The 'Is this place safe to store stuff' question comes up a lot, it's interesting that people seem to have different experiences, from memory, I don't think I have EVER had things go missing in either FO3 or NV, and I collect / hoard stuff in obscene amounts ( there must be well over 200,000 caps of stuff in my Topps suite, two pristine versions of every weapon and armor. One in a store box, the other on 'display'. Hundreds of chems, crafting and food items, etc. etc.
Admittedly, I don't leave things lying around for long, going back and forth until I have recovered everything.
I usually have a pen and paper next to me, writing down stash locations as I go. I often wonder if some of these problems come from simply forgetting where stuff is? Obviously not in locations used for housing but outdoor locations especially. ( not trying to insult anyone, but they are massive games, I often forget what I was doing, hence the 'idiot guide' I have next to me, hehe. )
It's just I can't understand how someone playing the same version of the game on the same machine has problems when others have none.
I have probably done over 1500 hours on FO3 and maybe 500 or so on NV, and have cleared out every location of every item I found in both, so if there was a big problem regarding storage, I surely would have had it more often than never?
Maybe a vote / poll to see what the percentages are for each experience would be useful?
