Oh, I forgot to finish my concern: if a player will store their extra items in some container in the town, or on the ground, they can get their items randonly removed after a certain update to the map? So, does it make sense to level up the character or stash some loot somewhere now, or one of the further updates will/may remove it? (Either because of the changes to the map, if items will be stored on the ground, or from a container, if it's initial contents, or how the containers work in general, would be changed later, or that particular container would get moved/removed/door to the room with it will be locked, etc. in one of the further updates, if items would be stored in some container.)
Also the way of how the containers and items left on the ground should work: in the original game both were stored forever (if items would be left in some corpse, the corpse would decay over time and the items would be left on the ground, where the corpse was), but come to think of it, logically the townsfolk should notice the items that were left on the ground at some point and snitch them (either use for themselves, or put into their own containers (chests or shelves in their shelters) or sell to a local trader (much like the little kids in Den used to do - whenever they stole some item from your Inventory, it would later appear among the goods sold by one of the local traders) and both mechanics are good in their own way, so maybe there should be some system that would define if the container is owned by someone and if it's contents may change over time (looted items like stimpacks or food items get replenished, and added items may vanish - as if the owner of the container took them) or if it is safe to store your goods in it? But then there should be a way to clearly tell if the container is maintained by someone, or is it safe for stashing your own goods - like, a type of the container, or if it's locked (and be able to lock containers with your own lock or even place a trap on them to prevent anyone from stealing your items from it).
