Dream Home even worth it?

[StopItStepBro]

Before I even hit my first NG+, I’ve been hit with a recurring feeling of wanting to go back and re-pick some traits. I’ve been running UC native which feels surprisingly hollow even with dialogue choices and since your traits are persistent with each NG+, I’ve just debated doing a wipe of my first character so I don’t develop any further and waste the time.

Anyone who’s currently running it find any worth to it as a unique player home? Waste of a trait slot or worth it?

Only if you want a dream house. It's not in any town you're visiting all the time, it's not a common planet, there are no shops nearby, etc. It's just a nice house with lots of room and a good view.

UC native choices do show up now and then, they're just a bit of extra dialogue on rare occasion, useful once or twice but mostly just flavor. But that's true for all of the background traits. You can always just buy off the trait and demand to no longer be a citizen, but you could also just ignore it.

You can always just not take any traits at all, they really don't make a significant difference.

I took it for my second playthrough and its a waste of a trait slot.

Its a great looking place, absolutely. But you have no reason to visit it and you can't put any services there (like a landing pad) that would make it worthwhile.

I used it a lot at the start for storage but now that I have a ship with 16k storage I only use it to store all the contraband I'm hording, and to set up displays of the stuff I have collected in my travels.
In 431 hours of play time I haven't had the bug that other players have had with the other homes and apartments where all of your furniture and items vanish, so that's a bonus I guess.

I've had that trait twice and never used it. I like the penthouse apt you get at the end of the terramorph story, and it's right near the spawn in point for the Residential District, making it far more convenient that the dream home.

Also Bethesda made a change so that your big ships can land on the landing pad. A change they made in the last patch I guess? It wasn't like that at launch, big ships would land aways out from the home making it so you couldn't use items in your cargo hold for crafting.

Who needs a house, when we have spaceships?

Dream House = waste of trait slot.
To be fair: most traits in this game aren't good.

They still land out from the home if they're above a certain size.

It doesn't affect crafting since you always have access to your ship's cargo hold when crafting no matter how far away it is.

If you like building and decorating then it's worth it.

The cons for me:
- Near absolutely nothing so you have to travel to sell or buy anything
- The interior is a separate cell so you can't look outside which annoys me

That second point is what I really hate about it. A house with a great view that you can only see if you go outside/the balcony...

Dream home is very nice, but ...
- ng+ makes setting up a home very iffy
- its not much better than UC house reward, and UC home is in a hub where you do stuff, and you don't have to pay it off (its not much, but its not 0)
- the planet for the dream home and terrain around it kinda sucks. If you could drop an outpost 50 yards outside it, it would be great. but its 300 which is just too far to place some yard coolness (like the large landing pad!).

My take on the personality traits is to role play them. Few of them are super good long term, and none of them are important long-term in NG+. Terra firma is about the only one I say is fixed for me. The other 2 ... RP.

- Dream Home does not allow any resource production.
- Dream Home (like all the homes) is not connected to ship inventory.)
- You have to build storage containers, which the containers suck.
- Dream Home (like all homes) have no furnished option.

So yeah vanilla Dream Home is not really a good perk. Which as Doombringer pointed out most perks you can get suck.

Now once the mods start rolling out this could change DRASTICALLY to being worth it.

It's ok apart from the fact if your ship is on the large side it won't park near the house but about 400-500m away, making transfer of items to and from the ship impossible. I decorated it for kicks but building an outpost on a nice location works better if you're into crafting etc and need access to your ship cargo.

[Yunalesca Darkfold]

Looks great but honestly chances are your going to use a outpost or your ship more then the dream home. Your only going to want it if your hearts really set on it.

I only like it as RPG background and that my character start with a debt. Starving Sculptor which try to make a living. Its not a character which I would play in NG+. Its just make sense that all my versions had a house on this planet. Its pretty but be careful because of the sunken items bug if you don’t fix it for yourself (drop items, leave the house, quick save and reload out the house, go back in cell, this should fix it)

[Cutlass Jack]

The only traits that are worth it to me long term are ones that bring Roleplay opportunities. The Dream home only has very minimal ones that become none at all once you pay it off.

Meanwhile 'Kid Stuff' was the gift that kept on giving. You pay the same 500/week but get tons of RP stuff with your family and a fully decorated room to sleep in. Along with lots of other gifts including a unique starship.

My second character, the one who took Dream Home, also took 'Wanted' and 'Neon Street Rat.' Both of which turned out great. So I can't complain too much about the home I never use.
