Yeah, I'm going to start a new game and be a total jackassholewad. I'm really looking forward to being able to kill indiscriminately, and steal whatever I want....though strangely even as a good character I could pick pockets of just about anybody without repercussion. That's another gripe, but in a whole different league, and not really with fallout alone. I like the idea of being able to be good or bad or whatever, but the morality is sooo black and white, and also at the same time so daftly wrong. There isn't any real moral complexity to the situations or how you handle them, and everything is either "good" or "Bad". And you yourself are either "good" or "bad". I think it would be awesome to have a morally complex character. A racist murderer who would take a bullet for a child of any kind. A misogynistic woman beating town saving vigilante. Something that isn't just "good" or "bad" A little more gray with complexity and depth. And example of the simplicity and daftness of it's moral compass; I was doing a mission where a town was being terrorized by a group of bandits. They are stealing, murdering, destroying, the townspeople are terrified, can't leave their homes and expect to die in the next raid. So I track the bandit's to their hideout in an abandoned subway. A guy sits in a chair guarding the door to their lair. I walk up, talk to the guy politely, he tells me to fuck off, I offer to bribe him to get inside, he tells me to fuck off, I shoot him in the face with a shotgun and take his keys. I am now the bad guy. Why? I didn't antagonize him to the point of him trying to kill me. Now, every raping, murdering, pillaging bandit I kill in here gives me negative Karma and if I take any of their stuff I'm stealing, pick any locks I'm breaking an entering. Why? I didn't give the jack ass a fair chance to kill me first. If I had spent some time passive aggressively getting on his nerves until he pulled a gun on me, I would've been a hero. But since I took decisive action I am a bad guy. What the hell?
