So, I am confused about how fame works. Some items have restrictions on them "good/evil alignment". Is this related to fame? My Rasvim, who was really good, could only use the evil stuff. My Etherium now has the Priest Blade, but it says that its good only and I cannot equip it. Could someone please explain how fame and alignment works and how they are or are not related? Much appreciated.

Evil alignment requires you to be from neutral-demonic on the fame scale, good alignment requires you to be from neutral-saint...

You lose fame by comiting crimes and you gain fame by doing quests
