My personal opinion is that karma and reputation/ factions when done right would make an better rpg experience like if you joined the brotherhood of steel in fallout 4 with saint karma elder maxson would send you on more humanitarian and recruiting jobs vs if you had evil karma he would send you on biological weapons testing and the like
For me personally i would like to see the return of how the system worked on fallout 2 with the reputation system with factions but karma acting more like a overall reputation even affecting your reputation with factions changing how they talk to you and how even how the treat u weather or not your reputation is high with them or not or making them more reluctant to do business with u if u have bad karma or more willing if its high or flipped in case your dealing with raider gangs or something
Karma to me was supposed to be an indicator of what your character is like "inside". The issue with a pure reputation system is that it only covers how factions see you outwardly; if you keep on good terms with them but become a serial killer, there is literally no downside to doing that because you enjoy the benefits of their support and can loot corpses with impunity. Karma is supposed to counteract that; as there's an actual metric that shows how wicked your character is, NPCs can now treat you with suspicion despite your high reputation, either from some sort of primal sense that you shouldn't be trusted, or from the fact that murders seem to happen where ever you go. You can see that with NV; you can still be idolized with the major factions, receive free gifts and still be a mass murdering cannibal. There is no real downside to being evil or upsides to being good, unlike in Fallout 2 where there were actual consequences. It was best done in 2, definitely not well handled in 3 and barely handled in NV.

Then you could find out what elder maxson was doing behind the scenes and have to make a choice
Honestly that actually sounds pretty sick. If karma was brought back, I'd want them to implement it like that. Thanks for Watching!

No shit, it's Bethesda. Every dumb thing in Fallout was done by them.
