Forum:Own multiple houses??

To own multiple houses would it not be possible to simply kill the resident of any house and then use it as your own? I understand you would not be able to buy themes etc. The one catch, would your items stay in the lockers wardrobes etc, or would they eventually vanish? If anyone could answer this i would be grateful. IRISH OS1R1S

If this does work and your items stay safe, which house in the game do you guys reckon would be the most kickass and convienent? as most houses are dumps it would be cool to have a nice pad.

My choice would prob be Allistairs Tenpenny suite

I've been storing all my stuff in a locker in the common house at Megaton. Nothing has vanished yet. Don't try to store things in boxes or lockers at other locations. They tend to vanish whenever the room resets (had this happen to me in the mega mart)


 * There has been reports that NPCs may take things from containers as well. --DarkJeff 21:50, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't try it. You couldn't do it in oblivion so why would it be any different here? Coldwars40 21:52, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info guys. IRISH OS1R1S


 * [[Image:Ash_Home.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Springvale]] spawning point mailbox]] If you disarm the bomb in megaton you get the shack, and if you help the ghouls massacre everyone in Tenpenny Tower Roy lets you move into the suite. So that's two anyway.
 * As for storing stuff, if you pick a place outdoors the items will save and you won't lose them, good spots are: Agatha's House which is perfectly situated next to a trade caravan stop and has 3 boxes stacked up right where you spawn. Or the mailbox where you spawn in Springvale, which incidentally most will stumble upon the moment they leave the vault. A bad place would be the mailbox in Canterbury Commons where the guards and citizens walk past - NPCs will pickup weapons, armor, ect, so its unsafe to store items in their proximity. --AshRandom 01:58, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

To AshRandom, really? I talked to Roy after the tower was cleaned up and he still wont let me move! Should I go back to talk to him? I haven't in a long time.XxInThRaXeDxX 20:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the game won't let you have both at the same time. Still, after helping the ghouls the tower turns into "Ruined Tenpenny Tower" and you can sneak into the empty suite, use the bed, talk to the robot, ect. --AshRandom 22:04, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Does it take any lockpicking skills because mine hasn't been added to.XxInThRaXeDxX 22:08, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

What hasn't been added to, your skill level? And no, I think its open actually. By sneak in, I meant you have to go up to the roof and circle around the balcony. --AshRandom 22:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Still, screw the owned houses, I'm way too impatient to wait through multiple open door loading screens every-single-last-time I want to drop off loot. I don't care how unrealistic or whatever it might have been, but they should have made our houses a direct jump-point, and they should have let us jump-out from there too, its so lame the way it is now that squatting outside's preferable. --AshRandom 22:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

In Rivet City, if you buy the room from the hotel, you get to keep it forever and its a safe place to store your gear. Also, its a place where you can become well rested.


 * I like the mattress in Big Town, the one behind the bar in Canterbury Commons, and the mattress in Falls Church Metro, they're all a few feet from their fast-travel spawning points, and they don't require additional loading screens to get to. --AshRandom 23:25, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
