If you want to play past the ending just down load one of the mods that enables it.

No one is saying they wouldn't like a post MQ DLC (but I'm sure some people would) that would make all the decisions matter and work, but the chances that a post MQ DLC will due justice to the MQ is pretty low.

Why does everyone say that you could do lots let us run the lucky 38 (independent) or rebuild the damn an charge for power (Legion) or hunt down the legion(NCR) they can make it have one of three cont. quests according to who you sided with in main game I would welcome a dlc like this my biggest disappointment was taking new vegas for myself and then being able to control nothing at all i wanted to run that place man lol

I literaly lol'ed.

There is a mod that lets you run the Lucky38.

I can't play the first DLC because I'm stuck at the end point. I'm really angry about this, because I had almost 200 hours of gameplay. The next DLC will come back in the Mojave? Thanks.

No DLC will allow you to go back to the Mojave or to the DLC area if you're at the final quest at the Dam or the Legate's Camp.
You only have yourself to blame for not keeping multiple saves and listening to the pop up before the final quest.
Besides, it's an RPG, it's about trying out different characters, so go roleplay as something opposite to your current character.

OMG! Thanks for the reply. I must restart all

Join Legion this time. :deal:

The subject that won't die..QQ. While there may be SOME people that would be interested in a broken steel dlc for Vegas, there seem to be a lot more that aren't interested. I like that there is an end. If you really want to keep going, there are mods for that. I would rather they spent the time/money making something new and interesting, rather than something that I can do all by my lonesome by simply not going to the dam. I am now on my 5th character and I really do not see what the big deal is about either making a new one if you somehow managed not to save before going to the dam. It's not like it would take as long on a second play through, besides you might enjoy supporting a different faction. So can we just stop beating the broken steel horse already?

I would love a broken steel dlc for nv. I know ppl say nv has different endings which is all good but why then is broken steel rated one of the best dlc's?

Broken Steel was well received because it fixed the massive plothole and copout that was Fallout 3 ending. Two different companions that are immune to radiation and we cannot tell them to start the project just because someone HAS to die? Really? One of them being immune to radiation was a damn PLOTPOINT two missions before the ending and dev team convienently ignored the whole thing. The ending was simply illogical forced drama that had almost no effect to the outside world. A couple of water caravans was enough to incorporate the new ending since there were pretty much no sidequests that had anything to do with the plotline of the mainquest and didnt need to be removed or modified.

New Vegas ending on the other hand HAS an effect on the Mojave wasteland. Incorporating the endings into post-end gameplay would take a lot of work. Also a huge chunk of NV sidequests are somehow linked to NCR vs Legion plotline and would become illogical if player was allowed to continue. Boone's sidequest? Gannon's sidequest? Half of Strip sidequests? Pretty much every NCR/Legion sidequest? They all would be illogical after the ending and would have to be removed or HEAVILY modified to make any sense. If player was allowed to continue after the ending, so much content would be removed that there wouldn't be much to do for anymore. It is one of the drawbacks of making sidequests interwine with other events but in my opinion it's still better than having the sidequests exist in vacuum like in Fallout 3.

In short Broken Steel fixed Fallout 3's broken ending while New Vegas ending isn't broken and therefore doesn't need fixing.

I am using a mod that lets me return to Sierra Madre. I finally have a use for the pre-war money.

That's not true. There have also been complaints on the STALKER forums about the end of some of the STALKER games. Those games also lend themselves to open play and fortunately, they also allow mods to allow free play after the end of the game.

Bob

Because there was only one possible ending for Fallout 3, sure you could pick who to sacrifice but it hardly altered the ending...that made it easy to make a dlc that continued the game because they didn't have to take into account the dozens of actions the player could have taken. FO3 was fun but extremely linear, New Vegas takes into account the plethora of actions you've taken and thats why a DLC that continues the story is not going to happen.

You could have sided with the Enclave.

Bob

We really need a sticky thread to stop over debated topics.

Even though nobody would read it, but it would help to just provde a link to a thread that has all the problems, arguments, and repercussions of said ideas and not have to rewrite them each week.

4 possible endings
4 new after main quest possible world
A lot of memory would be needed.

What I fail to understand is if people want the game to go on or want to return to a place that is not possible with the vanilla game why not just download the MOD. And for those XBOX and the PS3 users - they need to contact their particular networks and get them to allow the posting of MODs because, according to Bethesda, there should be no problem getting them to work on those platforms. Indeed, it may now be possible for mods to be used on the XBOX 360 using a USB Key and there are methods posted on the net for getting them to the PS3, though both of those appear to be somewhat messy.

Bob

It didn't really make any difference, basically it said it killed everyone in the wasteland besides pure humans and then after the Broken Steel DLC there was no real visible effect...same as if you chose to sacrifice yourself there was no real point because you woke up. Broken Steel basically nullified all of the decisions you made in FO3's end game in favor of letting you play on. Basically that serves as a perfect reason NOT to half ass it and make a DLC to play on after the game ends in NV.

Unless a mass boycott by most users was created it wouldn't happen besides most of the market they care about would not be motivated enough or care enough if we sit down and explained to them.

Would take a lot of advertising of this idea.

That's really too bad as it adds an enormous amount of replay value

Bob

Yeah, but they won't side with you.

Yes it would be easier than one for nv but very possible.I know it would would be a big dlc but a dlc I would be willing to buy.maybe the demand is not there but I think it would be great
