I don't have any real base of operations. I store my stuff and companions at Novac Motel, but I don't spend my nights there nor I use it for anything else than aforementioned storage.

The SINK. Though, I try not to visit too often because it can get quite laggy.

The SINK has never been laggy for me. :shrug:

I always use Novac as my first base, then I move everything to the SINK. In my most recent game I've chosen to not have any base, I'll carry everything I need between myself and my companions.

Mostly store everything in the SINK, or at the Abandoned BoS bunker, Most likely if I come back with a long haul and have a companion(s) with me, upon which I dont feel like dismissing then going to the SINK and then getting them back again, too much of a pain, even when you send em back to the Lucky 38 Casino. Also, the 38 is my third home, though I rarely visit it, unless I need to grab a companion..

I really think the SINK is the most useful home, especially after getting all the upgrades.The central hub is a shop thing XD, and you can refill those empty bottles and turn em into purified waters! (I have about 500 of them in the fridge actually). Plus all of em are so funny. Oh, and you can heal, cure Rad, etc etc... And get the Well Rested bonus, though I hardly get that.

Can someone name places that are easy to get to and safe to store your stuff in? Just wondering about all the places, in case I want to make a home for my weapons, another for armor, another for cosmetics, another for random junk.. You get the idea, or if I feel like making a RP character, that would live in a specific place necessary for his line of RPing ^^.

Bellona (Legion raider girl) lives at Harpers Shack predominantly, but she has a few things at scattered other places around the Mojave such as the El Rey motel. She has a kind of survivalist's armory kind of theme going on in her shack. Her Nuka Cola Quantum isn't put on lavish display for instance, it's sitting in one of the crates near the table in the back room, along with a Nuka Cola Quartz and two Victories. Various weapons and war trophies (e.g. JG's Armor, Kimball's outfit, a ranger helmet) all about on the shelves, and it looks like she's attempting to modify a recharger rifle into a hyperbreeder going by the things on her workbench. Also has about 10 cans of Pork and Beans piled up in one of the cubbies of a locker.

Mr. Martingale (Mr. House's agent) will be taking over the penthouse of the Lucky 38 when I get him there. My last Mr. House guy lived in The Presidential Suite of the Tops, but that takes a bit too long to get to. I expect to decorate it lavishly, with lots of shiny stuff on display everywhere. I think I'll put a Teddy bear on Mr. House's console.

John Wayne Eastwood (NCR affiliated Texas Ranger) currently lives at the Wolfhorn Ranch, but I intend to move him to the Abandoned BoS Bunker when I start doing missions at/around Camp Forlorn Hope. His decor is rather sparse, mainly consisting of food on a plate on the table with a regular Nuka Cola. He's a simple guy.

Calico Jack (Independant) lives at the sink and has no particular theme, everything and their grandmothers are there, it's a big mishmash of cool rare stuff. He keeps his gold in the same room as his heart.

Do you play on PS3?

It's not inside The SINK that get's laggy, it's that patio area outside when you have to leave/enter. It will really slow my game down.

I'm on the PC and I've never really noticed anything other then the usual amount of lag the PC version occasionally gets. It might be because of how much detail you can see in the crater.

That's what I think too. I don't see why I can't transport inside of the SINK <_< . Oh well. I envy PC users.

Lucky 38 Presidential Suite. Why lived amongst the ignorant NCR savages when I can live under the same roof as a pre-war genius? And in luxury to boot.

I have spent time all around the Mojave and beyond but I always get drawn back to Novac and the hotel room there.

My characters keep a variety of different homes, based on their personalities.

For instance, Samantha carried 3,000 pounds of stuff from a trailer in Goodsprings all the way to the ABoS bunker because it fit as close as she could get to what she wanted in a home(she really wants something outside if possible, right next to a campfire, workbench, and reloading bench. Darn Claustrophobia.)

And that's just one character with an unhealthy love of the outdoors.

I've been everywhere in the Mojave as far as homes go-even making player homes out of Sunset Sarsparilla crates next to a broken shed.

I keep all my extra stuff stored in the Novac hotel room, but as a general rule I pretty much carry everything I need with me on my back. The bedroll kit from Lonesome Road actually makes that a lot easier to do in hardcoe mode to.

I live in The Lucky 38, The Sink and Novac. Novac before getting to New Vegas, afterwards the lucky 38.
While in Zion I live with the Sorrows in their cave.
She owns the Presidential suite in The Tops and Bennys rooms but does'nt live there or store anything there.
I live mostly at The Sink and the lucky 38. The sink is the best because it has everything you could need.

I've had some really bizarre glitches inside the sink along with the lag on the patio area. Inside I had the whole place turn into what looked like a vacuum of random colors, and I couldn't even make it to the bedroom without getting trapped in this glitch. I'm on ps3 as well, but I've never heard of anyone else with this glitch.

OT: I don't really "live" anywhere, but I do store things at the various shacks around the wasteland. Harper's shack is my favorite, and I sometimes use that as a more permanent home. Although it's proximity to Dead Wind Cavern makes it a high risk dwelling, and I have stepped outside the door and had a deathclaw in my face.

I'm more of a Drifter. Stayed at the Sierra Madre for a while and then the Sink. It wasn't until I found Hopeville that I decided to settle down. So I went sight seeing in Zion, beautiful place torn by war. Now I'm back in the Mojave lodging a bit in the mountains. This is the life. :celebration:

This happened to me once, I think it was due to the Gold I had stored in the body parts room, since whenever I would face that direction, the screen would whig out. I reloaded and it didn't happen again though. It happened with a Blade of the West too, come to think of it, but I just picked that up and the glitch went away.

Jacobstown and/or the Lucky 38. I like being reclusive, or at least being around good company.

NCR Character: I
1.) don't remember what it's called, but its the little house that you enter after leaving the Cave of the Abaddon in Lonesome Road. It has a bed, cabinets, and empty shelves to store weapons. Even though it's partially collapsed, I find it peaceful there. Oh... and I put dozens of satchel charges all around the outside to make sure I'm not bothered by marked men.
2.) The Place in Hopeville
3.) The Lodge at Zion

Legion Character:
1.) Scavenger Platform, (After I massacre everyone at camp golf)
2.) The lodge in Zion.
3.) The Hollowed out Airplane a mile or so away from Goodsprings.

Yes Man Character:
1.) The Sink
2.) Zion Lodge
3.) Sierra Madre, Dean Domino's house. (I use a mod to insert a door in the bunker so you can return to the Madre)

Mr. House Character:
1.) The Sink
2.) Zion Lodge
3.) Lucky 38 Presidential Suite

Each of my characters have different taste in housing. :ahhh:

Didn't try out the DLC so far. (That's gonna end this night, though^^)
For me, Victors Shack.

- Available from the start
- It's in cozy Goodsprings
- It's got a clean water source
- Sleeping there does not give me that unwanted "well rested" XP bonus

Kindly tell what the SINK is.

@OP:

Used to use Novak quite a bit, but then use BoS safe house:
1. Ease of access
2. Both bench types
3. Plenty of storage
4. Cot and water
5. Once you have access to it, you can still use it even if you turn on the BpS

I'm just starting a couple of the DLCs so this may change.

My NCR character decided she'd do enough for Mr.House to befriend him, and he wouldn't be suspecting his assassination as much, I decided Id stay in the Lucky 38 Suite since he offered it.
NCR is gonna get The Strip anyway

Exactly.

It's a wonderful home base that is given to you that you can upgrade by finding holotapes (or was it holodisks?) throughout the Big Empty (where the DLC Old World Blues takes place). It's quite useful when dealing with the enemies of Big Mountain (and the loot too :hubbahubba: ). It's got practically everything you need to survive the wasteland in one, small area.

It's much more convenient than the Lucky 38, imo. Except on PS3, large save files can be lagged(?) terribly when you're entering/leaving the SINK mainly because of the patio view.
