I imagin this will keep coming up until they fix it and give the fans what they want..

But the "fans" dont want this

NOT all of us want this

Sounds like it's your fault, for not making multiple saves in different slots. XD

What, are you saying that I have more than 1 save slot? Preposterous!

i know. I just wanted to beat the game and i didn't read up on it to much my mistake now im just going back to fallout 3 and ill just wait for another DLC that will allow you to play through :/

why wouldn't you want it?

I'm utterly baffled by this. You're going back to play Fallout 3, but you don't want to start Fallout: New Vegas again?

It'd make the endings essentially useless.

were did they say this?

They've said this in a lot of interviews, try googling it.

Because Freeplay is pointless in a game where the draw is quests and writing, rather than grinding.

Case in point: Fallout 2, Mass Effect 2, and Fallout 3. The first two examples were strongly story driven but also have freeplay after the end. After you beat "the game", there is little impetus to keep playing. A few N7 missions you didn't do beforehand, or listening to drugged up Reno hokers talk about how you blew the oil rig isn't much fun after maybe ten minutes.

Fallout 3, meanwhile, eventually allowed FP. And there, it worked. Because the primary draw of FO3 was sandbox exploration with a bunch of dungeons and exploding raiders/super mutants/Enclave/ghouls, rather than story and writing.

New Vegas is not Fallout 3. New Vegas' strength is its writing and choices, much like its predecessors. FP after the end is nearly worthless here because the major draw is how the quests interact with the ending. NV has almost no pure dungeons; most locations have quests associated with them.

What, do you really want to go and shoot another five fiends in the head? Really? What's the point? It's not like Fo3 where there was a great variety in enemy-held locations (since most locations in the game were dungeons rather than more meaningful places.) New Vegas simply isn't a huge sandbox to play in; there's not enough sand (dungeons) to build anything. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, since NV's strenghts come from its writing and choices and replayability. Note that replayability means reasons to start a new game, not "reasons to continue one character for 9001 hours"

The only way Freeplay would even work from a purely gameplay standpoint and ignoring how it cheapens the endings by making your actions meaningless is if it included a dungeon pack with a bunch of locations filled with loot and enemies.

I have a proposition. Every time any of us sees a post demanding free play at the end of the game, we reply with;
"It has been announced that there will be no free play after the main quest. Ever."
Every time anyone replies to that thread with more whining, we reply with;
"It has been announced that there will be no free play after the main quest. Ever."
Every time someone tries to troll the thread, we reply with;
"It has been announced that there will be no free play after the main quest. Ever."
Nothing added, no caveats, no personal opinions, just;
"It has been announced that there will be no free play after the main quest. Ever."

Eventually, the point will be drilled through.

All who agree with Tricky's proposition say "Aye".

All who disagree, shut up.

(Mods, I'm joking).

Aye!

There not making a dlc to continue the game

You can't go back to Operation Anchorage either.

Although I do want some Ghost people clothes.

Though I'm not sure of the relevance, there were plenty of complaints about that too. That we couldn't go back into the sim.

Not that there was anything to do after completing it, except get the intel and get a somewhat disappointing perk.

Seriously did everyone just think it was like a big joke whenever the message popped up that pretty much said,

"Hey if you go any further you're screwed cuz u won't be able to play any more afterwards."

They've already stated before the game was even released that there isn't going to be a "Broken Steel" type dlc for this game so get over it.

because i got fallout new vegas before fallout 3

OK I now know that there will be no ending to the game. i'm just gonna restart, at least the game is AMAZING!

No.
