I absolutely want to continue after I finish the Main Quest, and I honestly doubt Bethesda would do it any other way

why does any one want a good thing to end, the end ,
honestly if they want the game to end they can quit after the main quest video, case closed.

Its not like we dont want to do the main questline, we just want to go off the beaten path sometimes ,grow our char,do sidequest's,go loot hunting,,etc Sorry to flame earlyer but this topic gets me heated because i feel that if u want the game to end then stop playing but let the ppl that want to keep on playing do so.

Neither of you seem to understand the issue that I want to address. Basically you think that I should just pretend that my character died, ignoring the finale of the game completely. And then I can stop playing with this character. Not only does that guarantee that the ending of the game would be absolutely lame (to allow the PC to survive), my imagination is simply a terrible substitute to the cinematic quality that BGS can provide if they even try to facilitate my ideas to some degree.

This is over 200 posts now, so I'm going to open up a new topic which is closer to the matter that I'm trying to discuss.

Yes. I would want to keep playing as long as there's something to do in the world.

They haven't restricted you in the matter in any previous TES I don't see why they should now.

I voted no of course. After the main quest is done I'll be wanting to play some other game at that point. I do understand that its a staple of the TES franchise, and that it is expected that it play on forever; but that aspect of the series has never appealed to me. ~had the question been "Do you think the game should continue..." then I'd have voted yes (or not at all).

Who would vote "No"?

yes

Personally and I know that I'm in the minority on this one that if it means creating a better as well as less disappointed ending then I won't mind the game ending. Its not as if you can't wait on the main quest or not take part in the main quest at all while doing whatever you please.

Edit: How is this not locked?

NAh I'm just gonna stop playing the game after main quest is finished, after all that's what free roam RPG's is all about. Stopping to play the game after main storyline is finished :flamethrower:

After all we are SAVING THE WORLD in order TO LIVE IN IT aren't we?

Dude, it sounds like your saying the ending will be lame if your character doesn't bite it.

I think it would be ok for there to be an option for your character to get killed off, but there's no way I'm choosing it.

Well ya, like others have said, "this is the Elder Scrolls not Fallout". Its OK if Fallout ends since they have from the beginning. TES on the other hand is different and I'd expect them to keep with there tradition.

TES with an ending = not TES

of course i want to be hailed as the hero of skyrim the man who stood against a god and won
