Why the Lair of the Mantis wasn't a customizable home is beyond me. That and the fact that there isn't infinite storage for outposts, which limits their viability as player homes and bases as well.
The problem is the allows you to fast travel everywhere but the places you actually should fast travel. They should have made it so you can fast travel from planet to planet. Thus making the ship and its jump range and fuel far more valuable and forcing exploration. Give people the choice and they will always take the easy quick way and skip all the rewards on the journey. @@RidoDrago
What's really messed up is the Lodge has 3 Infinite Storages but we couldn't get one on each home OR at the very least Dream Home for which we have to use a Trait for...
Yes I was really dissapointed in that also. You would think that after having to expend one of the only three trait slots you have to get that house that it would offer something you don't get in the penthouse you get for free
yeah very true. i mean, for anyone interested on PC, just open the console & click on the container that you want to turn infinite. it should say CONT (object ID) on the top of the console. then type "modav CarryWeight [any number]" without the brackets obviously & it should work.
I bought the luxury suite, thinking it would be cool. Saw it wasnt much bigger than the other home i had and way smaller than my ship. Then i saw the balcony overlooks... nothing. Yeah, reloaded the save
The worst fucking part? Neon Security kept walking through it to get to my balcony (WTF?!) while I was having deep and meaningful conversations with Andreja. I took Andreja back to the ship (she didn't need to see what I'd do...) then started stacking bodies one by one. Then I got bored, and abandoned that 235k quagmire forever.
For this reason, my ship - a C-Class powerhouse valued at 1 million credits with nearly 10k cargo, 4 main Particle guns + 2 sets of 4 Particle turrets, six best-in-slot engines, 40 power reactor, 1600 base shields, etc - is my forever home. I designed it using a Cabot cockpit from New Homestead (Titan, Sol) so despite there being two stories of habs, I can access the whole thing just using stairs in the cockpit. I flipped the docker upside down and put it on the bottom of my ship behind the landing bay (in turn placed with entry just behind the cockpit), so I can access everywhere in the ship quickly from the moment I step inside from either boarding or from a planet. Crafting, my captain's quarters, research, the bridge, and mess halls can all be quickly accessed and are in a smoothly accessible layout. Living space is on the top level generally, while cargo and crafting is generally on the bottom. It has enough space for 8 crew and 3 more passengers. Aside from the cockpit and lower 2x1 Control Room (a Mid Taiyo A - for door placement management), the whole ship is built with Stroud Habs, so the interiors are beautifully shiny and high tech + we rep the Constellation moneybags Walter's colours. It took four attempts and over a million credits, but building my own ship blows owning a house out of the park, in terms of style, convenience and satisfaction.
I think the games best homes will be outposts overall. You can make stellar looking outpost homes with pretty good decorations as well and if you pick a cool planet and scenery that's another plus.
@@Shadow__133 I had a very cool house with glass walls and cool dinosaur things walking by with a bathroom, kitchen, lab and bedroom and cool stuff I collected in my journey on shelves.

Best home is the Lodge. A bed, unlimited storage, already furnished, all workbenches easily accessible, fast travel straight to the entrance, free and available at level 1.

I really like the UC penthouse because it's an amazing vantage point for boost pack jumps that can take you across most of New Atlantis. You all did that, right?
I did jump from the MAST balcony. Boost packs changed the way I play a BSG game. Like with Sarahs' side quest I almost boosted over the valley, instead of following the path the scripting writers obviously wanted.
I personally prefer the midtown house over the core house in Akila City. I bought the expensive one first and just didn't like the bizarre layout. Then looked at the other and found it much more homely.
I forgot about the dream home so by the time you got to #1 I was excited there was this secret awesome home I haven’t discovered yet. RIP. I actually let the bank take the dream home back because at the beginning of the game I thought the layout was kind of meh while it was also super close to a pirate hangout (at least for me). Needless to say my next go around I think I’ll keep it
"Your ship is going to have more space and privacy." Clearly you have not seen my ship that's a 1x1 storage module and a cockpit filled with me, Andreja, Vasco, Sam and Cora, and Sarah. We are up each others' noses in this bad boy.
My thought was to tell the parents they can move out of their apartment into my dream home - they could retire there (and get away from each other which seems to be the catch cry of most long term relationships, and have their own space. Then you could take over their apartment. That's not an option sadly. Good overview of the accommodations.. thanks - I think living on my ship will be the 'go to' for me.
"(and get away from each other which seems to be the catch cry of most long term relationships, " that's going to get worse since ppl are forced into relationships to have a roof over their head. Lot's of ppl are together to just simply survive, long term they are going to split or be insufferable to one another.
What killed the dream-home trait for me is that I had hoped I could itegrate it in a larger outpost project, like build landing pads and similar around it and utilize it like the centerpiece of my main outpost. But you cannot customize the outside area at all, meaning it will always be detached from the other game elements, and this annoyed the hell out of me.
@@Tavi78walk approx 500m away. You’re still able to build an outpost and depending on location you should be able to overlook the outpost from the dream home
It’s almost like they cordoned off that area in anticipation of allowing the player to purchase premade modules for the dream home but forgot to include the functionality. This game feels very unfinished at launch. Should have waited for the GOTY edition.
If you side with the crimson fleet in the UCSysDef questline, they give you a personal quarter in The Key. Not particularly spacious, only being slightly larger than the sleep crate in Neon, but The Key is also just a really good location if you don't mind the moral dilemma of siding with the fleet.
Only downside with the dream home is it could spawn on different planets from what I found all level one planets, but it responded me in a frozen snow planet and none of my armor has any thermal so if I go outside dead
The only reason I didn't go with the Dream Home perk was I (and most early videos I watched, apparently) interpreted it to be 185,000c a week. Which, obviously, that kind of price tag when I was planning on being a homesteader with my own outpost seemed entirely unreasonable. After having experienced outpost management... yeah, I think I would've preferred the Dream Home haha.
Read The Expanse series. The people who live in space and on asteroid stations have agoraphobia because having a room where they can't reach both walls means they could get stranded floating in zero G. Just occurred to me that the actor who played Jensen was also in The Expanse show for a bit... weird.
I have both the "Dream Home" and the Penthouse from the UC Vanguard quest. I never gone to either of these locations in the game. I kind of didn't even think about finding them. I have massive ship that holds tons of cargo and has a bed, a kitchen and workstations. I'm sure if you are into decor then having these places are fun. But unless there's a quest to decorate one of my homes I probably never will.
Yah, I was thinking that if the homes in Starfield were anything like the homes in Fallout 4 that I would probably have to force myself to use them once in a while as opposed to a decked out settlement location + ship.
Soon there will be a survival mod for starfield like hunger and sleep. That in combo with an alternate start mod where you spawn either on a major settlement or elsewhere and you have to raise funds to buy a ship and go off planet would be cool I think.
Yeah an alternate start like "rags to riches" where you start up as homeless living on the streets of slums of Akila for example and working your way up would be awesome. And later when you are successful enough you come back and help build up the slums with the quests you can already do now.
The Sky Suite is free if you have a power boostpack and some aid items that can cure a sprain or dislocated limb (for the instances where you survive a near-fatal fall). The balcony is accessible by ascending the outside of the trade tower (visited during a Constellation quest with Walter) but won't have guards looking to kill you. Easiest method is to get on top of the lightning shroud that covers the city and timing a boost to catch the balcony railing. Door to the sky suite is not locked. Build mode/decorate panel works, but elevator access is still restricted. Buying the suite will cost you an arm and a leg, but failing to land will cost you the same, if you survive the fall.
I'm surprised you included sleep crates but didn't even include The Lodge. You get a bedroom with an infinite storage safe, plus every crafting station in the basement with an infinite storage crate down there. It may not be the top choice, but it's free and it's certainly better than a few of the options included in this list.
Its the best. I only once visited the uc vanguard penthouse cause it's empty. And i am not good at interior design nor do I wanna waste time. I got everything i need at the lodge
Tbf having a bathroom that's visible to the street isn't that much of a big deal, especially when me and Sarah had full blown canoodling in the bed directly behind one of our ship's companions
I don’t know why your video made me think of this but I can’t wait for alternate life mods where you can start on neon as a no body living in a shipping crate and you have to work on neon to even get the credits to buy a ship before you can start exploring.
The Vanguard penthouse does have the advantage of being free, but you can build an Outpost that is better than any of these places with just a little time and elbow grease.
It’s still a fun thing to buy but with you being able to store all resources on your ship and have access to them anywhere even when they’re still on your ship makes having a house pretty obsolete, apart from RP reasons there’s no actual benefit over the ship, hopefully they change that or a mod does so there’s a benefit to having one
outpost house are the best, circle habitation in glass 2/2, set it on hill/mountain top, find a water front, a nice giant gas ring, and you are happy ! craft storage, tools, landing pad. the only bad point, is no merchant for empty our pocket.
You forgot the free spot you get for finishing the crimson fleet faction questline. It’s not very impressive but right outside your room there’s vendors and mission boards
i made a Riddick character so the crate and well homes are probably perfect for him if i want more than just my ship. also as someone mentioned, i could probably live on an outpost i create
Great video. sad to see that limited number of player homes. They need expand the outpost system for more hub designs, or just wall/rool/floor options to make you own home on a planet.
Sleep Crate: I put up an 'office partition' next to the sink to block the view of the toilet and shower. Then a toilet paper holder on the wall, a towel rack on back wall just outside the partition, placed a stool next to the spine for a place to sit with a backrest, hung up some posters, and used the front corner as a small storage area. It was about as cozy as you could get for the space; or at least as much as I thought to do with the space.
The only downsides with these homes are: 1) they're empty! I don't want to spend time & money decorating the place and 2) none of them have the infinite storages that the Lodge could offer. Also, I'm pretty sure you can't fast travel directly to them either!
Have a soft spot for my lil hole in the Well. First home I got, and had all the crafting benches out on the balcony. Can be cozy, but just the lack of being able to travel to these places fairly easily can be a hassle. Also, watch the homes on Jemison, as...well lets just say a certain point of the MQ kind of causes them to 'Reset' entirely apparently. Had to console command Sarah's Commitment Gift back in since thats one of those one time use things. Imagine the Dream Home will be the next playthrough, especially if theres no orbital scan, so its a safe haven to stash Contraband and the like.
The shitty thing with the Neon penthouse and the Dream Home is that the interior areas are separately instanced from the balcony/outdoors. The New Atlantis one is the only one that’s not gonna make you go through a loading screen to use the balcony or open any door to the outside.
I just bought The Core Manor home in Akila earlier today for 75,000 credits i think it was lol i actually came across the guy selling them by chance. Ive decorated it a bit already. Ill finish it off when i get a chance between missions.
The only problem witht he dream home is once you get a class C ship or anything bigger than a beginner ship, your ship will start parking far from the house. When you have a small ship it will park right in front of the house but like 400 meters away when it's bigger. I had to build an outpost close by just to set a landing pad for my ship.
@@XoRandomGuyoX I know that but it's still lame how there's literally a parking spot for your ship right outside your house yet if your ship is too big it parks so far you need to fast travel.
IMO the penthouse is better because the dream home lacks windows. They should have put it in the same cell as the outside, like they did with the penthouse. If the dream home had windows, it would quite probably be number 1.
It actually bothers me with all the great ship clutter stuff that the houses are just outposts. I would have liked it being like skyrim and buying upgrades. This is triple true for the Neon one. It's far to expensive for me to craply decorate lol
You forgot the Lodge that has an safe infinite storage and all the crafting and research down in the basement. There is fast travel straight to the lodge. Easily number 1 player home.
That is really the only good reason to have it. A local place to store stuff. At least then you can keep some extra gear there for those times you need to be in Neon, but you don't need it anywhere else. You also have a bed there to get a quick sleep before going out to do stuff. Extra XP! 😉
I bought the Neon luxury suite and i at first thought i went to the wrong place. So expensive for nothing but what id imagine would be an innercity studio crackden
Yeah, I did that too after exploring up there and seeing the suspicious balcony below. It's weird that Bethesda locks the New Atlantis penthouse balcony, which is far higher in the world-space of Jemison, but forgot about that one.
The 2 incidents that create this "apartment cleaning" bug are during the main quest "High Price to Pay" and UC Vanguard quest "Eyewitness" after you have done them you're golden AFAIK.
4:00 You also get a free workbench and a secret room at The Well apartment. Also, the "Dream Home" holding one of your traits hostage is dumb. I swear monkeys wrote this game.
Dream home have one of the beigest advantage you can build outpost just outside of this home so you can have everything in one spot Dream home and your main base
Hey, hey, hey, hey, no dissing on the parents, sure the house isn't worth living, but at least you get a free ship! You just have to wait on it. And also, I believe you forgot that you got a room in the Constellation.
@@___.51 There's another one in the room at the very back of the lodge which indicate your room. Though it's a bitch to go there every time when the basement is closer. I said screw that, get a personal outpost at my home address, and my dream home trait.
Gran Gran's Armor isn't a bad gift either. In my game, for whatever reason, it has the environmental defenses of Superior grade armor. The defense was only on par with Refined armor, but it is still better than most things you'd find that early in the game. That said, I imagine some people would farm the Mantis armor for the legendary effects. Personally I look for O2 Filter and Carry Assist on my armor, as I'm often hauling a 1,000 kilos of gear....
Bought the Neon suit, cause my first char is from there and I figured at such a high price point, and being a penthouse, it would be really nice. Then found out I basically bought a NY apartment.
Hey, you could have mentioned the hotel room on Paradiso. Sure, it's 'just' a hotel room but you can come at any time and it's fully equipped. Speaking of which, isn't there an option like in Skyrim to get the apartments furnished? 😭 I certainly won't furnish the apartments myself because I'm too much of a 'monk' for that and unfortunately, like in almost no other game (for whatever reason), there is no 'automatic alignment, log on, adjustment'. P.S. Can you sell the apartments again? 🤔
All other homes are useless when compared to the lodge , the most practical place to stay. All crafting stations, two unlimited storage areas and a bed to rest. Substance over style Always.
Of the homes with kitchens, how many actually work? I finished the UC story and the first thing I tried was the kitchen but the oven couldn't cook and while something might have I just assumed the back room in the kitchen was for a cooking station.
I did the UC story for the penthouse and its going to sound stupid but I haven't used it for that reason, imo the houses should have an option to come pre decorated like in skyrim. If I wanted to build my own house I'd build an outpost atleast I can get resources from there
@@exiledwolf9234 or like fallout 3 where you can buy preset decorations and styles at the store. But no, you want to take a shit in your 200k penthouse? Go mine some stone and build it yourself. Good job bethesda
i kinda wish you could have them pre furnished like they give you a selection of furnishing, instead you gotta find resources and furnish it all yourself which yes is nice but like cmon i wanna be lazy
U do know u can fast travel to the residential area in New Atlantis from ur ship right? Maximum of 2 load screens to get to inside ur apartment the same number u have when u fast travel to the planet that has ur house....
You’re missing one more “player home” - Captain’s Quarters in the Crimson Fleet (obtained for free at completion of the Crimson Fleet questline if you side with the Fleet). It’s not much, barely a step up from a Sleep Cube, but hey, it’s free and conveniently placed to stash and sell contraband.
Yo the parents are by far the best entertainment in the game my dad won a ship and gave it to me he taught me his dad’s famous meatloaf recipe and gave me a crisp colt .45 1911. Then there’s mom who told me about her grand mother who was a uc marine and gave me her old armor, she also gave me an old school backpack that gives plus ten carry weight. They will come visit you at consolation and you can run into them at the club in neon which is hilarious
I'd probably be more inclined to use the Dream Home if it was in a system that was under the control of the Freestar Collective. That we can only (apparently?) find it in a barely settled system makes me think only ann introvert who wasn't afraid of pirates would be inclined to use it.
Why the Lair of the Mantis wasn't a customizable home is beyond me. That and the fact that there isn't infinite storage for outposts, which limits their viability as player homes and bases as well.
Why there is no fast travel directly to each home is beyond me.
And on the other hand, ppl complain there isnt much to 'explore'... 😅
I'm looking forward to mods adding fast travel points to them, tbh, and others adding even more homes.

Yeah an alternate start like "rags to riches" where you start up as homeless living on the streets of slums of Akila for example and working your way up would be awesome. And later when you are successful enough you come back and help build up the slums with the quests you can already do now.
I can directly land/fast travel to the residential area from anywhere within range, no need to run from the spaceport.
The Sky Suite is free if you have a power boostpack and some aid items that can cure a sprain or dislocated limb (for the instances where you survive a near-fatal fall). The balcony is accessible by ascending the outside of the trade tower (visited during a Constellation quest with Walter) but won't have guards looking to kill you. Easiest method is to get on top of the lightning shroud that covers the city and timing a boost to catch the balcony railing. Door to the sky suite is not locked. Build mode/decorate panel works, but elevator access is still restricted. Buying the suite will cost you an arm and a leg, but failing to land will cost you the same, if you survive the fall.
I really like the Well Apartment, it has that Blade Runner look to it. Its not big, but you can decorate and make it look like something.
I'm surprised you included sleep crates but didn't even include The Lodge. You get a bedroom with an infinite storage safe, plus every crafting station in the basement with an infinite storage crate down there. It may not be the top choice, but it's free and it's certainly better than a few of the options included in this list.
Its the best. I only once visited the uc vanguard penthouse cause it's empty. And i am not good at interior design nor do I wanna waste time. I got everything i need at the lodge
Tbf having a bathroom that's visible to the street isn't that much of a big deal, especially when me and Sarah had full blown canoodling in the bed directly behind one of our ship's companions
I don’t know why your video made me think of this but I can’t wait for alternate life mods where you can start on neon as a no body living in a shipping crate and you have to work on neon to even get the credits to buy a ship before you can start exploring.
The Vanguard penthouse does have the advantage of being free, but you can build an Outpost that is better than any of these places with just a little time and elbow grease.
Where do you get the grease for the elbows?
It's next to the blinker fluid
Yeah but the decorations are barren … Like with F4 Bethesda have barely given us any of the decorations to use …
@@tommygunner321 This is why God invented Modders.
@Zayphar until you get someone who puts drm in their mod (yes this happened... recently)
It’s still a fun thing to buy but with you being able to store all resources on your ship and have access to them anywhere even when they’re still on your ship makes having a house pretty obsolete, apart from RP reasons there’s no actual benefit over the ship, hopefully they change that or a mod does so there’s a benefit to having one
I love the sky suite and the sleepcrate in Neon, the City is my favorite Place in the Game
outpost house are the best, circle habitation in glass 2/2, set it on hill/mountain top, find a water front, a nice giant gas ring, and you are happy !
craft storage, tools, landing pad. the only bad point, is no merchant for empty our pocket.
You forgot the free spot you get for finishing the crimson fleet faction questline. It’s not very impressive but right outside your room there’s vendors and mission boards
i made a Riddick character so the crate and well homes are probably perfect for him if i want more than just my ship. also as someone mentioned, i could probably live on an outpost i create
Great video. sad to see that limited number of player homes.
They need expand the outpost system for more hub designs, or just wall/rool/floor options to make you own home on a planet.
Sleep Crate: I put up an 'office partition' next to the sink to block the view of the toilet and shower. Then a toilet paper holder on the wall, a towel rack on back wall just outside the partition, placed a stool next to the spine for a place to sit with a backrest, hung up some posters, and used the front corner as a small storage area. It was about as cozy as you could get for the space; or at least as much as I thought to do with the space.
walk around the outer paths of ebbside, you find the bed holes for the npcs theyre so tiny lol
I’m surprised you didn’t include the Lodge. Simply because of its bottomless pit safe you can put literally anything in.
The only downsides with these homes are: 1) they're empty! I don't want to spend time & money decorating the place and 2) none of them have the infinite storages that the Lodge could offer. Also, I'm pretty sure you can't fast travel directly to them either!
Have a soft spot for my lil hole in the Well. First home I got, and had all the crafting benches out on the balcony. Can be cozy, but just the lack of being able to travel to these places fairly easily can be a hassle. Also, watch the homes on Jemison, as...well lets just say a certain point of the MQ kind of causes them to 'Reset' entirely apparently. Had to console command Sarah's Commitment Gift back in since thats one of those one time use things.
Imagine the Dream Home will be the next playthrough, especially if theres no orbital scan, so its a safe haven to stash Contraband and the like.
The shitty thing with the Neon penthouse and the Dream Home is that the interior areas are separately instanced from the balcony/outdoors. The New Atlantis one is the only one that’s not gonna make you go through a loading screen to use the balcony or open any door to the outside.
The house in the Well has one slight bonus to it that the cat walks by it have a good chunk of the crafting benches on them for free.
That doesn't help when all of your resources are sitting at the Lodge in the ONLY unlimited storage. Blah!
@@botodd4679 Yea, that’s the sad reality of any house and any outpost. Is end of the day it’s always the lodge is best spot to go
You shared a dorm bathroom with 30 other dudes?
My god, imagine the chaos on fajitas night. RIP that toilet.
Since not even the most luxurious home comes with a bathtub, I'll stay on my ship.
I just bought The Core Manor home in Akila earlier today for 75,000 credits i think it was lol i actually came across the guy selling them by chance. Ive decorated it a bit already. Ill finish it off when i get a chance between missions.
Neon suite really nails city life though. You pay through the nose for a closest, honestly it a much nicer closet then anything I've lived in.
My roomie and I laughed when I bought the place and went inside. We were like oh yep... Neon is obviously Space-Seattle lol
The only problem witht he dream home is once you get a class C ship or anything bigger than a beginner ship, your ship will start parking far from the house. When you have a small ship it will park right in front of the house but like 400 meters away when it's bigger. I had to build an outpost close by just to set a landing pad for my ship.
Are you always overencumbered? Otherwise you should be able to fast travel to an icon by looking at it with your scanner up.
@@XoRandomGuyoX I know that but it's still lame how there's literally a parking spot for your ship right outside your house yet if your ship is too big it parks so far you need to fast travel.
Penthouse is easily number 1 for traders nearby (Lodge infinite storage), natural lighting and no load screen balconies.
IMO the penthouse is better because the dream home lacks windows. They should have put it in the same cell as the outside, like they did with the penthouse.
If the dream home had windows, it would quite probably be number 1.
I really like my Akila Midtown home. Using it as my main base and somewhere to display my plushie collection.
you need to be able to plop an infinite home chest in any of your houses/outposts. absolutely ridiculous and my only major gripe so far
I want to see a mod that adds a landing pad and ship builder kiosk to the dream home would make it perfect even if it was more expensive
I actually really like the kids stuff perk your parents give you gifts regularly and the more money you have the more you send ergo better gifts
Balcony view for the penthouse is out of this world.
It actually bothers me with all the great ship clutter stuff that the houses are just outposts. I would have liked it being like skyrim and buying upgrades.
This is triple true for the Neon one. It's far to expensive for me to craply decorate lol
You forgot the Lodge that has an safe infinite storage and all the crafting and research down in the basement. There is fast travel straight to the lodge. Easily number 1 player home.
The sleep crate was awesome for me. I used it to store the considerable amount of contraband I found on Neon.
That is really the only good reason to have it. A local place to store stuff. At least then you can keep some extra gear there for those times you need to be in Neon, but you don't need it anywhere else. You also have a bed there to get a quick sleep before going out to do stuff. Extra XP! 😉
I was ready for him to plug a video on where to get the stormtrooper armor but then I realized Disney would *NEVER*
i wish you could get the dreamhouse without the starting perk cause the house looks sick but i did not realize how easy it is to get 100k
I bought the Neon luxury suite and i at first thought i went to the wrong place. So expensive for nothing but what id imagine would be an innercity studio crackden
I'm lvl 93 ng+10 for all powers, no cheats. now i want to restart for the home, because i didn't pick any beginning traits...
You get a room on the key when you completevthe crimson fleet questline. Its really just small room that barely fits anything
Your dorm in college was bigger than the sleep crate!? Well la-di-da Mr. fancy private school.
No lol it was shitty. It was just longer than the sleep crate. It had poor heating and no air conditioning or anything.
I don't know why but man i busted out laughing when i saw the storm trooper run in. lmao
10:35 "ease of access" for New Atlantis home is use your scanner and fast travel that way @SwanyPlaysGames
Fun fact you can get in the neon suit for free and decorate. Come down from the sheet where the lightning is hitting and jump from the top
Yeah, I did that too after exploring up there and seeing the suspicious balcony below. It's weird that Bethesda locks the New Atlantis penthouse balcony, which is far higher in the world-space of Jemison, but forgot about that one.
Beware on getting the penthouse and decorating it too soon as New Atlantis resets during the story line at least twice and you will loose everything.
The 2 incidents that create this "apartment cleaning" bug are during the main quest "High Price to Pay" and UC Vanguard quest "Eyewitness" after you have done them you're golden AFAIK.
The bathroom in the sleep crate is hilariously deplorable lmao.
For the player home from the starting perk. The 500 a week doesn't come off the balance of the loan.
4:00 You also get a free workbench and a secret room at The Well apartment. Also, the "Dream Home" holding one of your traits hostage is dumb. I swear monkeys wrote this game.
Dream home have one of the beigest advantage you can build outpost just outside of this home so you can have everything in one spot Dream home and your main base
I didn't think they would even let you decorate the sleep crate I didn't even think to try
Hey, hey, hey, hey, no dissing on the parents, sure the house isn't worth living, but at least you get a free ship! You just have to wait on it. And also, I believe you forgot that you got a room in the Constellation.
And as far as I know the lodge has the only infinite storage container in the game, down in the basement.
@@___.51 There's another one in the room at the very back of the lodge which indicate your room. Though it's a bitch to go there every time when the basement is closer. I said screw that, get a personal outpost at my home address, and my dream home trait.
Gran Gran's Armor isn't a bad gift either. In my game, for whatever reason, it has the environmental defenses of Superior grade armor. The defense was only on par with Refined armor, but it is still better than most things you'd find that early in the game. That said, I imagine some people would farm the Mantis armor for the legendary effects. Personally I look for O2 Filter and Carry Assist on my armor, as I'm often hauling a 1,000 kilos of gear....
Bought the Neon suit, cause my first char is from there and I figured at such a high price point, and being a penthouse, it would be really nice. Then found out I basically bought a NY apartment.
Hey, you could have mentioned the hotel room on Paradiso. Sure, it's 'just' a hotel room but you can come at any time and it's fully equipped. Speaking of which, isn't there an option like in Skyrim to get the apartments furnished? 😭 I certainly won't furnish the apartments myself because I'm too much of a 'monk' for that and unfortunately, like in almost no other game (for whatever reason), there is no 'automatic alignment, log on, adjustment'. P.S. Can you sell the apartments again? 🤔
All other homes are useless when compared to the lodge , the most practical place to stay. All crafting stations, two unlimited storage areas and a bed to rest. Substance over style
Always.
Of the homes with kitchens, how many actually work?
I finished the UC story and the first thing I tried was the kitchen but the oven couldn't cook and while something might have I just assumed the back room in the kitchen was for a cooking station.
I did the UC story for the penthouse and its going to sound stupid but I haven't used it for that reason, imo the houses should have an option to come pre decorated like in skyrim. If I wanted to build my own house I'd build an outpost atleast I can get resources from there
@@exiledwolf9234 or like fallout 3 where you can buy preset decorations and styles at the store.
But no, you want to take a shit in your 200k penthouse? Go mine some stone and build it yourself. Good job bethesda
i kinda wish you could have them pre furnished like they give you a selection of furnishing, instead you gotta find resources and furnish it all yourself which yes is nice but like cmon i wanna be lazy
I had to rewind in the beginning because I thought I saw a stormtrooper and started freaking out thinking of where to get it 😂😂 0:59
I did exactly the same thing when I bought sleep crate, sat on the toilet and looked at the dude outside like wtf haha
I personally put the penthouse in number 1 because of the traders being on the same planet unlike the dream home
Known bug with the UC suite is not getting the fast travel point for it. But here it is just a feature.
You missed two: your room in The Lodge, and your ship
Thanks for the helpful video, buddy
I didn't even know we had player homes :v
The Neon apartment almost looks like Adam Jensen's Apartment from Deus Ex. Just needs the bedroom.
Sleep crate is an awesome role playing option
U do know u can fast travel to the residential area in New Atlantis from ur ship right? Maximum of 2 load screens to get to inside ur apartment the same number u have when u fast travel to the planet that has ur house....
You’re missing one more “player home” - Captain’s Quarters in the Crimson Fleet (obtained for free at completion of the Crimson Fleet questline if you side with the Fleet). It’s not much, barely a step up from a Sleep Cube, but hey, it’s free and conveniently placed to stash and sell contraband.
Yep, I was wondering why he didn't include this in the vid
Lol the penthouse was the first property I saw for sale and I was like ohhh that's a lot
On ships and colonized planets square footage will be very expensive. The tight spaces remind me of The Expanse.
I read ab article that shows the UC being the most popular faction and this I can see being one of the reasons along with the money.
I think that has more to do with the game handholding you up to meet the Vanguard recruiter right at the start, tbh
Yo the parents are by far the best entertainment in the game my dad won a ship and gave it to me he taught me his dad’s famous meatloaf recipe and gave me a crisp colt .45 1911. Then there’s mom who told me about her grand mother who was a uc marine and gave me her old armor, she also gave me an old school backpack that gives plus ten carry weight. They will come visit you at consolation and you can run into them at the club in neon which is hilarious
It would be interesting if you could take them on your ship and go somewhere with them.
Maybe Paradisio
Bethesda needs to raise the amount of credits each vendor has available.
I'd probably be more inclined to use the Dream Home if it was in a system that was under the control of the Freestar Collective. That we can only (apparently?) find it in a barely settled system makes me think only ann introvert who wasn't afraid of pirates would be inclined to use it.
It's on a peaceful planet in neutral territory with literally nothing else there.
My game had the real estate lady in new Atlantis disappear right before I finished the quest line so I just don't have the apartment.
