Quick question-
I pre ordered this game and will get it regardless
I was scrolling through the achievement list for this game, and noticed an achievement (can't name due to possible spoiler) that emphasized "collect all ________ in one play through". Does this mean that once you beat the game, you can't free roam? or is the collection supposed to happen before you beat the final mission? will this game be like borderlands where you get to choose when to start a 2nd playthrough?

PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPP!

I believe it's been stated that once you beat the final mission, you can still roam the world killing mutants, bandits, and performing side missions. I believe this achievement just means collect all of that specified item before you complete the final mission of the game and gain the ability to forever wander the wastes.

You can continue after beating the game, so I'd assume you'd have to do whatever before you beat the game although you may be able to get those trophies after you beat the game I'm not really sure on that either way seems fairly plausible.

Its probably normal game speak for 'not via multiple play throughs'. Basically if you can free-roam afterwords that would still count, I would assume, but starting a 'new' game and finding stuff you didn't find before doesn't 'stack up' with your last game. If there is an after-game free roam I highly doubt the last mission is a cutoff point for it. At least that's generally not how that kind of thing works. Could be different of course but I still highly doubt it. People tend to put a bit to much thought into the exact wording.

i read somewhere that some time after you clear out a "dungeon" different and stronger enemies eventually take that place over and you can go back and clean the place out again..more killin and more lootin.. :flamethrower:

C'mon, they've stated over and over that it will be open but direct, and that means no, not open entirely.

You'll be able to explore the area you're in, but not go across mountains or valleys out into the endless world. You can see that when you see the clips of how they texture everthing, you'll notice that the tops of canyons are basically textureless, because there's no way of getting there. So you'll have place to travel, but it's not an open world game, and it's not supposed to be
