It is wolfhorn farmhouse i missread it it seems to be safe to store items as I stored some things there and went back later and they were still there.

Why not just give the character infinite carry capacity, reveal all the locations on the map to begin with and display all the quests. Start you off with the best weapons, ammo and apparel.

The game is meant to be about exploring, finding locations, defending yourself, knowing when to run and when to fight. Knowing what you can and cant pick up. Thats what makes the game so great.

I gree, no more hand holding.

Go find a safe house, earn the spot to store all the good stuff and play by trial and error. Assume that any crate, unless you own the room, is gonna be looted by someone at some point. I mean, damn it if someone else isnt doing exactly what your doing.

i'v been using old pete's house in goodsprings and nothing has dissapeared yet (touch wood)

Since i play the game w/o fast traveling i only use my companions or when i stop on Novac my roon on in New Vegas de Hotel

I thought about using that but ultimately decided on Victor's shack in Goodsprings.. he doesn't go in it and there is a bed too. But if you're looking for I guess an "official" bed/storage - head on over to Novac where for a measly 100 caps you get good hotel room.

Seriously, Lone Wolf Radio Station is the best storage shack for me.

Simply because:
1. When I fast travel there, it's immediately in front of me - 2 steps away (no extra zoning/loading required)
2. It has 2 containers that start out already [EMPTY] so won't have respawns
3. It has a bed
4. It's got no critters near enough to attack you

1) and 2) are enough reasons for me to save a lot of time and frustration. So I screw all the other locations.

I wish I were you. :drool:

I used the box in Easy Pete's house, but one time I opened it up and there were extra items in it that I never put there so I don't use that anymore. For a start up storage box I think I will use Victor's house from now on.

It's obvious now that most places are indeed safe to store your stuff, and Victor's Shack is a good place to start with.

But if only that stupid robot Victor would have said "Feel free to use my shack partner." it would have shaved off dozens of topics from all the web's fallout forums.

Look, this isn't difficult.
In some games, Oblivion for one, some containers aren't safe to put items in. Cool? The contents will respawn, and what you placed into it will disappear. Okay?
In other games, this doesn't happen.
It's not fun to place items into a container, play for multiple hours, and then come back to find your stuff gone. Still following?
In the first few days of FONV release, many of us were wondering if containers were safe or not. While they appear to be now, no one really knew at the time.
Some of us suggested that it would have been useful to let the players know if the containers were safe or not. Okay?
I mean, why some of you seem to think this is an affront to your gaming religion is beyond me.
The "No More Hand Holding!" crowd is grating on me. I've been playing on hard/harcore since the day the game came out, and I don't need my hand held. Why is it a moral defect if I'd like to know if containers respawn every three days or not?
You know what--seeing that you seem to be so offended by this, how about if I run the rest of my playstyle past you first from now on. I mean, I wouldn't want to use VATS or too many stims if you're going to be offended by it.
