After my first playthrough I was excited to star exploring and finding every detail of the game. Was very upset when the game just ended after I took the dam. I was wondering if honest hearts is going to be like broken steel where you get to continue the main story line. Will it?

No there will be no dlc EVER to go past the ending
and I'm happy about that broken steel made a bad game worst
(please don't start a fallout 3 vs nv this is just my opinion)

Nope, it'll just be another expansion like Dead Money.

All lose ends were tied, and anything that can be asked about what happens after endgame, your decisions in various quests, both mainline and side, should explain what happens. Pretty much a closed book as far as continuing after endgame goes.

I just don't like the never-ending thing because NPCs don't shut up about the battle, and because the book never really closes. When broken steel starts, you could technically just retire. That's all I've been wanting, not even to just continue exploring after Hoover Dam, but to just retire. With the majority of companions/factions gone, what would there be to do in the Mojave? Not much. It was your fault for gonig after the battle. But atleast I can just chill in my Lucky 38 suite and just look calmly down at the world, awaiting the new DLC to take me away from this place. Hey, that's a perfect idea! The story should continue, but the companions who do stuff/leave should leave, any destroyed faction should leave, all things should play out, and all faction quests are completed. This way, "completed' couriers can just retire to the Strip.


But what am I rambling about, the whole "your future will always dangle in front of you" seems to be whats in. I don't know about you, but I have yet to read a book by an author who purposely didn't print the last chapter of a book.

The Battle of Hoover Dam is the last chapter of the book. Then, there's the ending slides, which are the epilogue.

I would be inclined to agree with you... :shrug:
