Walkthrough - General advices inFAMOUS Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Karma
Karma decides who you really are. During the game, you will have to choose between good and evil a dozen of times - between loyalty and dreams of might. Your choices aren't just limited to pressing a button. Their type is strictly connected to the gameplay and the powers that you will be able to use. Of course the citizens of Empire City will react differently, depending on who you are - there's quite a difference between a hero and a villain. All aspects of the moral choices will be explained during the tutorial and the powers are described in the menu which you use to buy them for the experience points gained. Thanks to this approach, you will probably want to finish the game twice: as a hero and as a bandit. It will allow you not only to hear several different dialogues, but also to collect more Trophies.
