By Meridia, not this one again?

No.
Never.
Not gonna happen.

..Even after I used the previous incarnation of this thread as an example when talking about extremely silly threads..
Sheesh.

It wouldn't be to hard. For Oblivion, once you escort Martin into the temple and you've seen him go through the door, just add another trigger to start the final battle scene. The first trigger is going in and talking to Martin. The second would be you turning around to fight off Dagon. Fight goes on, Dagon eventually wtf owns you, and as you're on the ground bleeding out and no longer able to move you see a golden dragon erupt from the Temple of the One. Then the ending scene plays saying that the world was saved because of your actions along with Martins, then it takes you to the main menu.

No harm done to those who wish to continue after the main quest, and only those who know about such a feature would be able to make use of it. Albeit that their may be a few players who wouldn't know about such a things existance, but stumbling on it would be interesting. And if they happened upon it, they could just reload that character's last save and continue on into the Temple, right?

You sir lost my respect

I am not against narrative driven/chapter based games having an end - in those cases, it's like (if the game is good) finishing a good book or watching a movie to the end credits, it has an end and it's expected and it's the end of the story. No problem with that.

I would go absolutely nuts if a TES game finished and cut to credits at the end of the main quest though - it would be unexpected and unwelcome. I play TES for the exploration and guilds/factions and side-quests as much if not more than for the main quest, and when I do the main quest at all it is usually finished about a third of the way through my game at most.

People actually voted yes?

God help us all...
