SERIOUSLY, GAME? One kill = Shunned. Two kills = Vilified. The negative reputation gain in this game is ridiculously high.
Also note that this was the only person anywhere near me. Yet somehow, instantly, the entire faction knew I, of all people in the wasteland, shot this one asshole in the face in the middle of nowhere. I remember why I hate that system now. Seriously, why has there not been a mod that overhauls that? There are overhauls for literally everything else in the game, so why not this?! Make it so I won't suddenly be hated by everyone after shooting one guy with no witnesses. Seriously, this game is ridiculous, how did Obsidian ever think making the system work like that was a good idea? Someone fix the freaking reputation system, or just remove it entirely! I'd take either at this point! ARGHH! And don't even get me started on Karma, which affects every faction at once because you "stole" something from a house that's been abandoned for 50 years.
Fallout 4 had better not have Karma, and had better have a proper, working reputation system. Or just do what Skyrim did and not have any of that affect anyone not in the general vicinity.

There needs to be a comic about this.
Just... One strip.
