Another way to deal with reputation is to have two types: A General Reputation which reflects what the world in general thinks about your PCs and a Town Reputation which mirrors how a given town in your world views your characters.

These town reputations would differ from town to town since some side quests the PCs may go on may be only directly relevant to the town at hand and have no global or regional significance. Divvied up in this way, it is very possible to have a scenario in which one town may hate your guts whereas in another your PCs are beloved.

The Fallouts (particularly 2, IIRC) which undoubtedly inspired many gameplay and character creation elements in the Avernum series, approached reputations in this way more or less.

Not particularly true. Avernum is based off of Exile, which was around 2 years before Fallout. (Avernum, for instance, adds precious few stats that weren't actually in Exile. It also uses a system which works in 5% increments ala D&D, whereas Fallout works in 1% increments ala Rolemaster.)

I have never been shy about saying that Fallout was a big influence on me. It strongly influenced both Avernum and Geneforge.

Man, I hope Fallout 3 actually becomes reality.

Jeff, same here. Same here. I haven't been keeping up with the latest on FO3 but from what I know it is still a go.

I am not counting Bethesda out as some are.. I am genuinely interested in what their final product will be like.

Another game I would desperately love to see is another Planescape game.. Or something else as brilliant.
