any storage in your house

though while apparently there's a risk of having your stuff disappear if you store it anywhere else, i've never had that happen to me in my first game where i didn't have a house and just stored my things in that kid's house you save from flame-throwing ants in that village near megaton

~run-on sentences~

thxlol

if it's anything like skyrim, non-owned containers work on a timer that respawns their contents every x amount of in-game time (i think in skyrim it's two weeks)

you might have visited frequently enough that the timer was never able to hit 0 lol

i wonder if i can finish both this and new vegas by november 10

the seventh generation still has so much to offer me, i'm not ready to leave it behind

it works the same, yes. the fallout wikis will probably tell you what containers are and aren't "safe." but it's not as clear-cut as that, as glitches can of course technically cause anything to disappear from any container, and oftentimes "unsafe" containers end up being perfectly safe.

i've always just kept everything in containers in my house though, and have never had a problem after three extensive playthroughs of this game.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

yeah i've pretty much taken to dumping everything not immediately necessary in my house, exactly as i did in skyrim

i don't want to take any risks with containers i don't own lol, this game is risky enough as is

[don't let's]

I wanna feel like I had something disappear from that locker or the other thing before, but I might have just been mistaken or remembering something wrong. Or maybe it was a pre-patch thing.

took me far longer than i'd like to admit to figure out how to enter rivet city

also, nearly 40h in and i've only just entered rivet city

[Samus Aran]

thats normal tbh lol

everyone does tons of sidequests and puts off the main quest for ages

[Thyme]

understandably; aside from that part where you
[spoiler]save your dad in the simulator[/spoiler]
the main quest really isn't that interesting

Professional Tip: Hold Tab (the pip boy button) for the flashlight. Because I always forget and have a hard time figuring it out and I don't remember if they ever actually tell you.
