I just finished the end of fallout but no achivment !!!!!!! Anyway now I can not keep playing after I won what is the fun in that!!!!! If I knew it I would never have done the last battle but my save is where it is. So I hope you will reaspond to my post and will reaspond.

It asked you if you were sure about continuing that quest. or do you not read text boxes. :dry:

Um, didn't we have a rather heated discussion about this kind of thing a long while back?

Anyway, I do not think it would end and not let you play. The other ES games I have played (Morrowind and Oblivion) allowed you to play after the Main Quest, I think.

It clearly tells you before you go into the last battle "Are you sure you want to go past the point of no return?"

anyways, it should definitely NOT end because then it seems like everything we did around Skyrim was useless because we don't get to see any real consequences.

You will be able to play after the game has ended. Beth said that they learned their lesson with that one.

I THOUGHT I COULD STILL PLAY IT!!!!!!!! I always read text boxes.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO A MILLION TIMES NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! this is The elder scrolls and they have never done that so why should they?

haha no. They said it was a mistake releasing "Broken Steel" for Fallout 3 because you could continue and that it made you fill as though nothing had changed. Thats why Fallout NV doesn't let you continue after beating it.

Can you link me an article.

They did say that, but then THEY (not the gamers) didnt like the ending

If you're concerned about this, you might want to consider a couple factors. First, New Vegas was developed by Obsidian, not Bethesda, and I'd imagine the decision to have it end with the completion of the main quest was made by Obsidian, would Bethesda have done the same if they developed New Vegas? I don't know, but since Bethesda later released a DLC that retconned Fallout 3's difinite ending and let you continue playing after the main quest was finished, this might mean that Bethesda decided that having the game end after completing the main quest was a bad idea, an opinion that clearly was not shared by Obsidian, but we're here to discuss a game being made by Bethesda, not Obsidian, second, Fallout New Vegas is, as its name implies, a Fallout game, not an Elder Scrolls game. Being able to play after the main quest is a trend that is well routed in the Elder Scrolls, this is not so for Fallout, so while one can make a Fallout game that ends with the completion of the main quest without angering Fallout fans, I'm sure many Elder Scrolls fans would be displeased if they did so for the Elder Scrolls. Considering these factors, I think it's unlikely that Skyrim will end with the completion of the main quest. I can't give any guarentees, of course, since I've heard no official confirmation on the matter, but personally, I think the game will be like Morrowind and Oblivion in the sense that once you complete the main quest, that's simply the end of that storyline, you can still continue the rest of the game, if you so choose.

I can't download it because my file disappeared. Also I will mention that I meant this to discuss both and the likelihood of Skyrim being this way and I do not like to think it could happen. Also arnt they made by the same company basicly?

Bethesda did not make NV. They published it.

Elder Scrolls games usually let you continue after the ending. I assume it won't be any different with SR.

The Elder Scrolls series has always allowed you to continue after the main quest. It's part of the gameplay, it's part of the freedom they offer you.

The Fallout series, with the exception of Fallout 3, is the opposite.

While Fallout 2 did allow you to continue, I'm not counting it. Simply because it was a rushed feature that caused more bugs and that was not fleshed out at all.

No.
Completely different, Obsidian made the game, Bethesda just publushed it.

As publishers do they have a say on what goes into it and can reiveiw the making? Just wondering.
