Not in the Elder Scrolls.

not everybody can understand the true meaning, and the true NEED of an end in everything. I can, when the vast majority obviously can't. the End is a difficult thought for a simple human being, as you are.

actually it's the exact opposite. people voting for never ending story have fear of The End and thus are not real complete human being. The End is inevitable.

Yes, you get to keep playing after the main quest is done. /thread

I usually don't start a new character until I feel my character has run it's course and that's when I've finished all of the content.

Actually, fear of the end is what makes humans unique as animals. We know it exists. However, we live in a time where the end will no longer be inevitable in a few decades. Of course I'm not talking about the game, I'm talking about real life there.

It is not a story, it's a world to do whatever the hell you like in, with a bunch of stories within it that you can choose to do, if you want, or not. Nothing to do with fear, or being simple, you play until you get bored, or carry on playing if you are still having fun, how can anyone have a problem with that?

I'm not sure if anybody have any problem about ending or not in Skyrim. but ending after the main quest is the most logical, I think that's the question.

No. I don't want a lame ending.

"And so Dovahkiin saved the world and all was epic. And then he saved the world again to a lesser capacity in the College of Whispers. And then he chopped some wood. The end. Or is it? One month later, Dovahkiin loads up his save again and walks around a bit. The end."

Are you for real? :huh:

Was that last bit a reference to Dragon Age: Origins? :P

And i suppose you believe in 2012 is that it.
The thing you dont get is Humanity as a whole, how long have we been around, ya sometime after the Jurassic age and the Elder Scrolls is the same way it doesnt end. So to say this it wont end you can continue after the main quest. The only game bethesda made recently was New Vegas and they admit they made a mistake doing that.

Theres nothing stopping you from retiring that character after you finish the main quest. Some people can't handle too much freedom I guess.

Yet you call us simple for voting yes....

Sharkey in the Shire, the Grey Havens, Sam becoming Mayor, all stuff that happened after the end of the main quest.
Ring goes into fire, Sauron dies, Frodo rescued by eagles, The End, does not sound more logical to me.

So you're not human. Got it. So what kind of 3-headed alien are you, precisely?

Sounds exactly like the end of Dragon Age: Origins. You finish the game, the narrator explains the epic feats you accomplished, then all you're able to do is reload a save at camp and you can't leave to go explore again. It's extremely lame. :pinch:

Yes, but only if I can become a traveling hermit. Only known in some places, but mostly able to wander freely with little acknowledgment (like Gandalf, or Merlin).

I think the question in this poll is about the character played in TESV, not the humanity as a whole.

Unless you've disabled Auto-Save and have somehow completed the main quest without dying only to turn the corner and get mauled by a goblin.....you should be able to continue after the main quest :)

Why would you vote no? You still have the OPTION to end it then and there. Just walk away. Otherwise, the world still continues after you defeat Alduin (in fact, that's the point) and things do not just stop. Books are based around a specific story and do not have freedom, as they are only written once, and they HAVE to end, but usually, evidence of a future story is suggested anyway. The story doesn't end at the end of the plot. They don't say "Harry defeated Voldemort. Then, nothing else ever happened. The end.".

Weird way to comment on a videogame, buddy. I don't think the real world beginning and ending of life relates in any way to TES or videogames at all. Not even close.

The end of life is inevitable. For humans, anyway....

Doesn't matter how long it takes. Sorry to disappoint your expectations of the future.

Here is what Lemony Snicket has to say on "The End" in "The End".

"The End" is a phrase that refers to the completion of a story, or the final moment of some accomplishment, such as a secret errand, or a great deal of research, and indeed, this thirteenth volume marks the completion of my investigation into the Baudelaire case, which required much research, a great many of secret errands, and the accomplishments of a number of my comrades, from a trolley driver to a botanical hybridization expert, with many, many typewriter repairpeople in between. But it cannot be said that The End contains the end of the Baudelaire's story any more than the Bad Beginning contained it's beginning. The Children's story began long before that terrible day on Briny Beach, but there would have to be another volume to chronicle when the Baudelaires were born, and when their parents married, and who was playing the violin in the candlelit restaurant when the Baudelaire parents first laid eyes on each other, and what was hidden inside that violi, and the childhood of the man who orphanedthe girl who put it there, and even then it could not be said that the Badelaire story had not begun, because you would need to know about a certain tea party held in a penthouse suite, and the baker who made the scones served at the rea part, and the bakers assistant who smuggled the secret ingredient into the scone batter through a very narrow drainpipe, and how a crafty volunteer created the illusion of fire in the kitchen simply by wearing a certain dress and jumping around, and even then the bginning of the story would be as far away as the shipwreck that left the Baudelaire parents as castaways on the coastal shelf is far away from the outrigger on which the islanders would depart. One could say, in fact, that no story really has a beginning, and that no story really has an end, as all of the world's stories are as jumbled up as the items in the arboretum, wth their details and secrets all heaped together so that the whole story, from beginning to end, depends on how you look at it. We might even say that the world is always in media res -- a latin phrase which means "in the midst of things" or "in the middle of a narrative" -- and that it is impossivle to solve any mystery, or find the root of the trouble, and so the end is really the middle of the story, as many people will live long past the close of chapter thirteen, or even the beginning of the story, as a new child arrive at the chapters close.


You will probably have no idea what most of it is about, but the concept can apply to all naratives.

Except immortality for humans is only a few decades away. We already have an enzyme that triggers cell regeneration to start up again in older people. It's been successfully tested in mice and dogs and completely reversed the aging process. So yeah, immortality isn't a pipe dream, it's an inevitability, but that's not part of this thread's topic.

But yeah, no ending for the game until you decide it's the ending, though I'll be ending the game for a character when I finish all the content and move on to the next character.
