If you do 5 good deeds and 4 bad deeds of this kind, it's pretty much the same as just doing 1 good deed. There are two kinds of deeds - some actions are unconditionally good or bad - they simply add or subtract from your reputation/standing. Good behaviour increases your reputation, and your standing while bad behaviour decreases it - as expected. Both are numbers between -1 (the worst possible) and +1 (the best possible). The game keeps track of two important numbers - your reputation (also called global standing), which is global, and standing with a particular faction.
