At least the developer said they’re working on a new system. Making the city more dynamic so there are more zois where our zois go in the world conflicted with the karma system, so I understand better now. I really wish the issue had been communicated to us. I never would’ve been so upset if I knew that they’re going to bring it back in some form, and that it had to change so the city feels more alive.
I hope we’ll be able to see and reward the karma of our played zois. I want to be able to win the lottery, have good health, or have more good luck when they reach either best or terrible karma status (depending on what you planned to do).
Currently, I don’t feel enough motivation for my zois to do good deeds if it can’t lead to a bonus in life. Of course, some of my zois are just very nice people, but there should still be an eventual reward for them naturally being like that. Likewise, the character I made to be a menace to society is one I’d like to reward with a lottery win when she gets to terrible karma.
