Reputation

## Description

**Reputation** is a new game mechanic introduced in *Wasteland 3*. Whereas previous games largely relied on scripted interactions to determine how other factions viewed you, *Wasteland 3* instead tracks your reputation on a sliding scale, reflecting how other factions view you. The Rangers' standing with them is graded on a five step scale: Hated, Disliked, Neutral, Liked, and Loved, and the reputation has a direct impact on the story, quest resolutions, and even random encounters.
