen helps keep track of your actions and moral standing, and just like in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, bad actions like stealing or killing neutral NPCs will drop your karma, helping them people bring value up. So if you’ve wanted a solid karma system in Fallout 4, now’s your chance.

Now, the karma system doesn’t get much change as it’s black and white in the new Fallout games, but this mod allows you to choose what gives or removes karma, so you can adjust the mechanic to your liking. You can turn off getting karma from healing partners and demanding solutions for example, while group events can be divided between karmic gains, losses, or complete neutrality with your position. Maybe you want to avoid stealing or freezing? Well, you can disable karmic penalties for these actions individually as well.

There are even custom karma sounds, more level-based karma themes like in previous games, and custom Pip-Boy icons, so it should feel like a legitimate integration of the karma system that you can edit yourself.

The bp42s karma mod can be downloaded hereand they say that the next generation update for Fallout 4 shouldn’t affect the mod at all, but I’d still be careful.
