The problem is that people don't treat you differently for being evil. Yeah, you might have hitsquads coming after you, maybe a companion or two won't follow you. But the same happens to good characters. There's absolutely no weight to your actions. You can literally slaughter half the wasteland in broad daylight and people will still talk to you as if you're just a typical person. I always end up having evil karma because I steal everything not nailed down and yet I'm still considered a hero by everybody. It's only gotten worse in games like Fallout 4.

People don't treat you differently for any reason. Oh you're the Dragonborn, leader of three guilds, an obvious vampire, bedecked in legendary artifacts from a half-dozen Daedric lords, and savior of the Nords? I bet you don't spend much time in the Cloud District though.

Random hobo bandit, “Yeah, I can take him on”.

With starfield it's kinda hilarious. I made it a point to just be a murder hobo (get a mod that alters bounties so there needs to be a living witness) and choose all the obviously bad choices and yet random UC security will have their preset wild lines where they say "I hear you've been cleaning up bad guys out there, well done have some money." Lol

...like no? I'm the danger! I'm the one who knocks!
