What type of homes do you want or like?

[gengrimm]

I like making homes in Fo3 and FNV. I'm curious as to what type of homes other people like to have.

 

I rather like makeshift Caves and sewer/metro dwellings.

 

1. Cave-Sewer

2. Wasteland Explorer - Science

3. New Vegas, outside Freeside.

Personally I really don't have a preference in location or appearance or type. The only thing that bugs me in with 99% of house mods they are usually free (meaning there's no quest to obtain the location, no need to purchase it from the current owner, it's just handed to you on a silver platter), they are mostly filled with a god-awful amount of items. Okay, so make the house free, but why is it still crammed from floor to ceiling with junk? It would have been picked through YEARS ago!

 

My preference for houses? Simplicity. Give me something that I can decorate myself, store my ill-gotten goods in, and throw in the ability to "steal furniture" for my house, or at the very least set it up like Lucky 38 suite (purchase the stuff, even though with a decent amount of points in luck money is a joke).

 

Don't mind seeing some fancy scripting effects either. There were a couple houses for Oblivion that blew me away, and the Frostcrag Reborn was one of them.

 

But yea, that's my preference. I hate most of the house mods that are released simply because they either give you too much free stuff, or they're just not designed that well. I don't want to go through six loading screens just to see my entire bloody house.

Oh I forgot to tick Jacobstown, would love to have houses all around the map so I wouldn't have to die of thirst to get to them :P

Relating to location, I'd like somewhere quiet, along a trade route, out of the way of military attention.

 

In the DC Wasteland I lived in Megaton, in the bomb-defuse-reward house. Spacey, decorative, lots of rooms to make it feel like a home rather than a shelter, and you can place special armors and weapons around the place to give it whatever feel you like. I bought the Pre-War theme because it's cosy, relaxing and simple.

Meanwhile outside, the four Canterbury traders rolled past for whatever you needed to pick up.

 

Searchlight wouldn't work for me due to the high radiation and hostile ghoul population, unless there was a way to seal the cannisters in the Fire Station and purge the radiation - then it'd be a nice little town to settle into, and not far from Legionaries to target practice on.

Neither would New Vegas, due to the high population, presence of NCR MP's, noise and light pollution.

 

Where I live now is Novac. It's quiet, pre-war, out of the way of hostiles and politics, traders come through and there's plenty of Caravan to be played.

 

But honestly, I just miss Megaton a whole lot, but my Novac hotel room is just what I like - but Novac (and the room itself) is a little small for my taste. I enjoyed the town of Megaton, all the characters, facilities and environment of post-apoc settlement.

 

So yeah, I'm hard to please.

Homes in the middle of the map are nice, because they're easily accessible from a lot of areas. Generally, I prefer small strongholds. Sandbags around a small house, with a room for guns and whatnot in it.

There are a couple of things that I want from a player house.

 

1) Ease of access. I like things to be organized but I don't want to have to go through 3 rooms/doors to get to the kitchen from bedroom. (Why I hate the Lucky 38 room)

2) Storage. One-two refrigerator(s) for Booze and Drinks. Med cabinets for Chems/Stims. Oven or another fridge for food/cooked items. Wardrobe for Armor/clothing. 3-4 Ammo box for ammo, mines, grenades/thrown, and now for casings/hulls. Locker for guns, special guns, guns for repairing. 1-2 Footlocker(s) for craft items; and misc items.

And then something I really really want but can't figure out how to implement and no one else has either...

3)Auto-sorting terminal. In Fallout3, I used the Vault 112 Apartment mod that had a Terminal for sorting. It had options to store your equipped armor and gun; remove and sort everything else in your inventory into labeled lockers/cabinets/etc.; return your gun and armor. I still have backups of the Vault 112 Apartment mod although it seems that it's been pulled from the F3Nexus site.

 

As a pack rat, I spend anywhere from 5-10 minutes each time I visit the house to empty out my inventory and sort everything into containers, restock on ammo/food, repair guns with old loot, etc. =/

You sound just like me. Each and every container in my home in Megaton was full of different types of stuff. I had a second floor extension, and up there I had a locker for unique guns, a locker for guns I'd need later, unique clothing, clothing I'd need later, and the tables around were covered in stuff I took a particular liking to, including my Chinese set - Xuanlong CAR, Vampire's Edge, unique pistol, and the ghoulified corpse of a Chinese Remnant Soldier wearing General Jingwei's outfit and sword.

 

This is the kind of s*** I like - to be able to decorate my house as I please, not just buy themes.

[ShadowXII]

Having just found it, I'd like to make my home on the Scavenger's Platform on Lake Mead. It's perfect location, but not well sheltered and very little storage space, and there's the Lakelurks, but blowing them apart every time I come home is fun, or sniping them from the shore is good target practice.

 

Keep it one cell, through - going into a house would ruin the floating on the lack environment. Plus I like windows.

Location doesn't really mean much to me but if I had to make a choice I would put it close to a rather large town, but not so close that it's right next door. As for the kinds of homes I like, I prefer the nice fortified bases. Ft. Exodus was my favorite for Fallout 3 since it gave you a small army, a fortified base, and plenty of equipment like you would expect an army to have. For simple homes, I still like the fortified feel, like Solace or Refuge of Fallout 3.
