End of MQ : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 10:46 am

Oh my GOD!
Really!

Even after the fuss that was kicked up after FO3, Bethesda decides that the game will end at the end of the main quest, AGAIN! WTH!

Is there any news of a DLC that will extend the game past the end of the main quest, or actually, any mods at all at the moment that let you do this????

Well, yeah, its... the end. :mellow:

But it doesn't have to be, that's my point!
In FO3, after you installed Broken Steel, you could play on past the end of it, but in this NOOOO

Well, the real problem with FO3's ending is that it gave you an insane choice, and still does. Besides, driving out any major party in New Vegas would probably involve a DLC as well. Multiple DLCs, actually, depending on your choice.

Beth will make a dlc pack that allows you to continue don't worry it'll just cost you a few caps.

There is nothing that gets spoiled in my post, but it does hint about the ending. But like I said, i don't really spoil anything.

Spoiler

Yeah the ending is just flat out stupid. It's left open (I've beaten it twice with two factions and both of them were open endings) to where the Courier could keep going, but the developers (Yes, I am specifically pinning this on them) left it with a [censored] closed ending so they can sell you a DLC later that lets you keep playing. However it is only a matter of time before PC users get their mod with the open ending. I would have no Problem if my character died, like in F3 before Broken-Steal, but the fact I told the people(s) i was with "I'll be on my way." and I cant keep playing, just pisses me off. Hell, if my character was shot in the face for absolutely no reason what so ever I would be fine with it, but that's not the case.

It just grinds my gears that their purposely doing this so they can make money in the future with DLC's.If only there was a true ending.

at the end I thought was gonna get shot in the head again, I'm not to bothered by it though. fallout 3 made me realize I should take it slow and not rush through the main quest.

Obsidian has been pretty clear for the last several months that the game will have a definitive ending. Although you may not have finished the game in a way that resulted in major changes, let me assure that several endings result in the kind of world shattering changes that wouldn't be feasible to script into a post-game situation. http://www.strategyinformer.com/news/8998/obsidian-explain-why-fallout-new-vegas-has-a-definitive-ending a link that describes exactly what Obsidian was thinking. TL:DR Obsidian can't script every possible ending into the game, therefore the game ends.

And didn't the giant "END OF GAME THAT WAY ---->" warning suffice? Seriously, it's a giant warning that lets you know that you shouldn't continue unless you're really sure you're done with the game.

Yeah, I saw it! It's just still like ARGGG!!! LET ME PLAY though

I mean, they manage to when you wipe out a faction in the game, have them never appear on the "map" again, so I just don't get why they can't let you continue lol!

There is a mod that supposedly lets you play past the ending. I'm not saying it doesn't work, I just haven't tried it.

I don't know the rules of linking to off site files here, so I'm just pm'ing you the link.

Post #659 of: WAAAAAAAHH ZOMG IT ENDS!??!?!?

This was well know and mentioned in most of the stuff I saw about the game prior to its release.

what is funny is Obsiden (who developed the game NOT Bethesda they just distroed it as they are the rights holder) said it would have a definate ending people complained about that in Fallout 3 and yes it is a open world (means you can go where you like) but it is still a fallout game. Fallout 1 2 3 (until the broken steel) all had definate ending endings. NO PLAY after. This is not Elder Scrolls this is fallout and every fallout game had a definate ending (FO3 did till Broken Steel). IMHO if you don't like it play something else as this game is a STORY. /rant off

Sorry had to get that off my chest as a long time Fallout game.

Ah, I know what you mean, and I know Obsidian said that there would be a closed ending. I'm just pointing out that it annoys me as I wanted to rule the Mojave Wasteland

I found the ending rather underwhelming as well and didn't really see how having a set of end slides is somehow mutually exclusive with continuing play. Will seem even sillier once DLC comes out if you can't continue past the ending which I assume, as someone else upstream pointed out, is probably the real point of it all anyway.
