Forum:SpringVale HighSchool

Hey guys,

I've been reading through this site for a couple of days ( actually since I've got the Anchorage DLC on my Xbox360), and I saw that you guys give a lot of good advices and stuff, which I want to thank for. Now, to the point, has anyone tried storing stuff inside the Springvale Highschool ? Specifically, I usually store my stuff in the lockers next to the door you find on the left as you enter the school, there is one nearly crashed, and I use that one). Should I keep using it or move the stuff out to some other location ?

Thankyou,

Vis.

PS. why is my post so weirdly formated ?:)

-- Looking at this tags (Or there for lack of) it looks like you're typing properly, using his spacing and tabbing. try, well, typing lazy.

Example, your "problem" " Hello." Example, How everyone else is typing "Hello." That small little space at the front is doing it. Yeah. Just don't have a space infront of your new lines. -NeoScott 10:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC) --

          thank you NeoScott, that indeed did the trick, no more weird formatting hehe, who would of thought :) VisUban 13:33, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Vis,

Well, to be perfectly honest it's always a little bit dangerous storing stuff in containers you don't own - Bethesda always warns that there is a danger that stuff will disappear if you do this, probably because they reset. I would recommend getting the Megaton House by defusing the bomb or blowing it up and getting the Tenpenny Tower Suite. Then you can store as much stuff as you want without worry. Also, if you want to move lots of items efficiently you should get a companion that can help carry them.

-- Hi Lemonchowder, well, I had no idea that the containers reset until I came onto this wiki so ... :). I will do as you recommend me to. -- VisUban 13:33, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Just a question: how the hell did you decide to put all your stuff in the Springvale school? Surely the raiders respawn?

-- ''Uh, well, see hehe. Thing is I wanted to blow Megaton up, just for the giggles ( curious, deh), and because of that I haven't got a home yet, so had to settle for something else. Now, the Sprinvale school was my first shootout location in the Fallout 3 world, and it has beds and stuff as well. I haven't even see raiders re-spawning until last night, but I ... umm ... "de-spawned" them quite fast. However that made me think it through, maybe not such a great idea to keep stuff there haha :) Thanks a lot, of course it helps.'' -- VisUban 13:33, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I hope this helps,

I've never seen any containers reset before- everything I've put in any container has remained in that container until someone has removed it. The key here is that it lasts until SOMEONE removes it- not necessarily until you do. Be very wary of putting some killer weapons in a locker near where enemies respawn, because they WILL take your best weapons out of your locker and use them against you. I got killed by a Raider with a Fat Man once that way. With that said, if you can find a good location with no enemies that respawn in the vicinity, store to your heart's content. AshRandom swears by the Mailbox right by the fast travel location in Springvale town. According to him, he has 80% of the loose junk in the entire game stored in that mailbox. Personally, I love the rubbled-out house south of Alexandria Arms. It has a bed, a workbench, lots of storage devices, and it's very near a fast travel location with no loading screens to be crossed. Just make sure that when you kill the raider in the house, you pick up his body and drop it out the window so that he doesn't respawn inside and steal your guns. Because if you wait 72 hours, new enemies spawn out of the corpses of dead enemies- meaning they spawn wherever that corpse was left. Some Sort 01:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

i have the megaton house and i walked into tenpenny tower suite via the back door and it was like i owned it. i could take water and sleep.--AHAB 04:28, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with AshRandom, I use that mail box all the time. The caravan traders walk past it, but I have never lost anything out of it. I like the idea to use the building by Alexandria Arms, because of the bed and workbench. Also, with the mailbox you can load up on stuff to trade, even overencumbered it's a short walk to the caravan outside Megaton.--JiNX Bloodfang 10:46, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Silvers house in Springvale. I used it as my home for three levels because I didn't have enough explosives skill to disarm the Megaton bomb on my first playthrough. I recommend it, because no enemies spawn in there. Just kill off Silver, and you're good to go! :) AngryNorwegianDude 09:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
