I'm gonna be honest, I never used the mail boxes.
I use them but not that often, I drop high value things I pick up that I want to fix up later with either jury rigging or repair kits
this is my first time hearing about them tbh
Me either
Only on Hardcore and to transport Energy Cells to the Strip
only ever do with the dead money gold
Because they were mentioned so much I now unironically want a loading screen art tier list.
Lucky 38 and Rita’s cafe one’s gotta be S tier
Lucky 38's only crutch is the number of loading screens.
And that on console/unpatched versions of the game some containers (I believe the chests adjacent to the workbenches) aren’t safe to store items in - or so it’s been reported
@@Knight-SgtReyesIt’s not the actual loading screens that matter. I play on console and all loading screens are nearly instant. It’s a hassle walking from outside the strip into the lucky 38 and up to the penthouse compared to fast traveling to Novak, or teleporting to the Sink.
But you technically own the whole tower 😅
Knight-SgtReyes what if my game crashes every like 10 mins , is there a mod for that
@@long_pensil usually the 2gb mod, honestly lol
I feel like the Novac house is perfect; nice central location, lots of storage, one loading screen, you're near vendors, and I guess you're no longer renting it if you show Jeannie something in front of the dinosaur
Agreed. Up until I bought the dlc I always used the novac house. Now I've been using the sink in old world blues. I enjoy going directly to my house when I teleport.
Why Alice? She is an innocent brahmin rancher.
@@CliffSedge-nu5fv yeah, she’s just a rancher, if you count slaves as cattle.
@@strongfat625 Alice McCafferty /= Jeannie May Crawford
@@John.Not-Jack.Danielsi mean after what Alice does to rose of Sharon Cassidy..she can share Jeanie's fate😂
The bunker from the dead money DLC
Basically my bank where I store my gold
Only thing i don't like about that bunker is that it's missing a campfire, which i personally use more than reloading bemch and workbench in most playthroughs
Everything in the bunker is fine for me except the dead body with its head blown off staring me down from the corner.
@@Mark-cc9qiI decorated the body with garden gnomes to spice it up a bit 👍 really changes the atmosphere.
@@coletrain218 just put the evil gnome right beside it with a melee weapon
I also use the abandoned BoS bunker from Dead Money, pretty sweet house
I remember when I found this location a long time ago when the game first came out and the DLCs were not available yet. It was juts called the Abandoned Bunker if I recall correctly and the layout is similar but there was no radio and the hallway that leads into Elijah’s room was actually just a collapsed tunnel. I remember when I got the Dead Money DLC and went to my trusty base location in a new playthrough, I blacked out and the DLC started and I had no idea what was happening bc I never set the quest as active lol I was actually pretty upset until I finished the DLC and realized I could still use it as my main base lol
I thought so too, until I realized. Fully-coded vending machine, all the Cloud residue I can get, but no hot plate or campfire to cook up anything. Kind of a letdown.
@@ReallyKeepingFictional there is a hot plate in there as far as I remember. may be wrong though
@@ReallyKeepingFictional there’s a hot plate in Elijah’s room
@@cyovu
Maybe I overlooked it, but I could swear I never saw it when I was looking for it after coming back to the bunker.
The 38 has a wall console in the suite that allows you to buy furniture and work benches etc. If my memory serves me correct.
Correct
You can buy a workbench, but not a reloading bench (not an issue if u have ede) and you can buy a sasparilla vending machine but not a nuka cola one, missed opportunity
Wait what I never knew this haha
An unofficial one, which I always use: Wolfhorn Ranch, which used to be Ulysses's. You can safely store your items inside (I always use the stove), it has loot outside, some crops with tobacco and other stuff and water if you run hardcore.
I used to make that as my safe house. Pretty good spot with lots of food and storage areas.
I only stopped when I realized Ceasar's Assassins have a nearby spawn area there. Got spawn camped multiple times.
Assassins spawn? More like a free caps
My unofficial one was the goodsprings gas station. That crate there. Its terrible and has no benefits but I just got used to it. That was my first play-through though and I use others now.
@@kaktus4134 🗿
Wolfhorn ranch has water? Is it radiated?
Imagine living anywhere other than Victor's couch
In seriousness though Wolfhorn is my preference. It's a map marker, has some storage, is dinosaur adjacent, and you get free Legion corpses when you come home.
profligates like you belong on a cross
That’s exactly the thing, you have to want to deal with the Legion’s BS. Before I had to make do with TTW, I had to use a mod to scale assassins’ weapons with my level or risk going home becoming a hassle.
Victors house is top tier, before that I lived with Easy Pete his roomate died during the powder ganger siege.
In Goodsprings, Easy Pete's house is best because of proximity to fast-travel point. Victor's shack does have a working sink for hardcore water need, but it's easy enough to use the one in the saloon instead.
No one talks about Yangtze Memorial shack just north on the cliff...
Goodsprings gas station after you kill ringo for the exploit or just for the lulz with the powder gangers. It has plenty of space to store items, and it is really helpful until you get to the motel at Novac.
Plus, once you kill Ringo, you have a nice corpse to talk to and i feel like it really brings out the whole deranged mailman vibe.
9/10 😊
The dumpsters by the Goodspring Express box never reset. I just store things in there. Work benches around the corner, bed in Easy Pete's house if you need it. No loading screens (other than the bed).
@@thornescapes7707 Easy Pete's house is my favorite, there's plenty of different containers for hoarding.
If I was on console it's what I'd use, but on PC I just tele to lucky38suitefloor22 or whatever it is
@@thornescapes7707 The boxes are nice because you can drag them to the quicktravel spot and then you don't even need to walk
That gas station was my first home until novac
The Sink is the GOAT, but it almost feels too posh for FNV, so I don’t usually wind up using it. I feel like I'm cheating when I make it my home base.
I usually go for Novac. It’s accessible almost immediately, has most of the amenities I want (healing, storage, vendor, workbench) and is the most centrally located housing, which is nice for no-fast-travel runs.
I agree sbout the sink feeling too posh. once the dlc is done, i get my stuff and it's back to novac, return rarely for parts- drowning boomer Jack in scrap metal is too easy using the sinks various appliances.
The sink feels like a modded home
@@logancarlile8895 one of the cheaty ones, too lol.
If you are skipping the Novac quest line for any reason you can rent the room from Jeannie Mae for 100 cap. 100 caps isn't a lot and she never asks for any extra payments.
Edited for spelling.
Can just do boone's quest. Kill jeannie, then later cliff will give you the room for free
@@gemstonegynoid7475 He only gives it to you if your status is accepted in NoVac
@@gemstonegynoid7475 As I said. If you aren't interested in doing the quests.
@@gemstonegynoid7475”FORRR FREEEE????”
That’s a reference to a movie but I can’t remember, lol, but it’s just 100 caps for permanent residency so what does it matter ^~^ lol
@PauloHernandezXD hey at the very beginning of the game that's a lot. But after a while you'd be making 1000s just off of legion assassins loot
Surprised no one has talked about the abandoned shack right next to the memorial in good springs, its early game, has a fast travel, reloading bench & a bed with good amount of storages to organize. I use it pretty much all game, looks nice if you clean it out & set up some weapons or armor!
Do items de-spawn inside the abandoned shack?
@@apbraloga no
victor's shack?
@@maestrofeli4259 it’s near the yangtze memorial (or however its spelled) im pretty sure
Honestly i just use the dumpsters next to Chet in goodsprings, its right next to a fast travel point, doesn't delete your items, outside so you can instantly fast travel away, and i personally only need 2 inventories for sorting. (One for important items, and 1 for junk to be sold, the dumpsters have tabs so you don't need to sort by weapon/apparel/aid/misc)
I also normally have the perk to fast travel while over encumbered so i highly value proximity of my storage to the fast travel point.
i always use a grave at the good springs cemetery lol
Home Sweet Home. lol
Vampire!
Clever.
I really love the abandoned BOS bunker after running Dead Money. Workbench, recoding bench, the cloud machine, but most importantly the Sierra Madre machine and the chips that flow in after finishing it
Harper's shack is Numero uno for me. Work bench, reloading bench, campfire just outside and fast travel puts you right at the front door. Bonus points for respawning raider fodder and deathclaws just for fun.
If you have the Animal Friend perk, eventually 2-3 golden geckos will show up and periodically kill the raiders that show up there. Both the geckos and raiders respawn regularly, and the geckos usually win the fight. Once every 3-8 days, you can go down, pat the gecko friends on the head and clean up all the raiders' equipment to sell later.
@@CliffSedge-nu5fvoh snap that’s kinda cool. I now see a potential use for that perk outside of OWB and Honest Hearts.
I agree with all.
Sink is HQ feel, lucky38 is a gamblers life, novac home rental is coziness.
Best safehouses for me is the followers and BOS for what they provide and design structure since they are more themey.
Novac room is goated
I think the Lone Wolf Radio located across from the Goodsprings Source is the most convenient safehouse in the game. It has a bed and some containers for storage and when you fast travel there you can walk straight inside. I only use it in the early game because I don't really like its appearance so I go for either the Novac room or the Lucky 38 room once I've reached those points.
Same
You really don't have to do the "Come Fly with me" quest in Novac to get the room. You can go to the McBride house (It's the house that's the first left from the big tent in Novac) and talk with them to get a little quest to stop the nightkin from killing their brahmin, which you can kill the nightkin at any time, don't have to wait for midnight. Because he's just behind the big rock. After that you can go to Jeannie after getting Accepted status, and she'll give you the room.
I didn't think you had to do anything other than pay Jeannie.
Nope, just do the McBride quest and talk to them to complete it to get the Accepted status, then just go the Jeannie and tell her you'd like to rent a room. She'll just give it to you as your own home. Quick and easy. :)@@ManDuderGuy
@@Raevera What I'm saying is, you don't need Accepted status, and the fee for the room is negligible; that's all I'm saying, I guess you already knew.
@@ManDuderGuy correct, it’s only 100 caps
Or, you tip your red cap to Boone. Once Jeannie is dead, Cliff Briscoe will give you the room for free.
I think the BOS safehouse is the best. However I have on more than one occasion had a deathclaw randomly spawn in their when entering, so there is that.
Ahh yes the hole in the ground with the with its own guard dogs truly the greatest home comfort.
Deathclaw: Why, Hello there.
I always use the dumpsters in goodsprings 🤣🤘
Same, its right next to the fast travel point and you only need 2 inventories for storage. (Technically just 1 but its nice to have a "junk" and "favorites" so you don't have to look through such a long list for your best weapons, or crafting components)
And there is a free bed in a trailer behind the saloon.
Easy Pete's house is good too.
I don't always use the mail boxes but when I do I forget about them 10 seconds later.
While the coolest player house IMO is the Tops High Roller Suite the one I use most is the Novac hotel room.
Forget about doing Come Fly With Me just pay Jeanie May 100 bucks before you have Boone dome shot her and the room is yours forever.
I've had Cazadores spawn in The Followers Safehouse and deathclaws are known to enter the BOS safehouse.
"safe" house.
Do not forget about come fly with me. Aside from novac room, it is a good quest. Fun. Good loot early on.
@@snit22 RIP harland. sorry, it's just easier.
I always use The Bootleggers Brewing Shack as my home. Lots of safe storage and a Campfire when you walk in.
Isn't there lots of cazadores at your doorstep?
@mashedpotatogin236 yup
@@mashedpotatogin236 Free stingers to craft turbo! 🤤
@@mashedpotatogin236 Natural defenses to determine Thieves 😁
Make sure to save before going in the first time, one of the few places you can get a Gauss rifle from
The Sink is the comfiest home I’ve ever had in a video game. Big fan of being able to just teleport to it and instantly unload hauls with the Transportalponder.
Yeah it is an awesome home, it has everything you could ever need.
This is just me but I think that the sink is the best one here. It has very many amenities including but not limited to, a vendor, a place to fill water bottles and drink, a place to heal yourself, a place to grow plants, all 3 kinds of crafting benches, and some shelves to display trophies such as weapons, items, and other nice things.
Fun fact: if you do the Brahmin killer unmarked quest or Ranger Andy’s unmarked quest you can get the Novac house for free, because Jeannie May (or Cliff Brisco if Jeannie is dead) will give you the house for free if you’re accepted by Novac
You left out a couple vendors near the Wrangler room. Julie at the Fort will sell a limited amount of meds and magazines once your rep is high enough, and Mick and Ralph's is right around the corner. And there's plenty of places to gamble nearby.
Novac has easy access to No-Bark for unlimited Caravan.
I usually use the Wrangler if I'm roleplaying a Follower, or the Novac room otherwise, until I get the Sink sorted out. You really should have made an S-tier just for it, it's in a class by itself.
Novac is definitely my favorite for that low profile cleaner type of playthrough. It seems to be fairly equidistant to all different sections of the map which is nice if i’m trying not to fast travel as much. It has the reloading and workbench in the garage outside which has just always been a nice little detail for me. Its the most personal player home/safe house for me.
It's also the only one I'm aware of with an actual safe in it for keeping all your most valued item. I like the touch of a safehouse with an actual safe.
@@Neognostic-pk5wu 100 percent
There's a location called Harper's Shack that I used as a personal safehouse during one playthrough. Normally you run the risk of deathclaws since it's quite close to Dead Wind Cavern and Primm Pass. But when I used it as housing, I guess I just lucked out with deathclaw spawns and they never bothered me lol
If you don't mind what neighbors you have, I'd say it can definitely work as player housing. Has a campfire outside, a workbench and reloading bench indoors, a bed, and a lot of storage containers.
I use Harper's Shack. It has plenty of storage, ammo bench, work bench, bed, and a camp fire outside. An added bonus is the respawning of viper gang members and golden geckos near by for grenade rifles and meat. It is also reasonably centrally located on the map.
Get the Animal Friend perk, and the geckos will kill the raiders for you.
I always use Novac, using The Sink is a bit annoying for me to travel because of companions but if I’m running alone the I’d see use of it
The sink just has so much utility with a single trigger press. Awesome home base
Lucky 38 is my usual go to mainly because I like a place to keep all the compainions, it also has plenty of storage.
The Sink is my second favorite because of it's utilities.
Also the Novac House you actually don't need rep, you can get it it for like 100 caps from either Jeanie or Cliff (if Jeanie is killed by Boone in his starter quest)
Y'all sleeping on the coyote mine house, that pad although has the occasional feral ghoul infestation, it has a spacious two floors, an old timey radio just at the entrance, bunk beds, lot of storage and complete with a fully decked out kitchen.
My favorite is actually goodsprings. You can empty, drag, re-organize, and re-use the Sunset Sarsaparilla crates scattered throughout the town. There is a mailbox and Trudy, Chet, Doc Mitchell can all serve as vendors, as well as the all-important crafting and reloading benches nearby
That's usually what I use for the first bit of the game.
I heard something about the crates eventually spawning back to the original spot, but I don’t know if there’s anything to that.
Goodsprings alley between the general store and saloon. Both benches, 4 crates, No loading screens and an abandoned trailer with a mattress
Yes. In novac, you have both working and reloading benches in a nearby abandoned gas station. Plus, there are a bunch of free crafting materials that you can or sell.
Harper's Shack is my favorite because it has safe storage, beds, a reloading bench and workbench. Plus it has a campfire and some prickly pear cacti for harvest outside. Place is ideal for Hardcore mode, which I always play on. Doesn't have a water source, but that isn't an issue for me, as I always have purified water on me. Even if I ran out, I could just fast travel to Goodsprings source. There's also deathclaws nearby, but they ve never been a problem for me, since they don't ever detect me.
For hardcore and crafting, Harper's is perfect. For water, I store a couple glass pitchers and some surgical tubing in one of the outside boxes, and then I can mass purify all the dirty water I've collected at the campfire.
I highly recommend the Animal Friend perk if you stay there too: golden gecko friends will show up and kill all the raiders down the hill.
@@CliffSedge-nu5fv That’s smart, I never thought of that. Next time I play
As a hoarder, I LOVE the Mohave Express boxes, especially at low levels. That affects my favourite home. If you're by a box you can ship things home easily.
* Best Starting Home: Goodsprings. Seriously. I store all my things in the two dumpsters right beside the Express box. Fast travel there, no loading screens. Two work benches right around the corner. Usable bed in Easy Pete's house. Fast, convenient, and again, I LOVE that Express Box (and no loading screens).
* Best Late Solo House: The Sink. Except that your companions unfollow, which is annoying. (I admit that I sometimes use a mod that allows companions to come with me, which reduces annoyance.)
I was pleased that you included both of mine, although you downplayed Goodsprings as if wasn't far better than anything other than the Sink.
Auto doc isnt automatic for old world blues. You have to find his personality chip in Y 17.
Harper's shack is the best. It's got a workbench and a reloading bench, a campfire right outside, a bed, and plenty of containers to let you organize, plus it's own map marker, and it's easy to get to early on. Only issue are occasional deathclaws that stray from the nearby cave, and the blind deathclaw out back. It's easy enough to avoid aggroing them tho so it's not too bad
Novac is usually my budget "The sink HQ". You don't need to be accepted or liked by Novak. You can just straight up go there and just buy it for 100 caps and it does have a reloading and workbench across in the gas station. Plus there's the merchants in the dinosaur and caravans come through the town allowing you to trade with them occasionally which is nice and kind of cool for role-play value. There's old lady Gibson for crafting materials and the doctor if you need extra chems meds etc and she's usually in the town with her two mercenaries following her around. And on top of being nearby, two companions Boone and Veronica granted Veronica's a little further down. But she's also near useful vendors for ammo and other supplies so I never mind. Lastly, it's an NCR territory so you can use it to resupply from the radio. The only problem that I find with the Novak has is there's no immediate campfire but there is one one behind Lady Gibson's house in AKA Elijah shack so only a little bit off but I love Novac house. Its got that Wild West feel and livelihood to it. Plus it's in the middle of the map convenient for all journeys and DLCs I like to think.
No mention of the abandoned Shack?
There is a helpful mod call mojave experess expanded or something, that adds mailboxes to more locations that might make a place a more convenient home
Eldorado Gas station. Gets lots of traffic from merchants, has beds to pass time and get rested, campfire for cooking and plenty of storage inside. Favorite unofficial house for sure
Awesome!
I don't do casino rooms or faction safehouses. The casinos take forever to get to and the safehouses have NPCs that steal your stuff.
Paladin Sato stole my alien blaster.
The best safehouse comes from the Willow companion mod. It's the Deluxe Bungalow in Novac. Naturally, it has the minimal loading screens to get in and out, easy to access, has all the amenities like sinks for water, workbench and reloading bench, and categorised lockers for all the gear you pick up in the wasteland.
However, the best part of the safehouse is the warmth. (Emotional, not thermal) Whenever the Courier goes to Zion, Big MT, the Sierra Madre or the Divide, it was always reassuring that Willow was there waiting for the Courier to return. She made the difference between a safehouse and a home.
Willow is the best companion mod I've seen yet. Next best might be Molerat, but I just installed that one recently and haven't got to far with it.
Willow has the bungalow (automatic item sorting!) multistage companion quest, adds at least 6 other characters to the game, voice acting is all good, .. top-quality mod all around.
I must say, the Lucky Shades do give some crazy bonus perception with Four-Eyes.
Got set up at Wolfhorn Ranch. Really good spot imo for hardcore.
I use a random house in Nipton. The scenery is great!
Lots of good loot in the area also! And pet bark scorpions in one house haha
Am I the only sicko who uses the Mesquite Mountains Campsite? I just think it‘s neat, as well as it’s mostly secluded, aside from the odd Radscorpion attack, it’s got a campfire, close by to harvestable plants, pretty equidistant from all the useful places in the Southwestern part of the map (Mojave Outpost, Goodsprings, Canyon Wreckage (if I feel up for a change of scenery or a chat with Ulysses)) and it has a designated footlocker, which helps top the place off as a real good home for those looking for something with a very survivalist feel
If you have the Rad Child and Atomic! perks, that place is amazing.
My player house before the sink, was the sunset sarsparilla crates between chets and the bar. You have a couple crafting spots right there. Not a house, but a place to stash
Hello! Big shoutout to the house tier list! :D
And yes I did talked in earlier livestream how the fridges in Follower's Safehouse kept respawning with new food/drinks not just every few days, it's every time they are opened (the follower's doctor Laura keeps stocking the fridge after all). Ofc they are not considered safe containers, anything you put there will be lost forever- nice way to throw away trash items as alternative. It's probably the best safehouse for hardcore mode since the item spawns are unlimited. ^
Small caveat- the High-Roller Suite and the Presidental Suite are two different player houses you can get at the Tops.
The one you covered is the Presidential Suite. The High-Roller Suite is a gambling reward and is located on the 13th floor.
Another thing about the BOS Safehouse is when you fast travel there you have to fight a low health young deathclaw every time.
Thanks man, going through 2 playthroughs right now and its good to see my choices before cutting off factions
Harper's Shack has all the workbenches plus all the porch deathclaws you can handle
Anyone else use the mod that gives a sweet player house just north of Goodsprings gas station? It had a short quest (collect a key and dynamite) and the place is a bunker with spots that auto sort and decorate your items. Such a handy spot!
That came with the Interior Lighting Overhaul mod, but it would bug out and crash my game, so I had to abandon it.
I use the floating platform in Lake Mead :^)
ive started using the abandoned bos bunker after dead money as a secondary more faster alternative to the primary sink, which takes a bit to get to and you have to dismiss your companions, also the bos bunker has the sierra vending machine where i can get all the stimpacks, weapon repair kits etc i want
The Monte Carlo Suites are severely underrated
Hey, I suggested this one!... Personally, I always go for the Novac house. Aside from being the fastest to load I also love how cozy it feels. Plus it doesn't have that creepy Lucky 38 music.
I always move in with Doc Mitchel, he ocasionily snacks some food items, but is nice to visit him every time i store something in my Stash
*occasionally
That's a great idea!
Small correction, the last one you showed is The Tops' Presidential Suite. The High Roller Suite is gained from winning all you can from The Tops' casino games. It is pretty much the same as the Bon Vivant Suite in the Ultra Luxe.
The Sink is by far the best one.
You've been on a roll lately love to see it ❤
The only ones I ever used as Safe Houses were the Novac motel (best because it’s directly in center of the Mojave) & the Lucky 38 because canonically your items would probably be super safe up on the top of this impenetrable tower.
I honestly loved decorating the places with items spread across & items specifically stored in certain cabinets :3
and there was 3. I totally agree with your top two. the lucky 38 just has far too many loading screens.
I turned Vault 19 into my home since it has a working vault door that and be opened and closed.
I used console commands to delete most of the powder gangers in the vault and clean it up to use it for myself.
The ones I left I gave them different armor and weapons and made them look like brotherhood of steel and used more console commands to spawn in shelves and storage boxes and all kinds of other objects to really make it look cool. I deleted all the objects in one of the bedrooms and turned it into a armory and so on. Looking sick af. On the surface the square fenced in area around the tiny building with the cover that leads you down to the vault door I covered with guards and turrets and a vertibird.
Another honorable mention is Raul's Shack: bed, workbench, several containers, working radio, and if Raul is there, skill-100 repairs.
There is a campfire at the nearby Fields Shack, and you can collect some free weapons and armor from the Legion assassins down the hill along the way.
I always use the sink, but until it's unlocked I use the house across from the prospector saloon. The workbench and reloader in the alley are really useful.
The sink hands down the best player home/hub. You can't beat a store in the living room most of the electronics have memorable lines and personalities. Also looks the most like a future tech living space should be. Bonus points for being able to look at my missing parts on display. IMO the location starts out cold just a player home, the more you invest in upgrading the appliances it feels like a family home or I'm just in need of actual human interaction nah i stand on my nuclear powered toaster wanting to burn down the world 😂😂😆
Only downside with the random sites people improvise as unintentional safehouses is their beds do not provide the well rested perk. Sleeping in them doesn't heal you/fix limb damage or earn you the 10% xp bonus
I always use the empty shack next to the boomers, right next to the guy who tries to sell you the boomer map. It's got its own fast travel and has room to decorate.
That is an interesting place to have a home too.
Campfire right outside and Dr. Usanagi and GunRunners are close by.
Nothing beats Goodsprings as a "house". You have the dumpsters to store stuff. You have Doc up the hill. Chet for selling stuff. The work benches around the corner. Hard to top imo.
The Follower's safehouse also has the All-purpose Science Suit, with has 13DT and weighs only 2. One day though I had a Legion hit squad just bust inside and attacked, which honestly freaked me out a little, so that place is ruined for me.
I can understand that, and that would be pretty scary.
Yeah, as soon as you step outside, you need to fast travel away. The assassins show up just down the hill.
One thing Fallout 3 did that I loved was allow you to give your rooms a theme. Vault themed, pre war themed, raider themed etc. stuff like that made me wanting to go back to my player home and role play.
Harpers shack is the goated 🐐 one. Its got every crafting station
The wiki says deathclaws like to follow you into the shack lol
Call me crazy but I typically use victors shack in goodsprings until I get the Novac room lol it’s always my hometown in my backstory. It has plenty of early storage. The cool bunker by the Yangtze memorial can be fun also.
i wish the storage worked in the atomic wrangler room 😢 i have such a sweet spot for the wrangler
That would be cool!
i recently discovered the room on the left on the top floor of the El Rey Motel just west of camp mcCarran being a really nice player home for me. i discover it really early on as i usually make my way straight to the strip at the beginning through camp mccarran, it looks clean from the inside (just gotta deal with a junkie) it has a nice shelf to display unique items i like to collect, has a drawer and foodlocker for storage and ofc a bed. i dont use workbenches all that much so not having any of those doesnt bother me too much, definitely recommend it
Not to mention the little festive light draped across the ceiling, just mwah.
@@mashedpotatogin236 that was the first thing i noticed before the junky came out of the bathroom, he now sleeps in the bathtub
It’s absolutely god tier in terms of overall comfort and unique feel, I had a hard time forcing myself to use s different spot as my home for other playthroughs
Also if you ever want a work bench for you while living at El Rey motel then you can always pick up ED-E or Veronica and have them live with you
@@DirtyDev ed-e is the goat. Unless the character iam roleplaying wouldnt use him he is always by my side
My pet peeve with most of the player houses(except maybe Sink and Novac one) is that they feel like the one thing Obsidian refused to make convenient and simplified for players. What I mean is that it feels like sometimes the game is way simpler than it could be, like how DM was made simpler in some aspects(especially if you aren't using hardcore mode) or how some stuff(DLC mostly) gives you so much useful loot or how easy it is to extract lead from either bullets or book shute. But they couldn't even give us more than 2 convenient player housing 😅.
Like I even forgoe that Novac is semi decent place because of how forgettable the layout of location is so I just used goodsprings map marker. It spawns you near Chet's shop and near it you have two crafting tables for bullets and other stuff and you have two containers that never reset their loot so you can use it to contain stuff, literally all I needed was campfire nearby and I'd be perfect home cuz sleep takes so long to get eaten in NV 😂
Bro Ron. You just keep scratching that fonv itch. Love it brooo 🎉
My very first play through I didn’t really know how the game worked, but I set up shop in one of the metal campers/trailers in good springs, and dragged the Sunset Sarsaparilla crates inside of it to use as storage and absolutely loved it for a while, dropped a bunch of weapons around, had em leaning on crates and whatever I could drag into it, and then found out things reset and things started disappearing… but for a while it was great because the only loading screen was the fast travel there 😂
I say Caesars is Top Tier because you also get respawning stealth boys from the legionnaire even if you are an enemy after getting the bunk house you simply put a legion armor on and still get stealth boys easily. I’ve done this personally and a great strat in the game I believe
I always use the camper behind the goodsprings general store. And i store all my stuff in the dumpsters next to the store lol
For the longest time I used the abandoned shack by the Yangtze memorial it has a hot plate and bemches
"A toaster is just a death ray with a smaller power supply! As soon as I figure out how to tap into the main reactors, I will burn the world!" - best player home for your character
I mainly used the Lucky 38 suite but I also had the powder gangers prison as a base at one point. I really liked the idea of the out of the way places as my base in Fallout games for no reason, and I really think we should have gotten settlement building as early as Fallout 3. I also used the Super Duper mart in F03 as a player home as well.
Might only be me but i always used the snipers nest outside of cottonwood cove, the crows nest in the divide, harpers shack next to dead wind cavern, or the abandoned shack near goodsprings. Just interesting places to settle down that have most of what you need and i appreciate that most of them are far enough away from civilization that it feels calm and cozy.
I've always just kept my stuff in goodsprings. Technically not a player home, but ammo and work benches, store my stuff in the Sunset Sas. boxes near the benches. Trade with Chet, Fast travel to GS source for campfire, and you can drink from the hose like a good 80's kid.
Honestly Victors shack is a really good player home. I’ve been using it every game
Still working through my first play through. Recognized the Novac room early on as a great spot. Nice to see my decision reaffirmed.
nah best house is the hub in old world blues. You can teleport there anytime you want, 2 loading screens but they have all the work benches, a whole set of characters that give bonuses, respawning crops which can be turned into green for stems.
Motel was the most convenient so I always used that the most tbh
Lonesome Road has a good player home too: the Crow's Nest: good place to sleep, store items, and it has a campfire.
The only disadvantage to the sink is that you have to dismiss your companions every time you want to use the teleporter.
The only two major hangups I have for The Sink are the inability to swap Companions from there, and the fact that the timed resets don't seem to occur....sometimes I wait and the CIU refuses to replenish caps, and the plants don't respawn. But it's otherwise perfect, S+ rank, a perfect staging area to plan out your next quest with some chill company.
Brotherhood of Steel will also have a paladin that will show up and fix weapons. Expensive but another perk.
Sadly I don’t think I’ve ever used any house other than the sink or lucky 38 if I’m skipping that DLC, the lack of customizations make every “house” just feel like any other building.
My go to player home is the garbage bin in frong of the vendotron, you can fast travel directly, there are workbenches, a trader with nearly everything you need. It might not be a home but it is home sweet home
