Reputation
The reputation replaces the usual Fallout 2 karma. It reflects all the choices you make during the game with your character. Each reputation belongs to a community, which means there is no "global" reputation but only specific ones; for example joining the slavers will increase your Den's reputation but decrease the Brotherhood of Steel's one.
To check your reputation just go in your character open and check the Karma tab.
