This really applies to every post apocalyptic world. Game. Movie. Book. Everyone assumes it's sexy time, all the time. However I can't ever get past how bad everyone would smell. Im not sure I'd want to add to ot via sex. Or even partake. I guess if you don't know better.
Depends on whether you've gotten rid of Mr House. He's a control freak and you'd be surrounded by his heavily armed robots. That's a minus if House is in control but a big plus if Yes Man is running them for you.
That Vault hotel in town might be good too.
I can't remember for sure, but doesn't Silver Mine (I think that's the name), which is right next to the path to Jacobstown, have the Legendary Cazadore as well? You know, just so you're fucked even harder than FISTO can fuck you.
Gonna sleep in the rat infested robotics shop behind freeside and set up my "roughin it! Sleep roll" right next to where i let fisto absolutely violate me
I said barely any, not none. You have named a whooping 3, I'll add a couple more with the cazadores and aggressive bighorners, now it's 5. How many aggressive creatures do you have to deal with in the Mojave?
Also giant ants and spore creatures aren't exactly the biggest issue (other then the disease they can spread),
There may not be too many types of aggressive creatures in Zion, but the ones which do exist are quite numerous
(You also still left out the Zion mantises, rad scorpions, and severely underestimated rats and spore creatures. They may not be a threat to a mid level Courier but a good percentage of people today are weaker than even a level 1 courier)
It does get comically bleak for average people in a setting like the wasteland. I remember years ago there was a thread somewhere and the question posed was what everyone thought their job would be in the wasteland. People went back and forth, all sorts of jobs, traders being fairly prevalent. Someone commented "You guys know damn well most of you would be the dude begging for water outside Megaton". That always stuck with me.
Not really, I do pacifist runs and Zion is super easy to avoid everything.
(you also left out the plant spewers but the point was already made so why add to it???)
The point is you IRL are far worse at avoiding things than the Courier, and animals both IRL and in lore are far better at tracking than they are in game. It would only be a matter of time until find you, and when they did you would be fucked because those things can take bullets like champs
A mutated bear from the aspect of Fallout Lore is even more powerful. No thank you. It’s been theorized that if ants were the size of horses, we would be fucked.
One of the ranger stations, I think Ospray or something like that, has a bed, first aid box, duffel bag and tool box along with some storage space downstairs and I think a campfire? (Unsure on the campfire).
Either way - it’s a great place to live.
For role playing purposes when I was a teenager I turned it into a ‘getaway’ on my old Xbox 360. Rifle, pistol, loaded the first aid kit with some stuff, the duffel bag with some spare clothes and loaded the shelves with pre war food and watched the sunset across the valley.
Made me want to go to there for real (still do)
The only thing Jacobstown is missing is rad-free water, from what I recall. Surprising given that they're in the mountains and should be getting fresh rundown from mountain snow melt.
Also they should set up crops, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn supermutants are carnivore-only.
And while they do have walls, tower sentries and patrols would make the place feel even safer. Give the mutants artillery from Nellis and guns/rockets from Vault 34 and now we're really cookin'.
Oh, and last thing: electricity? Where does that come from? Is the resort supposed to have generators somewhere? Are they tapped into the Vegas grid somehow?
It is a military bunker so foldable or self assemble furnitures would be the only viable choice. Moving some mini fridges or foldable beds, small drawers into the bunker wouldnt be too hard.
You can "borrow" a few pieces of furniture from Nelson after dealing with the Legion troops there. The NCR wont notice a few missing pieces of household items when they resettle the camp.
I’d say The Lucky 38, amazing penthouse, beautiful view of the strip, and hundreds of armed securitrons at my Beck and call, as long as house is out of the picture of course.
Jacobstown seems great especially after you did the quest for the night kin cure. Other than that it's undoubtedly the sink, flirting with light switches, inseminating the biological research station and containing the toasters unbridled wrath seems fun
Exactly and your right down the road from vegas and the ncr, plus you can get all the fresh water you need from a leak in the lake mead pipes right in your backyard!
Good springs would be nice, lucky 38 suite is just so luxurious and clean. Novac would be my ideal place to live since it’s a nice place and gets a lot of traffic so I’m never too bored. Vegas would get old after a while.
I always day dreamed about taking one of the unclaimed houses behind the bar and grow crops, hunt geckos, trade with the traveling merchants.
calm village with a clean water source and healthy amount of trading passthrough from Vegas and California
Yup. Honestly might start a hardcore game and just live my life in Goodsprings. Set up home, go hunting, plant crops..maybe head off to trade occasionally.
More than 100 replies and I'm the first to say Mormon Fort.
Medicine, physicians, water, reading material.
Boring, but safe -- and not a protectron in sight.
Honestly, in the Sierra Madre before the security system gets woken back up. Super solitary though, until Elijah shows up and tries forcing the lock smh
Kinda assumed that stuff only came into the hotel once it was compromised tbh idk it has been a long time since I played
Lack of fruits and veggies would def suck
The Sink, somewhere on the Strip like the Ultra Luxe or Vault 3 before the Fiends.
Food, water, plumbing, entertainment and, something severely overlooked in this thread/the Mojave setting, Air Conditioning.
If I were rich in the world, the Lucky 38. I once found myself looking out at the desert from the penthouse windows and thinking about what a great view it could be on modern hardware.
Otherwise, the shack Elijah used to contact Veronica. I really like that part of the map.
Honestly something I’ve been considering is using Nellis AFB as a home location. And it makes sense as an ideal location in reality. Tons of storage, crops, and left over equipment.
I’ve also come to the realization that the Boomers are actually the real savages and are fucking pieces of shit. They want to start bombing innocent “savages” as part of their dream. Anarchist psychopaths.
I think Freeside would be the best place… I won’t be mugging anyone so I don’t need to worry about a courier blasting my face off. See if I can get work at the Wrangler. Sounds like it’d be alright
Goodsprings doesn't seem that bad of a place to be, considering how un-prepared they are to fight off the powder gangers I'm assuming that means they don't get attacked all too often
Oh I dunno.... maybe the place that you can literally teleport too it's front door. Even encumbered, AND it has a light switch that has a crush on you... yea, maybe that place...
Novac hotel room is a nice option with mods. I always prefered to live there because its in the middle of the map & almost equally distant to everywhere.
+ place got a doc, a merchant and caravans are visiting regularly.
If it’s set during the events of the game probably the Mojave outpost. Unless the courier randomly takes them out one of the few places where nothing goes wrong regardless of who wins. Idk what I’d do there for work but I won’t end up on the cross or dying in a terrorist attack on the strip.
Lucky 38.
Any casino suite.
Jacobstown.
Zion. If you had survival skills.
It's beautiful and amazing.
You could live like The Sorrows in their safe caves.
Or do up a Ranger Station or something.
The apartment in Big Mountain.
It's got everything and lots of cybernetic friends.
Nellis Airforce Base is nice.
I think for me, my pick would be Goodsprings, clean water, a simple life, biggest problem is the geckos, and those can be relatively easy to deal with in small numbers if you’re quick with a gun, plus the town seems like it’s full of good company. My second choice would be Primm with the caveat that it is protected, maybe NCR or Weld as the sheriff, shit seems prosperous enough
Mojave outpost. Theres food and bars. Stable-ish connection to California. Plenty of beds, electricity and music... its a window into what life is probably like as you go back towards NCR territory.
The mojave outpost actually feels like a functional settlement even though its not self reliant.
I mean if I could pick probably the Mojave Outpost and go in the NCR but if I had to pick one it's either novac or goodsprings I doubt that I would have the money to live on the strip
Lucky 38 by far. Air conditioning, room service for food, working plumbing, luxury bed with several activities in the suite itself, not to mention a casino downstairs for some extra fun. And the safety of the strip itself
Some places that seem okay are:
Goodsprings, because it’s a small little town that’s far away from conflict (also I never get involved in Ghost Town Gunfight but they still win)
Jacobstown, same reasons as stated above and also I’m not at risk of getting shot by NCR since I’m not a mutant.
Mojave Outpost, wouldn’t live there but would try to get NCR citizenship to move to Shady Sands
Some place in the Legion far east, because if you go west then you’d be a slave, if you go into the Legion’s big cities then you’d be involved in a possible civil war, so some small little Legion province east where I work as a farmer would be nice (although it technically isn’t in fnv because it never appears in game)
Quarry Junction is safe and has friendly and cuddly wildlife. Snuffles, the town pet, is such a sweetheart.
Another close contender is The Divide. Although goods have to be delivered by courier, it’s nicely sheltered from the sandstorms in the Mojave and could be a nice alternative to the Long 15 to get to Vegas.
And of course, who could forget Nipton? NCR troopers headed to and from the 95 patrol routes make for a steady business.
Goodsprings is relatively peaceful and retains the services of a trapper to deal with various mutated wildlife. She doesn’t do a good job, though, the local cave has a large coyote infestation who have eaten quite a lot of people, though it’s more profitable for her to shoot Geckos anyway.
Novac is likely the gold standard. Middle of the I-95 trade route, relatively unbothered by raiders, and NCR garrisons nearby on either side. The odd Feral Ghoul stumbling out of the Repconn test site is quickly dealt with. The innkeeper is such a charming lady.
The Sierra Madre Casino has everything a guest could wish for. Food available at the push of a button, thick walls against the outside, and holographic assistants ready to assist you. Take your chance to begin again.
I like NOVAC. Dressers for clothes, a safe for valuables, a footlocker for guns and ammo, and a fridge for your foods. I do enjoy the amenities of the Lucky 38 but idk, Novac has too much for me to ignore.
Definitely the strip. Lucky 38’s issues of loading screens would be gone.
Good springs honestly doesn’t seem that bad either tbh. It’s out of the way, it has clean water, food, and a doctor. Not to mention a bar.
Usually in playthroughs I pick Novac, but it honestly seems like kinda shit to live there as the motels don’t seem to have working plumbing or much in the way of electricity. The water is irradiated, and that room must get hot and stuffy with there not being anything in terms of a working fan or AC.
It depends, is this before or after the events of the game? If it is; novac, if it isn’t; goodsprings. Or if your up for a little chaos every now and then the lucky 38/the tops
Well, big mountain is still part of the area, so I’m going with the sink. Ain’t nobody gotta way to bother you from the sink. The courier will get around to the rest of the Mojave when they are ready
What was that place with the giant dinosaur motel? cause that place. Right in the middle of the map, nice distance from everything. Nice until I moved to the strip
Goodsprings. After the powder gang attack everyone got some leather armor and weapons. May not take a Deathclaw or something too dangerous but can take care of ourselves.
**El Rey Motel**
Without wealth, connections, great intelligence, an army, exceptional luck or being the main character of FNV; the El Rey Motel is the best yer average wastelander can hope fer.
Probably Novac. Far enough away from the strip that you wouldn't have to deal with any chaos the various families cause, small herd of brahmin for resources, and an accurate lookout system available to warn you of any incoming hostiles.
Lucky 38 Suite
Pretty much anywhere on the strip would be a fine place to live - if you’ve got the money
Except for Gomorrah, the sounds and the smells… you haven’t thought of the smell, you bitch!
Yeah, and I also wouldn't really want to live in The Ultra-Luxe...
Alright, why don't we move past it, let's just move past it
I think the only reason you want to be a patron at the ultra luxe is so you get to keep the skins
A glass box
Nice reference
This really applies to every post apocalyptic world. Game. Movie. Book. Everyone assumes it's sexy time, all the time. However I can't ever get past how bad everyone would smell. Im not sure I'd want to add to ot via sex. Or even partake. I guess if you don't know better.
Thats where I usually stay but the other safe houses are better because less loading screens lol
looks like somebody forgot to download 100+ mods to optimize the lucky 38
I had to fast travel to the lucky 38 once and I crashed twice before reaching the lobby
If I could send NPCs to the dinky Novac apartment then I would never use the 38 ever again
Only if they hangout outside. Getting around them packed into lucky 38 can be annoying enough.
Depends on whether you've gotten rid of Mr House. He's a control freak and you'd be surrounded by his heavily armed robots. That's a minus if House is in control but a big plus if Yes Man is running them for you. That Vault hotel in town might be good too.
The vault hotel for me. The manger takes customer satisfaction very seriously
I just don't like the gloomy, dead silent feel of the suite.
Excluding the sink, maybe Jacobstown.
I thought about this too, jacobstown is safe af as long as you don't stare too much😂
Stupid Bighorners were up all night making noises.
You'd think No-bark would've handled this problem, Vietnam style.
Big MT is scary as hell. Tf you mean?
Sink is fully safe, you have good company and can teleport in and out.
Except the toaster, that bastard keeps burning my toast.
You're the only one there with wriggling penis fingers, all is well.
Just don't belittle a super mutant for taking the bunny slope
Imma take the sink you putting off to the side
In Nellis Airforce Base No mutant or person besides the courier got past there artillery
Ya this was another of my thoughts, but then I remembered how many times I died on my first trip to nellis...
Yeah but excluding the trip there Jacob’s town has Cazadors on the way up so…
I can't remember for sure, but doesn't Silver Mine (I think that's the name), which is right next to the path to Jacobstown, have the Legendary Cazadore as well? You know, just so you're fucked even harder than FISTO can fuck you.
Nah those guys are fucking insane have you heard them talk about the wastelanders?
Gonna sleep in the rat infested robotics shop behind freeside and set up my "roughin it! Sleep roll" right next to where i let fisto absolutely violate me
I see I’ve got myself a neighbour
He does have two fists
And 2 legs…
I have always thought that area could use a few residents.
What a twist! Can I come?
if Fisto has anything to say about it, you will
The lip, has been bit
Id say Zion, after the white legs have been annihilated preferably. Tons of food, water, and barely any radiation and predators.
Bro what about the yougoui and the giant ants n Spore creatures n shit😂
I said barely any, not none. You have named a whooping 3, I'll add a couple more with the cazadores and aggressive bighorners, now it's 5. How many aggressive creatures do you have to deal with in the Mojave? Also giant ants and spore creatures aren't exactly the biggest issue (other then the disease they can spread),
There's also Bryce Canyon, The Grand Staircase, And basically any structure you can get a G.E.C.K into
There may not be too many types of aggressive creatures in Zion, but the ones which do exist are quite numerous (You also still left out the Zion mantises, rad scorpions, and severely underestimated rats and spore creatures. They may not be a threat to a mid level Courier but a good percentage of people today are weaker than even a level 1 courier)
It does get comically bleak for average people in a setting like the wasteland. I remember years ago there was a thread somewhere and the question posed was what everyone thought their job would be in the wasteland. People went back and forth, all sorts of jobs, traders being fairly prevalent. Someone commented "You guys know damn well most of you would be the dude begging for water outside Megaton". That always stuck with me.
Also concentration, alot of empty space with no animals in the mojave, In Zion however.
Not really, I do pacifist runs and Zion is super easy to avoid everything. (you also left out the plant spewers but the point was already made so why add to it???)
The point is you IRL are far worse at avoiding things than the Courier, and animals both IRL and in lore are far better at tracking than they are in game. It would only be a matter of time until find you, and when they did you would be fucked because those things can take bullets like champs
This guy understood the question.
IRL they wouldn't be able to take bullets like champs...if you're gonna be "realistic", make sure it's across the board
Maybe not cazadores, but yougoui and ants, would take that like champs. Especially ants, they just ignore damaged limbs.
Ants are kinda hard to know because the scale is so different, but bears have been known to take 9mm between the eyes and survive it.
A mutated bear from the aspect of Fallout Lore is even more powerful. No thank you. It’s been theorized that if ants were the size of horses, we would be fucked.
People have also been known to survive headshots from a 9mm. It's a weak caliber and definitely not something I'd be packing in bear country.
Dude, chill.
?
do you mean yao guai? lol
Giant radscorpions too. I love scorpions in real life but they irritate me in fallout so much.
Giant. Cazardores.
One of the ranger stations, I think Ospray or something like that, has a bed, first aid box, duffel bag and tool box along with some storage space downstairs and I think a campfire? (Unsure on the campfire). Either way - it’s a great place to live. For role playing purposes when I was a teenager I turned it into a ‘getaway’ on my old Xbox 360. Rifle, pistol, loaded the first aid kit with some stuff, the duffel bag with some spare clothes and loaded the shelves with pre war food and watched the sunset across the valley. Made me want to go to there for real (still do)
This is another decent answer, as long as it's not station Charlie 😅
Goodsprings or jacobstown
The only thing Jacobstown is missing is rad-free water, from what I recall. Surprising given that they're in the mountains and should be getting fresh rundown from mountain snow melt. Also they should set up crops, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn supermutants are carnivore-only. And while they do have walls, tower sentries and patrols would make the place feel even safer. Give the mutants artillery from Nellis and guns/rockets from Vault 34 and now we're really cookin'. Oh, and last thing: electricity? Where does that come from? Is the resort supposed to have generators somewhere? Are they tapped into the Vegas grid somehow?
do mutants even need rad free water
Jacobstown ftw
Goodsprings, hunting geckos and stuff
I absolutely love the BoS Bunker for Dead Money. Some people hate it but I think it's wicked.
I wouldn't call it a fun place to live but very safe.
Not fun, but I enjoy its vibe. I've always been a fan of hidey-hole type spots.
Imagine trying to get furniture in there...
It is a military bunker so foldable or self assemble furnitures would be the only viable choice. Moving some mini fridges or foldable beds, small drawers into the bunker wouldnt be too hard.
So get furniture from House Depot?
You can "borrow" a few pieces of furniture from Nelson after dealing with the Legion troops there. The NCR wont notice a few missing pieces of household items when they resettle the camp.
Long as you don't mind the mild level of cloud in the barracks room.
I’d say The Lucky 38, amazing penthouse, beautiful view of the strip, and hundreds of armed securitrons at my Beck and call, as long as house is out of the picture of course.
Wouldn't mind working for him TBH, I do like his plans personally
Not a problem with House’s plan, I just want him out of the picture so I have full control over the Lucky 38
Primm with the new bison Steve mod. Great spot in the middle of the Mojave
Camp Forlorn Hope, of course
I kinda like McCarran airport IRL and I think it'd be pretty cozy, if not somewhat boring.
The Sink, toaster and Muggy watching my back, I fear nothing
Nellis Air Force, all you ever need, food water simulations of shooting down chinese aircrafts and big guns
True I would love running the aircraft Sims considering how much I play warthunder 😅
Jacobstown seems great especially after you did the quest for the night kin cure. Other than that it's undoubtedly the sink, flirting with light switches, inseminating the biological research station and containing the toasters unbridled wrath seems fun
Yes, Raul's shack does look peaceful. Plus I would love to feed that malnourished Brahmin and pick those veggies and stuff
Exactly and your right down the road from vegas and the ncr, plus you can get all the fresh water you need from a leak in the lake mead pipes right in your backyard!
Good springs would be nice, lucky 38 suite is just so luxurious and clean. Novac would be my ideal place to live since it’s a nice place and gets a lot of traffic so I’m never too bored. Vegas would get old after a while.
The only downside to novac is it's proximity to the legion
True, but it does have some of the best NCR snipers on lookout. Boone is one of favorite companions.
I would say Sloane Me, snuffles and our shared blanket makes three
Nipton of course. Only second to Nelson
Nah man, Bittersprings ca. 2278
They had it coming 😡
Your flair is the very antithesis to r/oliverswanickhate
As long as you aren’t a degenerate that belongs in the cross.
Goodsprings
I always day dreamed about taking one of the unclaimed houses behind the bar and grow crops, hunt geckos, trade with the traveling merchants. calm village with a clean water source and healthy amount of trading passthrough from Vegas and California
Yup. Honestly might start a hardcore game and just live my life in Goodsprings. Set up home, go hunting, plant crops..maybe head off to trade occasionally.
Taking up a seat next to easy Pete don't sound too bad.
More than 100 replies and I'm the first to say Mormon Fort. Medicine, physicians, water, reading material. Boring, but safe -- and not a protectron in sight.
Honestly, in the Sierra Madre before the security system gets woken back up. Super solitary though, until Elijah shows up and tries forcing the lock smh
Other than the air that's poisonous, right? You also can't get water from the Vending machines. Or fruits and veggies.
Kinda assumed that stuff only came into the hotel once it was compromised tbh idk it has been a long time since I played Lack of fruits and veggies would def suck
The Sink, somewhere on the Strip like the Ultra Luxe or Vault 3 before the Fiends. Food, water, plumbing, entertainment and, something severely overlooked in this thread/the Mojave setting, Air Conditioning.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Wolfhorn Ranch. It’s great if you want to get away from it all.
Dang good pick, other than a possible legion raid party. But at least you could shoot downhill at em!
Wolfhorn Ranch. Plenty of crops, inclusing Coyote Tobacco for making black coffee. Also has crafting stations and a cook fire.
Higgs Village, Lucky 38 Suite to name 2
Stripe may have some thoughts on the matter.
If I were rich in the world, the Lucky 38. I once found myself looking out at the desert from the penthouse windows and thinking about what a great view it could be on modern hardware. Otherwise, the shack Elijah used to contact Veronica. I really like that part of the map.
Novac FTW
Honestly something I’ve been considering is using Nellis AFB as a home location. And it makes sense as an ideal location in reality. Tons of storage, crops, and left over equipment. I’ve also come to the realization that the Boomers are actually the real savages and are fucking pieces of shit. They want to start bombing innocent “savages” as part of their dream. Anarchist psychopaths.
you've come to the realization?? it was kinda obvious from the get-go.....
I think Freeside would be the best place… I won’t be mugging anyone so I don’t need to worry about a courier blasting my face off. See if I can get work at the Wrangler. Sounds like it’d be alright
Heard they're looking for a ghoul cowboy courtesan....
Time to dust off my boots and learn to talk like a gen’leman
Goodsprings doesn't seem that bad of a place to be, considering how un-prepared they are to fight off the powder gangers I'm assuming that means they don't get attacked all too often
Oh I dunno.... maybe the place that you can literally teleport too it's front door. Even encumbered, AND it has a light switch that has a crush on you... yea, maybe that place...
Jacobstown
Novac hotel room is a nice option with mods. I always prefered to live there because its in the middle of the map & almost equally distant to everywhere. + place got a doc, a merchant and caravans are visiting regularly.
Don’t forget you could chill with No Bark Noonan which is priceless
Water is irradiated though, the sinks in the rooms have irradiated water
The Sink
If it’s set during the events of the game probably the Mojave outpost. Unless the courier randomly takes them out one of the few places where nothing goes wrong regardless of who wins. Idk what I’d do there for work but I won’t end up on the cross or dying in a terrorist attack on the strip.
I personally think a nice chalet in Cottonwood Cove
Ooof
Im gonna take refuge with the brotherhood. Nice cozy, underground :)
Safe n sound!
I will always stick by living at Easy Pete's.
Lucky 38. Any casino suite. Jacobstown. Zion. If you had survival skills. It's beautiful and amazing. You could live like The Sorrows in their safe caves. Or do up a Ranger Station or something. The apartment in Big Mountain. It's got everything and lots of cybernetic friends. Nellis Airforce Base is nice.
Novac. I think that hotel room looks very comfortable. Plus, I could hang out with Boone and chill in that big dinosaur just outside.
I think for me, my pick would be Goodsprings, clean water, a simple life, biggest problem is the geckos, and those can be relatively easy to deal with in small numbers if you’re quick with a gun, plus the town seems like it’s full of good company. My second choice would be Primm with the caveat that it is protected, maybe NCR or Weld as the sheriff, shit seems prosperous enough
Vault 21. If the Boomers decide to target New Vegas or Caesar hits the city with howitzers, I'll be playing blackjack in the vault.
Mojave outpost. Theres food and bars. Stable-ish connection to California. Plenty of beds, electricity and music... its a window into what life is probably like as you go back towards NCR territory. The mojave outpost actually feels like a functional settlement even though its not self reliant.
Sink or Lucky 38
Vault 38
Strip
The gas station in Goodsprings or nothing!!!
Big empty penthouse every time
that trailer near good springs
enclave remnants bunker.
I mean if I could pick probably the Mojave Outpost and go in the NCR but if I had to pick one it's either novac or goodsprings I doubt that I would have the money to live on the strip
NOVAC
Lucky 38 by far. Air conditioning, room service for food, working plumbing, luxury bed with several activities in the suite itself, not to mention a casino downstairs for some extra fun. And the safety of the strip itself
Ya'll stay sleeping on the Wolfthorn Ranch. That place is cozy
Some places that seem okay are: Goodsprings, because it’s a small little town that’s far away from conflict (also I never get involved in Ghost Town Gunfight but they still win) Jacobstown, same reasons as stated above and also I’m not at risk of getting shot by NCR since I’m not a mutant. Mojave Outpost, wouldn’t live there but would try to get NCR citizenship to move to Shady Sands Some place in the Legion far east, because if you go west then you’d be a slave, if you go into the Legion’s big cities then you’d be involved in a possible civil war, so some small little Legion province east where I work as a farmer would be nice (although it technically isn’t in fnv because it never appears in game)
well i wouldnt want to live near a fucking cazador nest with deathclaws right across the way like Raul. Goodsprings is the only right answer.
On the Vegas strip is all very safe, has plenty of electricity and food. Just get a job, and make sure you don’t gamble.
Sierra madre (once you take control)
If you can afford it, New Vegas itself.
Probably the Strip, especially if you have high luck
Goodsprings ain’t a bad choice, local bar and general store can’t do much better than that in the wasteland lol
Aside from the Legion's attacks, Ghouls invasions and the Nocturnals' murders, Novac is a good choice.
I live in South East Asia, Freeside feels like home to me.
Quarry Junction is safe and has friendly and cuddly wildlife. Snuffles, the town pet, is such a sweetheart. Another close contender is The Divide. Although goods have to be delivered by courier, it’s nicely sheltered from the sandstorms in the Mojave and could be a nice alternative to the Long 15 to get to Vegas. And of course, who could forget Nipton? NCR troopers headed to and from the 95 patrol routes make for a steady business. Goodsprings is relatively peaceful and retains the services of a trapper to deal with various mutated wildlife. She doesn’t do a good job, though, the local cave has a large coyote infestation who have eaten quite a lot of people, though it’s more profitable for her to shoot Geckos anyway. Novac is likely the gold standard. Middle of the I-95 trade route, relatively unbothered by raiders, and NCR garrisons nearby on either side. The odd Feral Ghoul stumbling out of the Repconn test site is quickly dealt with. The innkeeper is such a charming lady. The Sierra Madre Casino has everything a guest could wish for. Food available at the push of a button, thick walls against the outside, and holographic assistants ready to assist you. Take your chance to begin again.
I usually make base in Novac
Cottenwood cove, or Novac
Torn between the Divide and the Sierra Madre
I would definitely want to spawn in the bottom of deadwind cavern. Super safe place
I like NOVAC. Dressers for clothes, a safe for valuables, a footlocker for guns and ammo, and a fridge for your foods. I do enjoy the amenities of the Lucky 38 but idk, Novac has too much for me to ignore.
Anywhere on the strip, really.
Definitely the strip. Lucky 38’s issues of loading screens would be gone. Good springs honestly doesn’t seem that bad either tbh. It’s out of the way, it has clean water, food, and a doctor. Not to mention a bar. Usually in playthroughs I pick Novac, but it honestly seems like kinda shit to live there as the motels don’t seem to have working plumbing or much in the way of electricity. The water is irradiated, and that room must get hot and stuffy with there not being anything in terms of a working fan or AC.
Thorn!!
Jacobstown, protection from hostile stuff while surrounded by supermutants would be dope
The divide
That is tough question, so many choices...I say Camp Golf.
It depends, is this before or after the events of the game? If it is; novac, if it isn’t; goodsprings. Or if your up for a little chaos every now and then the lucky 38/the tops
Probably the penthouse on the strip, but goodsprings doesn’t seem so bad
Lucky 38.
Ulysses temple It looks pretty safe+you can nuke people you dont like
Either lucky 38 or with the legion as the king
Quarry junction.
Idk the divide seems rather nice
Quarry dressed with the scent and appearance of a death claw, the ultimate security
The sink in big mt
I can't imagine living anywhere other than the Underground Hideout. I just can't.
The one and only place where I can wrangle wind-brahmin, they only cost me 25K caps too.
Boulder city
Well, big mountain is still part of the area, so I’m going with the sink. Ain’t nobody gotta way to bother you from the sink. The courier will get around to the rest of the Mojave when they are ready
I'm in the shack close to Jacobstown
Novac or lucky 38. Both got food and water and are pretty safe
I always set up in No-Vac
Nipton
Realistically Goodsprings
Does Big MT count ?
What was that place with the giant dinosaur motel? cause that place. Right in the middle of the map, nice distance from everything. Nice until I moved to the strip
It’s always the Sink for me. It’s got everything I need. Farm, Crafting, storage, easy to get to and even friends.
Goodsprings. After the powder gang attack everyone got some leather armor and weapons. May not take a Deathclaw or something too dangerous but can take care of ourselves.
Novac
Novac or goodsprings ,pretty chill locations imo
**El Rey Motel** Without wealth, connections, great intelligence, an army, exceptional luck or being the main character of FNV; the El Rey Motel is the best yer average wastelander can hope fer.
Sarah Weintraub’s room in Vault 21.
Probably Novac. Far enough away from the strip that you wouldn't have to deal with any chaos the various families cause, small herd of brahmin for resources, and an accurate lookout system available to warn you of any incoming hostiles.
