  • Fallout wouldn't be the same without its soulless characters, and Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas hinted at who the worst of the worst are by assigning them Very Evil Karma. Lets go through these 14 NPCs and rank them to see who the number one worst person is.

      Well to some, it can be seen as a right and just action, someone who is in favor of an independent new Vegas, or someone in favor of house’s new Vegas may see it a way to help move forward, past the need for a leader that controls all, while one that believes in either the legion or the NCR can see it as incredibly harmful and a huge tragic lost of life, so it really depends on how the person feels about either faction, which is why they probably didn’t want to assign a karma value to it.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. Burke is an ex-enclave member. Makes sense with all we know about him. He’s much cleaner and organized than other people in the wasteland, prefers to keep a low profile, and kills indiscriminately if the opportunity presents, all while staying out of harms way himself. That’s a lot of skills and capabilities for a random wastelander.
      He probably ditched the Enclave when he realized he could not rise through the ranks fast enough, got sick of grunt work, or figured he could live a cushier care-free life manipulating people outside the Enclave.
      Even more ominous, perhaps he was exiled from the Enclave for being too extreme. It could be as simple as his tolerance for ghouls, which the Enclave has a zero-tolerance policy towards, or Mr. Burke truly is psychotic, and not even the Enclave wants him.

      I'd say Mr. Burke is Chaotic Evil also since even though he makes it seem like the reason he wants Megaton destroyed is just for business, but when you do blow up Megaton he gets extremely excited (almost to a fetishistic extent) when you do it. Also, Tenpenny told him to at least let the people leave before he did it to which Burke just decides not to cause screw them. Tenpenny would be Neutral Evil since he just made an offhand comment, and did say "tell the people they should leave...but they ain't coming here unless they have the caps," but all in all still could really care less about the people there. Burke just wants to watch Megaton burn people and all.

    Saint James and Dermot deserve to be on the list, just below Cook Cook. These 2 always disturbed me more then Cook-Cook because while Cook-Cook is a monster he also makes NO effort to hide it. Dermot and Saint James were sociopaths that went under the radar and lived in Westside carefree just blending into society while everyone around them was oblivious to the horror they've done. They also preyed on families, children who were refugees and knowingly gave children to people that will inflict hell onto them.
    Dermot was the business man that just wanted caps and used the sadistic Saint James as a tool to help him kidnap refugees for the fiends, the guy was also very robotic about it. On the opposite end Saint James seemed like an unhinged weirdo lacky dult that's being held on a leash by Dermot, he also has molested underage girls just before giving them to Cook Cook and even kept one of their teddy bears so he can relive the moment. Imagine being a lost refugee in the mojave wasteland and being sold / given to a bunch of unhinged drug addicts, and imagine that your entire family met this fate all in front of each other.
    Maybe not the most evil technically on the list, but something about Dermot's ledger and reading him improving his slaver craft, and recording the horror the slaves went through and how Saint James says "You got his book? Dermot, this bitch got your book! She got your book!" makes me more uncomfortable / creeped out then anyone else in fallout.

    Videos like this always bring up a very interesting point about the economy of Good and Evil Karma in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I remember when I heard that in Future Imperfect, telling Butch about Amata being sensitive about her weight is one of the most evil things you can do in that game, equivalent to blowing up Megaton and infecting the Capital Wasteland with FEV all tied at -1000 Karma. Especially considering how easy it is to bolster your positive Karma through doing small Good deeds, it lends to the wasteland being more opportunistic. I can take Harold to a bonfire as long as I don't take a reward for saving someone, or when donating some scrap metal that I wasn't using anyway. Very strange and fascinating.

    Jamie's karma being very evil might not be a function of who he was or what he did, but in fact it might be a consequence of where he is. You see, there are many different types of karma, including group karma, family karma, and area karma. A person conducts the energy of their surroundings and, as such, they slowly attune to its native frequency or a harmonic thereof. The place in which you are born hold particular influence in this fashion, and this is believed to be a function of the completely untuned and unblemished state in which we are born. Beyond that, our karmic energy most resembles the places we spent the most time. Each place causes us to retune slightly to it's own current, unless we're cut off entirely from conducting energy (what's known as having clogged chakras). Anyways, this is how karma was explained to me once long ago, make of it what you will.

    Hi.

Also, people, or rather victims, in his stories are often not evil and without any malicious intent. But I suppose you will accumulate very bad karma if you grant access to horrors beyond imagination or understanding... even if all you do is read a wrong book :-D.
