The fun can't come to an end.

"It was all a dream/simulation."

.... I would make a youtube video of smashing my pip-boy.

most people want an open ending fingers crossed it is

With a sledgehammer and the song 'He's hackin' and smackin' and whackin'' playing in the background.

I'm pretty sure that out of the 4 Fallout games we've have, 2 of them have had closed endings. Fallout 1 and New Vegas.

Both Fallout 2 and 3 were open ended.

Most likely something heart breaking stuff. I hope it ain't our heart that get broken.

PC does heroic stuff. Sad music plays and credits roll...

You defeated the super villain!
Now go wander around the map.

Open ending 100 times yes- please, please make it an open ending and let my hard worked for char keep on doing her thing in the Wasteland !!!

Not opposed to an epic main quest end cinematic though- but let us continue after . Especially after the sneak peaks of what amazing things we can do in this game, like self building our own compound by hand, amazing, thankyou so much for that !!

Personally I anyways like main quests the better the less forced to embark on they they feel, but that`s another matter.

Played FA3 with Broken Steel expansion that allows you to continue after MQ and still cried at the end where-....

slight spoilers-------------------------------------------

........................................ I chose that my brave, loyal, beloved, supermutant friend stepped into the horrible fray at the end of the main quest.......................

Cried even more when the game continued to Broken Steel after the epic MQ end movie - though happy tears- and even my stoic huspand standing behind me had a tiny tear shed for the occasion.

Not finished FA New Vegas so far cause I don`t want to "finish" a char in that game with no continued play after end, silly, yeah, as there is even a mod for that but it does not change the wasteland to your choises in the end, so never wanted to go there, and not invested as far into the MQ on any char as in FA3 as a result, though gameplay wise I somewhat like New Vegas better in some aspects.

Cheers, Open ended please , and thanks for a great looking game in advance !

This. I am hoping for an open ending myself too. I dislike closed endings quite a bit.

It is a fallout game so it needs to have ending slides that show how your action affected the world.

I'd rather have it end after an epic final quest rather than continue on forever where nothing ever changes, makes a difference or notices your actions. Have it be like FNV where the game makes a hard save for you and informs you of the point of no return. Or like FO2 where the game effectively ended after the main quest but you could still walk around killing things if you really wanted.

I don't mind having the slides at the ending of the Mainquest but I want to still continue the game afterwards. I strongly disliked FNV's ending simply because I couldn't continue playing unless I load a save previous to the ending.

It'll have a closed ending because "storytelling".

In open world games like this always prefer an open ending. Otherwise it feels like you've just got the best gear and then you can't use it because you've finished. Bit like Assassins creed 1. You can only use the best equipment for like one mission IIRC.

I want to be able to continue side quests after the main quest.
