I won't reveal any of the story or how it progresses, but i completed the story line after the final battle, and i go to the main menu and hit continue, and it just has me do the last part over again?

I want to go back and go around and explore around some more, there's a lot I haven't seen yet... are we not allowed to do that after completing the story?

More than that, I want to go back to town and see all of the changes that have taken place resulting from the end of the story and that last battle, is that not possible either?

No, as stated 6 billion times on here hehe. It is not possible to carry on once you've done the main quest.

No. Once you finish the game that's it. No more.

Just wait a few weeks, the DLC is going to fix the problem. If it doesn't I can bet they won't continue to sell copies of the game. The only people who are OK with the definitive ending are the small percentage of hardcoe, lifetime Fallout fans. (AKA, these forum members)

that's total [censored], they need to add a disclaimer somewhere to that, i wouldn't of wasted the past 7 days playing this game if i'd known that i can't continue after the ending... really pissed off now

So i guess i have to stop playing the game and wait for the DLC to be able to continue, any date on the DLC?

well just keep that save file and when/if dlc comes out that allows you to play on when complete, just reload, do the last bit again and there ya go!

I didn't think they were actually doing a dlc for it though???

This - it only becomes a problem when the ending is obviously just meant to be a placeholder for DLC, as in Fallout 3. In this case, I'm not so sure. We'll see.

What's wrong with starting over from scratch? That's all the fun...

It was long stated that the game would have a definite ending. Thats why they gave you a big and loud message before the point of no return.

They aren't.




There is no problem, they said they were not going to make a DLC that let you continue after the end, there is no argument.

Reload the save you made before the warning.

I've never played FO1 or FO2 and I'm okay with it ending. It's a story that goes to completion, not beyond.

They need to add a disclaimer for something that was up on the internet over a month before the game was released, along with explanations as to why they decided to do that?

I bet DLC does not fix it.

I bet the contuine to sell copy's, why? Because its a dang good game, thats why.

People, STOP FREAKING crying. the game gives you a HUGE WARNING YOU ARE AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN!

Please, STOP following the main quest and go do something else.

*poof* issue solved. *poof*

I would really love to see any reason to "fix" (if it aint broke don't fix it) this issue, when there is no reason to. Simply do no complete the main quest.

It was WELL KNOWN many, many moons ago that the game would have a hard ending.

There is NO reason to keep playing after the ending, because the whole point is to choose what path you want to take, and how you want to shape the wasteland.

Who to side with, who to kill and who to ignore.

After the main quest there is NOTHING to do, no reason to do any quests, because by that time you are max level and there is no longer any point. The story of this rpg ends after the last main quest.

If there is no more story, there is no more levels and nothing to do why want to keep playing?
Make a new character? Or STOP the main quest and go explore and quest.

I don't call myself a ''hardcoe'' Fan, although i'hve played every Fallout game. Buuut, i don't know why are people not ok with the definitive ending? It gives the whole thing some wheight instead of just, i dunno, replacing the Ncr Troops on hoover Dam with Legioneers (if you played on Caesars side, wich i did) and nothing else changes in the wastes. Like this the Ending can be epic instead of just being boring and foreseeable. I like the feeling of thinking ''Yeah, i have changed something, i'm the big hero (Or the biggest [censored] ever)'' more than just: ''Meh, thats all?''

Yeah they give you a warning there's a 'point of no return' but still... i'm just left wondering why the hell they would even do this.. this basically is ensuring that their game has 0 replay value, once we reach the end we'll just delete it and go play another game, there's no incentive to do ALL that work all over again, just to have it end, yet again.

And they have to do a DLC to let us continue playing. I originally bought fallout 3 and just sat there with a save right before the purifier and stopped playing until the DLC came out to let us continue, guess i have to do that again, so f'ing sad... i was really hoping new vegas wouldn't be a repeat of that... oh well

Guess i can just rar up my save files and archive em and delete the game until we have a DLC soon.... le sigh :/

They did, its called a

HUGE FREAKING POP UP THAT TELLS YOU, THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why stop playing? don't finish the main quest? Problem solved.



They are not.



This.



This. X over 9000

I bet he/she just clicked right on through the warning and didn't even read it.

No way you miss it, you have to READ IT AND CLICK on a option.


Tervist

edit that fast before a mod gets you for censor avoid.

As I see it, its the journey here that is the most interesting thing in the game, instead of rushing to the end by following the main storyline.

When I did my first playthrough, I purposefuly didnt go out of my way to explore everything to leave more content for future play throughs while following other branches of the main quest.

Whhattt? ummm, im sure people will still continue playing, just load the save before the last mission. I'm sure they will continue selling the game.

It took you 7 days to finish the main quest? :sadvaultboy:

This is really easy. Just finish the main quest, watch the ending video (ooooh, aaaah), and then.... reload the save you made just before the final mission, and then go around & explore.




No, that's not possible. They didn't program all the changes that could happen for each different way you can end things. That'd be a heck of alot of work for not much effect.

Funny, lots of other games have been hugely successful without playing after the end. Like Halo. And Mass Effect 1. And Call of Duty.

Frankly, for most gamers, freeplay after the end isn't necessary. Broken Steel only came about because *everyone* panned the game for having a terrible ending. Gaming publications, gamers, everyone. Here the response is pretty much the other way around; most people are much more pleased at the ending here, except for a few hardcoe TES and FO3 fans who demand freeplay after the end despite the whole "YOU ARE APPROACHING THE ENDGAME, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING LEFT TO DO, GO DO IT NOW!" message box of doom.

Anyway, AFAIK Obsidian has said they won't do a Broken Steel style DLC. I have to hope they hold true to that and don't cave to the people who want to render the ending worthless.



They did add a disclaimer. When you go to do the final quest, a message box pops up and says "You're approaching the climactic final battle. If you have anything you want to do in the wasteland, do so now, because you'll be locked into your course."

If you just mindlessly clicked that message box without reading it, I have no sympathy for you. In much the same way I don't have sympathy for people who ignore clearly posted warnings and stick their arms in giant industrial meat grinders.



I dunno, Kiralyn, was there ever any game that has had that level of postgame content? Oblivion certainly didn't, unless you count removing the Oblivion gates. Fo3 didn't, even with BS, though it made an attempt at it. ME2 didn't, Morrowind didn't... The biggest game with "after the game" content I can think of is Fallout 2, and there it was basically one huge joke, what with the Fallout 2 hint book item, using a random Vault City terminal for 30,000 xp "quest", and hearing random junkies or VC citizens congratulate you on blowing up the Enclave.

Exactly, because there is only one ending and you can do all side quests in a single play, even though doing some blocks others, and each side you pick to go with NCR or C.L for example, doesn't have its own ending and dialog.

Oh wait......

There is way more re-play ability in this game, open your eyes. Just calm down, chill out and think about it.

4 major endings, along with all the minor changes from doing quests?

Yes they had better do a DLC and f'ing fix this, and hopefully soon. Wish we could return software, i'd demand a refund for this crap, and i'm fairly sure there's quite a few folks that feel the same way about this "so called ending"

That's harsh.

Get Seconded.

Nope, not gonna happen. they flat out stated it will not happen.

Either shelf it, or sell it.

This game is amazing, and has plenty of re-play ability in it.

If you do not like it, let me make this VERY clear to you.

THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!

This is the game, Beth and these forums are NOT going to do ANYTHING about this. This was planned.
