i just started a new game of nv, last game was about 70 hours, with the first 10 being brutal and nearly unplayable, then about 40 hours of glitch free gameplay, followed by glitch after freeze after freeze after freeze. I just gave up on it in Jan 11.

This summer I deleted my game data, reinstalled and patched it up. I'm about 20 hours in right now and have not had any issues, so far.

With TES games, I get houses and store my items. I didn't do any such thing in FO3 or NV.

Where can I store my items safely?
