Forum:Looking for a house

I checked the F:NV Player Housing page and I really didn't care for any of the option there. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's what I look for in a house:
 * A bed
 * A decent amount of containers (minimum about 6)
 * Somewhere not surrounded by enemies
 * Somewhere that is or is close by to a fast travel spot.
 * Is in good order and not totally destroyed.
 * No caves please, I don't like caves.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Tons of shelves!!! I love displaying all my guns.

So far I use the NCR Ranger Safehouse. I would prefer the BoS one but my guns clip through the floor :( 67.174.95.30 23:25, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

HOW DO YOU DISPLAY ALL YOUR GUNS?? I just put mine in a safe, how would you "handle" them to display them? Thanks
 * Just drop it from your inventory and pick it up using the left joystick (I'm on PS3, don't know about PC/Xbox) Drag the item over to the shelf and put it on the shelf for all to see. 67.174.95.30 02:50, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * On Xbox just hold your cursor over it, then click the right stick to grab it, then you just move it wherever you want. ReapTheChaos 03:40, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

See this is what I liked about Oblivion. They had all those different housing options you could buy/download. I don’t know why they don’t do that anymore. In my opinion DLC doesn’t have to add game play or achievements, Id pay 5 bucks for a decent, well lit house that had ample display cases and shelves. Someplace centrally located that didn’t require 4 separate loads just to get in the damn place like the lucky 38 does.

Finding a place that’s not going to have enemy around when you fast travel there is going to be a tall order. To be honest the lucky 38 is probably your best bet. The only draw back is it takes 4 loads to get into it and its not very well lit. However you can display stuff anywhere you want. You can use Houses’ penthouse or even the cocktail lounge to display stuff, at least they’re better lit. ReapTheChaos 03:33, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I hate having to fast travel to North Vegas Gate or whatever, entering Lucky 38, going up to the suite, etc. Plus it's dark and creepy and doesn't have a working radio. 68.60.250.193 04:18, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

I still think that the best house in the game is still in Novac. And I play on harcore, BTW. There's everything you need close to you, like a reloading bench, workbench, campfire (Helios One or Veronica shack), a doctor, a shop to buy stuff and there's always lots of caravan passing by. Plus, is only 30 minutes from 188 route, 1 hour from Hoover Dam and 2 hours from the Gun Runners, NV Medic Clinic and Camp McCarran. Plus is way faster to go to the BoS bunker, so lots of free energy weapons ammo for use or sell. If you want to go south of the town the journey is even shorter, so you can trade with Cesar's Legion very fast. And there aren't enemies nearby unless you search for them, is one of the safest locations. I want a nuke to blow Vegas, maybe in a future DLC? :D Brfritos 04:49, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

I fast travel everywhere so I honestly don’t care if its 30 minutes or 30 hours to get there. Its not like you’re on a timeline. However I like Novac as well. Its got ample storage and everything is in one small room. When I used the Lucky 38 not only was it a pain to fast travel, I had to run from room to room to unload everything! Oh and there’s a closer campfire than those ones. Its just a short walk away, located in a cave west of the water tower up on the hillside. ReapTheChaos 01:13, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hell, as far as I’m concerned my favorite house is that little reddish brown place in Goodsprings where Easy Pete sleeps.
