What about fame? In DD your karma basically acts like fame (such as when Blake will only give you the key to Nericons garden after you have a +14(?) reputation). Should karma really act like fame? I think karma should only effect which quests you can do, perhaps what guilds you can join, and perhaps what types of magical equipment you can wear (e.g. Divine Blade - +20 karma, Devils Blade - -20 karma). Fame would effect how many people want to give you quests/how many are avaliable.
