niceguy2810 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 So i was "mixed" with the NCR and just recently got a NCR veteran ranger armor. I equipped it and when i looked at my reputation to the NCR it was "Neutral". When unequipped the armor it was "unpredictable"? Then i equip the armor and im "Neutral" again. Help?!

drakeelvin Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) When you wear faction armor it temporarily changes your reputation with that faction. It's only for as long as you wear the armor. And it does not alter or prevent "permanent" reputation changes if you do good or bad deeds, even when wearing the armor. There definitely is a glitch in faction reputation in 1.4 though: I recently completed the Legion quest and I decided to be as bad as bad can be against the NCR to the point where we had shootouts with them on the Vegas Strip, and everyone at the 188 attacked us, etc... But through the game a number of times I got messages saying, "Now that you're bad and the NCR knows it, you are disliked/hated/vilified." And I'm like, wtf? I know I'm vilified tell me something new! Definitely glitches in reputation tracking. Edited July 17, 2011 by drakeelvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkiev Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Sorry if this isn't exactly related to the original Q, but there does seem to be some faction weirdness post-1.4. I'm vilified by the Legion (what else is new) and was lovin' the random assassination squads. But, for awhile now, they've been showing up as friendly markers on my pipboy. I can engage the first one in dialogue to get some variation of "I'm gonna kill you now" and then his marker turns red and we fight it out. But his 3 backup guys stay friendly (they're usually hidden from the 1st fight) and I can go up to them and engage 'em in dialogue. They hurl the odd insult sometimes, but that's about it. I have to fire the first shot to get 'em to fight. I haven't dealt with Benny at the Tops yet (I have been inside, but I haven't talked to him), so I haven't got to the point of getting the Mark of Caesar.

drakeelvin Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Yes, I had that too. My Legion speedgame was my first full game since 1.4 arrived and quite often after I'd been vilified by NCR they sometimes showed up as white blips on my radar and non hostile, then out of the blue I'd get yet another message about being vilified (again, as if I wasn't already) after I'd take advantage of the non-hostiles and walk into the crowd of troops and open fire with a big machine gun. Now several times I did use that Ranger Combat armor for a disguise and it definitely worked properly, I was able to waltz around McCarran and even hit on Betsy, and I never had hostiles. But it was inconsistent ... I'm sure there have been changes in 1.4 that logically are not keeping track of where you are really at with your factions. What bothers me is I'm working on a quest where the player will have to keep their NCR and Legion reputations in the correct range, and I really hope this doesn't screw it up for the player.
