Reputation is the moral system in Weird West, and it affects which companions can be recruited, prices in stores, and how the populace generally perceives the main characters.[1] If reputation is too low, a Bounty will be posted on the protagonists' heads, and bounty hunters will start to show up and hunt them down. It is, however, possible to pay off the bounties at the sheriff's offices. The lower the reputation, the more expensive it is to pay off bounties.
