What would you get out of it that you can't get simply by not doing the final quest? The only thing I can think of is Lanius' helmet and sword. And LR makes that concern moot since you get even better versions of that gear in the divide.

Immersion? But is it really any more immersive if nothing of importance changes in the game world, compared to the battle not starting until you're ready? Really?

I mean, I wouldn't mind a post-ending expansion that had a significant amount of content. However, a DLC, as we saw with Broken Steel, simply doesn't have the budget to change much. And that's with FO3, where there was pretty much only one way to do things anyway, versus NV which has five primary endings and a whole lot of secondary location and/or quest based endings.



Except that "DLC" would end up having to be huge and expensive, simply because there's so many variables to keep track of in the ending. NCR/House/Legion/Yesman/Yesman anarchy, how you handled various minor factions and quests, etc. To compare, we only got to see the outcome of our actions in FO1 during FO2, simply because they were that far reaching. And the endings in FNV outdo those in FO1 in terms of what changes. A full on expansion is pretty much the minimum you'd need to do NV's endings justice.

BS in FO3 worked because of two reasons: The ending we got was stupid ([INT]Fawkes, you just helped me deal with an irradiated area two quests ago, etc etc), and the ending we got simply doesn't change all that much unless you put the virus in. And that option was watered down most heavily.

No, that's not entirely true - bringing water to DC should have totally changed everything, but that sort of change is outside the purview of a $10 DLC. It's too in depth to handle in so short a time.

Each of FNV's primary endings changes more than FO3's ending does, which means it's even less likely to work.

If you really want to see the results of your actions in the Mojave, petition Beth to get Obs back for FNV2.

The ending of the game describes the distant future of the Mojave, so there is some room in there where nothing happens in the immediate future. And maybe whatever faction you sided with, it would be cool if you continued playing and if you did anything against that faction, that they'd assassinate you or something were you couldn't escape. .

I totally agree with OP, I have yet to finish the game and I find it annoying you would have to avoid the Main quests,
Cos when you get to a point where you don't know what to do next, You are forced to roam around looking for side quests while you have the chance to do them,
I'd really like to see the after-effects of the main quest and have my quest log less clogged up for a change

Really? This again? Ok well the easy solution is dont do the dam mission
I get what you guys that want this are saying, and is it possible? Sure, if obsidian had the time to basically plot out a dozen different ending worlds, which I imagine they would be so overjoyed to spend months on, I mean its not like they need to work on Skyrim or anything (sarcasm). Look guys, its not gonna happen, live with it.

However I can see if you are NCR or Legion that the palette would be a wee bit thinner. With yesman, you could almost have alien invasion and I wouldnt be surprised.... because if he was the canon choise, giant puddings from outer space makes sense too.

I'm hoping Fallout: 3's story goes down that The LW did in fact sacrifice him/herself for the Capital Wasteland, because that's a good story. I'm seriously hoping Broken Steel would be considered non-canon (if it were ever to even be considered).

Every story has an ending, and I see no purpose in allowing gameplay after the MQ.

I dislike PC elitists who only think about themselves instead of sharing gaming with console players. Shame on you. All you do is starting a console war.
