All things being said I am pretty excited about F:NV, most of what I have seen looks exciting and fresh...however while perusing the fan interviews I came across this...

Will we be able to keep playing once we beat the game with this one?

JS: This is something we really wanted to do, but ultimately we realized that supporting post-endgame content would jeopardize the quality of the ending, which we wanted to tell the definitive stories for all of our major factions, locations and characters. Instead, after the credits roll the game will prompt you to reload a save created just before the endgame sequence, allowing players to go back and complete any quests they may have missed. Additionally, we make it very clear when you're about to reach the end of the main plot, so it shouldn't come across as a surprise.

I am not too excited about the fact that once you complete the main story you must reload to a previous save and play from there. I thought this was the biggest mistake that bethesda fixed with Fallout 3. O well, maybe it isn't too bad. What does everyone else think?

There are threads about that subject under Endings can take your complant there we don't need a thread for every complant and every idea people have.

Here is a thread ==> http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1098428-ending/

As stated before, the ending of Fallout 3 was not a mistake. It was made that way for a reason. Personally, I don't like how they ended it, nor do I like how their doing the same thing in the latest installment. Hopefully, they will release DLC that will change this.

This can't be happening... We need Broken Steel 2.0!

As long as the ending is well done, I don't have a problem with the game not carrying on.

Well, FO3 did the same thing, and Bethesda caved to public pressure because... well it seemed that most of the fans either a: hated how the game ended or b: hated the fact that the game ended at all. Thus, we got Broken Steel.

Don't worry, if the Ending is like FO3's (which it hopefully won't, as Obsidian seems to know what they're doing) then the Mods may need to bring in some firetrucks to put down the flames that erupt from the Forums... and then Beth tells Obsidian to make a DLC that continues after the Main Quest.

Well, despite your seemingly pleasant tone I appreciate you pointing me to another area. However, I am not discussing the ending I am discussing the fact that the game will require you to load a previous save in order to continue playing - a save before the ending.

I see. Simple to fix , just have a would you like to continue playing option yes or no. I have been posting that as an option long before we learned there will be an ending. There is a great reason why we will not be playing after the ending I will get it....

Edit:

Yes; let's use this one.
