ok so no worries if this is something that can't be helped, but i made the honest mistake of joining the brotherhood faction without stopping to consider what impact it would have on my own role as faction leader with a private base (where i was stupid enough to stash all my good items). i decided i would rather lead my own faction so i went to san francisco to resign. after managing to get out of the bunker i went onto the world map and noticed my cave base had disappeared... am i correct in assuming i sort of bugged the game out and that stuff is gone forever?
