What is your favorite karma and why?

Good karma. Bad karma makes me feel like a sack of s*** whenever I play like that, and Neutral is just horrible to maintain. Those are my reasons.

In Fallout 3 I have good karma, and do good things.
Only way to get the good followers, like Fawks.

In New Vegas I have good karma, but work for Caesar and kill whoever I want. I just make up for it by killing ghouls and giving all my s**t chems to the Followers.

I like both good and bad karma; they each have pros and cons.
Good karma makes you feel nice about yourself and there are lots of things that you can do only if you have good karma.
Bad karma = loaded. Guns, ammo, caps... everything. Lol. But then again, you feel shitty and kill lots of helpful people (if you play like me. D; )
But I struggle like hell with having what I need on good karma. Neutral seems like a good balance, but it's more challenging to maintain that s**t.

I understand the appeal for Bad Karma, since it allows you to do whatever you want such as kick puppies but I'm too much of a goody two-shoes and feel like an a** whenever my karma lowers down. >8I I play as someone with Good Karma, since the majority of the speech options for that karma seem to follow my beliefs. I also like how a few of the people you encounter will give you free supplies or restock because of your postive vibe too!

Neutral in my opinion is a tricky alignment to stay in, so I don't know whether it's fun or not.

Neutral is fun for the fact of having a challenge.

I found keeping Neutral more entertaining than being Evil. But come on. It took so little to turn you good or evil. It was kind of annoying.

I agree about the taking so little. And it was hard to gain XP because pretty much all of the "main" or large XP quests were strictly one karma or another. (cough, cough, ******** MEGATON.)
So when it came to doing those quests, I'd choose the "good karma option" and then make up the bad karma.

You won't believe how many times I "fell off the karma wagon" during my Neutral play-through. I especially hated it when I hit an "Achievement Level" and I had just recently gotten just enough/ lost enough karma to change my karma. It was annoying, but I actually had a decent amount of fun with it, unlike my Evil play-through where I killed literally everyone I met and blew up Megaton like a dumb.

With Bad Karma you might get good s**t but then more people will turn hostile and you will get attacked way more often causing you to lose ammo, Good Karma however the only thing you have to worry about related to Karma is Talon Company. Not only that but you get some good companions and might be rewarded with weapons and more. Neutral is just horrible because you don't gain anything from it and it WILL make the game a little harder to survive depending on the difficulty.
