No playing after the end?

Post » Wed May 02, 2012 11:57 pm

Is there a way to continue playing after the end of the game? I mean after credits? I was fairly disapointed when I couldnt o.O
Also, is there a way to use the yes men and get rid of just the legion? I wanted to use all the robots to attack but just the legion and not the NCR. :(

for a variety of reasons there is no playing after the battle of hoover dam. if you go the yes man route, you are picking an independant new vegas, thus, ncr is not included. if you want the ncr you must choose the ncr path.

Oh :/
Because I wanted to be friends with the NCR and so that my robotos will take care of the stuff, but NCR would gain more power and they would be allowed to carry weapons into the strip etc

There is no continuing after the second battle of the Hoover Dam. I and many other New Vegas fans prefer it this way. If your on the PC then you can download mods that will allow you to continue after the ending.

Sorry, that just isn't how the Fallout world revolves, NCR would eventually turn on you and with their manpower they would win. :P But yeah you can't continue after the game because it is hard to make multiple DLCs for each ending and bonus slideshow, and the game would turn out to be another flop like Fallout 3's Broken Steel.

You cannot play past the ending in NV. I am annoyed with Bethesda for doing it with F3 (Broken Steel) which is why so many people ask about it for NV.

Do everything you want to before you play the end game quest.

And Yes Man means you are your own master, all who will try to be your master (NCR, House, Legion) have to be killed or pushed out of the area.

If you want to side with NCR then you have to side with NCR, if you want to have robots but not have to kill NCR pick House, if you want to kill NCR and robots pick Legion.

I wish you could play after the end. I don't get why so many people don't like broken steel i like to actually see the results of my actions in the wasteland instead of having one major event happen and then not even getting to see what you worked all game for (although that would be very difficult for new vegas so i get why they didnt do it)

The thing is there is only a change for the good ending.

If you poison the water with FEV nobody gets affected, everybody drinks the water and it can only hurt you.

And all of the other choices are either seen in the base game or not seen at all.

Well the fact that not everyone is dying makes sense because they realized that people who have drunk the water are sick or dead so they dont drink it, and you can die if your drink a lot of the water, although i do agree that there should have been something more if you sided with the enclave considering you just betrayed the brotherhood and helped them yet the enclave will shoot you on site and the brotherhood thinks your a hero.

The Potomac is the main source of water for the entire Capital Wasteland, within two weeks the only people alive would have been ones who keep a stockpile of pre-bottled water. Megaton, Rivet City, Tenpenny Tower and all of the other major settlements would have been dead within this time if you take into consideration how much water an average human needs to drink in a day.

Lol. I've heard Broken Steel called Fallout 3's author's saving throw. I actually really liked it. :-P

To the OP though, it is not possible to continue playing past the final battle. What most people do is just make a save previous to that final battle so you can go back and keep playing anytime that you want. It's not eactly the same, but it's close enough for government work.

Of course there's no playing after The End. Why would you expect there to be, idiota? How is it an End otherwise? If you could play after The End, wouldn't it not be The Main Quest, and just be some side quest?

I don't have much patience for "Play after the end" games.

There's a big notice that you are approaching the end battle. Clearly stating that if you want to keep playing to turn back now. I am in favor of and end. I feel Obsidian did it well with that notice to let players know what what up ahead. Yet it still surprised a bunch of people apparently.

Fallout is not a game that should be playable after the end anyways. TES is the one that plays on, because nothing drastic happens.

It is rather ridiculous to.

The end of the world was about to happen, and you stop it. And all you get is a random nps saying goodwork.

Well if they put playing after the end in its not like you have to play after you beat the mq, i think if they put the feature in then everyone could be made happy because those who would enjoy playing after the end could and those who dont wouldnt have to.

Hate to break your heart, they aren't going to make anything after the end. It's impossible to do with all of the different ending possibilities.

I meant for future games it is impossible with new vegas and plus the project has been done for months.

I still stand that playing after The End removes the point of even having a Main Quest, or a character. The best part of New Vegas, Fallout & Fallout 2 is the ending slides because it really gives you a sense of accomplishment. To play after that removes the point of even having the slides. Removes the feeling that you're writing a story, and makes you feel like you're visiting a theme park.

There are mods for the PC that allow you to play after the end. As for Bethesda, and hopefully Obsidian, putting in the option for continuing in the next game...no. It would really remove the point of the main quest if you know what consequences will occur.

Everybody was oblivious to it, everybody WAS drinking the water, and everybody was still alive!

What? It even reversed your decisions you've made in the game, and made you a BoS member if you wanted or not.
It shoehorned you into one ending, and made everything story-related pointless.
You don't see j***sh** about your decisions in the post-game, because all your decisions were meaningless from the start, or have been reversed by Broken Steel.
It gave you however, some sort of final mission the player has been betrayed of in the base game, where that robot just did everything.
The thing is, all the people compalining about "no-post gameplay" couln't care less about plot, story and plausibility.
They just want to be able to shoot more random things, where ever the fun lies in that

Broad statements like this don't exactly lend an air of intelligence to your statement. It's quite possible some people didn't care for the ending where they had to sacrifice the character they played for tens or hundreds of hours. Broken Steel gave a lot of people closure. Think before typing next time.

No need to insult the guy, this is the Bethesda Forums not YouTube.

Many Fallout fans hated Broken Steel because it furthers the already incredibly black and white main story by making you help the Brotherhood after the ending no matter your decision. You could have poisoned the Potomac with FEV and the generic Brotherhood members would still congratulate you. The Enclave will also be your enemy no matter what you do, they are also all portrayed as evil black hats that have no morals about anything.

Broken Steel may have given a lot of new fans closure(it initially did for me, since it was my first Fallout), but it was almost an insult to the previous Fallout fans.

That's what I consider constructive criticism.

I rather enjoyed Broken Steel mainly because the rest of the game was already so black and white, so I wasn't expecting that to change. I was kind of bummed that you didn't get more of a choice with the Enclave, since there were some choices it seemed that encouraged you to join them. Oh well, good game.
