Thanks for the reply. I don't think the main quest was too it was okay for me at least. I liked the way it ended because it didn't make your character a complete superhero, by having him make such a huge difference such as taking down a whole mutant army singlehandedly. Yes, I think it was very stupid when you sent somebody else in the purifier and still died. I wish they had said more of what had happenend to the places of the wasteland. All and all I thought it was fine ending.

Another question what happens when you use the FEV vile? Are there still super-mutants in broken steel?

What if the beer has gone flat, the cheese doodles are soggy and Dazed and Confused is on VHS but you only have a DVD player?

Well I did in my lastest playthrough. I've got all the DLC installed so that might effect it. Not sure either way.

I like it.

I like it as it highlights the accomplishment I as a player have gone through - and as it is definite, it offers better possibilities for more comprehensive story conclusions (without the fear of the continuation feeling awkward because it likely can not take every quirk the different endings affect into account), which - again - further nourish the sense of accomplishment without which the experience is lacking. Also, it enhances the replayvalue and encourages differing characterbuilds as not all endings are possible with one single character (or so I'm led to believe). If the ending is throughly planned, retconning it with a BS style DLC would be a mistake and would actually just vain the hard work done with the ending. And that's my opinion. Though, that's not to say open ended games can't have good endings, but I'm happy with the solution and hope there will not be a BS style retconning this time around.

broken steel gives you that option. due to the changed ending. or atleast I've been told so

Then I'd Falcon Punch whatever god it is that screwed me over.
Then I'd take on the title "Count Of The Universe" and create a planet of frog-people which only create good RPG's as a form of entertainment.

This.

Like I said before, if they just added an option to free roam after the credits, just for the fun of it. that would be fine withme. I do agree with your point on replay value though.

If they truly do this well, and replay value is high. well I could live that lol

Thank you :cookie:

I hardly ever use companions. I just happened to have RL-3 and dogmeat when i did the purifier.

I see what your going for and I don't object. But what I don't understand is, if there was a freeroam mode without the story ending affecting it, what would be the point? If nothing changes after the credits, what would be the point of a feature that lets you do stuff that you would normally do anyway? Why not just do it before ending the story (if ending it at all)?

What happens when you use the FEV vile? Are there still super-mutants in broken steel? Sorry to
double-post, but I would really appreciate an answer.

Nothing. Nothing at all.

I guess your right, good point lol, so basically at this point I just hope the ending is good haha

Fallout 3: Wtf? Now it has to end?

Fallout New Vegas: Finally, it's about to end.

That is retarted. Does it explain that the vile failed? You should at least get negative reactions from the BoS, like when you're walking by they should say "I can't believe you sided with those bastards."

I voted for all three options, because i could.

I think its good to have a definite ending.

if you drink four or five bottles of aqua pura I think you die actually. atleast thats what it says on the fallout wikia: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Aqua_pura

All that happens is that if you drink it messes around with your stats and if you consume to much you die. A few "consequences" occur like in Underworld you see a couple of nameless ghouls ill. To be honest it was pretty poorly handled.

To my recollection, the "use FEV" ending tells you what a cowardly evil bastard you are and that now everything in the CW dies. I don't remember the BoS reactions to this, but you're drafted anyway to do their job.

Extremely poorly. I never drink aqua pura like ever. I hope they don't do another broken steel thing.

I prefer a good definitive end like Fallout 1 and 2. I expect we'll get full closure at the end of this game unlike the last one.

The point of having the game end is so that you play the game again (differently) right after. The problem with Fallout 3 was that once you beat the game, you didn't want to play again because there wasn't any reason to want to. Thus why people wanted the game to go on forever. With Fallout: New Vegas, it seems like the replay value will be very high which is all anyone should really want when it comes to a RPG.

It'll be annoying to ignore, but I'll have to put up with it.

Eh, like I've said before. I'll see the ending I want 'very good' ending equivalent, then I'll have a memory seizure and pretend that I AM playing after the ending.

Nothing wrong with a definitive ending as long as its done correctly FO3's original ending was just god awful and only had two very basic outcomes I'm really happy with Obsidian so far and I have all the confidence in the world in them giving us a proper ending depending on our respective adventures in New Vegas, You finish one story and start one anew I see no problem with it. :tops:
