Fallout – Can you get your own house

Confirmed, Brahmin tipping is in.

You can test for yourself at the Mojave Outpost, west of Nipton, Southwest of Primm.

Karma is almost non existent in the game. The only use I can see at this point is affecting which companions will follow you. For example, you cannot have Cass as a follower while you remain evil (Technically, you can because of a quest you need her for, but if you talk to her while you have evil karma she will tell you three times to get your act together before she runs off forever).

So long answer short, its strictly for companions as far as I can tell.
