We don't need another Warp In The West to occur. That will happen if Obsidian changes their mind which that isn't going to happen.

There are only a handful of good (?) reasons to continue roaming the Mojave after the battle of the dam. Every one of those reasons is a unique weapon or piece of armor, and that's it (the Legate's stuff and G.O.'s stuff).

I don't see the point in being able to continue playing the game after the final battle. I can do everything else in the game before fighting the Legate (or whomever I choose to oppose) and I always do.

Since there are no random encounters in the Mojave, roaming around after the Main Quest would get exceedingly boring in about 3 minutes.

Is it technically possible? Probably - and only if nobody cared about continuity. Is it technically necessary? Absolutely not.

this. Strictly speaking you can start again, but I hate hate hate doing the same quests over and over again. I've done House. Done NCR. Done Legion. Done anarchy. What else ya got? I'm starting to get bored now (but I love the game so much, so the fact it's boring really grates on me). It's ok for you "gamers", you can go off and play the 50 other games you have on your shelf. I have two games on my shelf: Fallout 3 GOTY, and Fallout New Vegas.

We "Gamer" have betters things to do that just play other games

Why do the game endings always have to be epic? For once I'd like to see a game, where you are just some random nobody doing everything your doing just for the money, girl or the fame. Just an ending that doesn't really revolutionize the world in any way, life just keeps rolling like it did before you came around.

Kinda like the dollars trilogy movies, you come to town do your thing and leave. Maybe you wiped out the gang that harrassed the townsfolk, but in the end of the day it doesn't matter because somebody else going to replace them eventually. "No gods, no masters" questline was close but no cigar.

Buy more games?
Buy Fallout 1/2/T, Baldurs Gate 1/2+Expansions, Icewind Dale 1/2+Expansion, Arcanum and Planescape Torment.
They're cheap, very likely to run on your computer and would possibly make you an RPG elitist like some of us.

after playing Fo3/NV? Back to low-rez 8bit crappola? lol!....

next you'll be wanting me to bust out a pen and paper and play tic-tac-toe... :facepalm:

Such a shame you won't give some really great games a go simply because the graphics aren't all new and shiny.

Depending on which ending is considered canon. A post ending mojave experience could be quite fun. The BoS of steel seemed pretty interested in house technology, as did the FoA. Could be that the strip comes under seige instead of the Dam. Possibly utilising the areas under vault 21 (with a bit of C4 that concrete goes bye bye)

All it takes is a little imagination. Don't forget it would be a DLC so there would have to be a 'new' story, some 'event' that happened based on how your playthrough ended. It probably won't ever happen but I for one can see many many ways in which this could be fun and interesting.

There is actually something I've always wanted to see but I don't think I've seen anything in the Mojave that would make it possible. I'd like to see some form of time travel, NOT to go back and prevent the great war or anything like that. But I've always been curious what it would be like roaming around these retro-futuristic environments before it all got nuked. Could even have some kind of paradox, maybe you try to prevent it but in a strange paradoxical retro-closure you are the the instrument of the worlds eventual demise? Aww I don't know, seeing the past would certainly be cool. ( A little off-topic I know, got a bit carried away)

If you can get over the older graphics and turn based, the games are awesome and still have big following. There are people on here that said they would not play them due to how old they are, but then they did play them and enjoy them. They are super cheap and can be dowloaded for like $5. So really what do you have to lose other then $5?

As for another of your posts about Hating starting a new character and doing the same quests over and over. Why not do different things during the quests. They have different out comes, differen't dialogue. I hate walking around poinless fighting bullet sponges until I finally get give up and start a new character. Only to deside if I am going to be Good or Evil.

What's wrong with tic-tac-toe?

Don't hate.

Show more respect to the old games, but sorry if you find it 8 bit crappola (?), thats sound totally ignorant on you part, honestrly

:facepalm: ... I gues these threads are not going to stop.... <_<

On another note, Im a young gamer,and started playing fallout with fallout 3(yes, Im a :tes: thats why I got fo3), and so I like the new 3D fallouts a lil better. But, I played the 1st two and tactics, and enjoyed them a lot( well not tactics :blush: .., but the first two were great). Any one not willing to try them cause of graphics, well, I fell sory for them, cause they are missing out on a lot of fun.

Yeah, I realise I was semi-trolling, sorry everyone (Mods included). But I watch something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDRsqz3iyks and think it's hilariously bad. Personal opinion, you understand.

Holy Willis, the video quality is brutal! D:

Yeah I agree.

Niamh, just pay $5 download it, get the windows 2007 patch an see for yourself. Really what do you have to lose? $5 and an hour of your time? If you like it you will get many hours of enjoyment and then there is still the other originals to get.

Not sure if downloading it needs the patch. I have the original copies which do.

The user is playing in slow speed and the video quality is crap anyway, the game itself is better with the fanmade patch and mods included
