Since I have been unable to play Skyrim I've gone back to playing NV.

I found a Bedroll whilst traversing the The Divide and I can't figure out how it works.

When I click on it in the Pipboy it tells me to close the Pipboy to start sleeping. But nothing happens. I then figured it was like the bedroll mod for FO3 where you dropped it and it unfurled and you could sleep on it. But that doesn't work either.

So, how am I supposed to use this thing?

When you close the pip-boy the wait menu should come up. Select an amount of time to sleep and you'll sleep.

Nope, never got the wait menu.

I've never found the Bedroll useful. I generally wait because I don't care for the perk you get for xx amount of minutes after sleeping, so I sold it.

I actually have two of them that I found but I can't get either of them to work.

You're not clicking out of the wait menu are you?

No, or at least not that I know of. It never pops up.

Here's how it's supposed to work

Thanks for the link. I never knew that was in the game.

Wait a minute. Are you outside? Because it only works if you're outside, on a world map.

There might be any enemy close by aswell, somthing stupid that your looking over.

Yes, I'm outside and I get no pop up telling me enemies are nearby.

Does it have to be on level ground like the bedroll in FO3 mod?

no, just use in, but you have to be exposed to the open sky, and fairly in the open. not surrounded by walls or such.

Ok, then that might be why it's not working. I dunno, when I'm in a hostile enviroment I try to hide when I'm going to sleep. I know the game pauses when you are waiting and sleeping but I still want the immersion that I've hidden to sleep.

When I tried to use it I was between a burned out wrecked car and a cliff-face and then the second time I used it I found my way on top of a tunnel and tried to use it. Again, I was between the tunnel top and a cliff-face. I'll try using it more out in the open.

Guess that's why the first one you find is in the middle of a road on an overpass...surrounded by Deathclaws. If you look close at the area you find it there's blood and body parts strewn about. The poor sap was sleeping in the open and got eaten.
