I've heard many people talk about the ending. But I've heard it sound as if you can't play the game any further after beating it, which seems stupid to me.

My question is this, if I complete the main quest, can I still wander the Capitol Wasteland?

Also, in Oasis, if I had STRENGTHENED the growth, would it really spread throughout the Wasteland or would it still be.......blah? (trying to be vague to avoid spoilers)

Nope and nope. So make sure you save before hand!

T.T

Thanks.....v.v

worst part about fallout if you ask me. the best part of oblvion was after the main quest

Mods comin' out soon though, so don't loose hope.

No, you have to save before you enter the...um..."room"

On its own it's sub-par, but hold the game up to it's predecessors, which had superb endings, and it's even more disappointing.

As has been said, no you cannot continue beyond the end of the game's main quest line, but I seem to recall there being rumours of the DLC changing that, along with adding the new content. Maybe it'll get patched in.

Yeah, the Broken steel DLC makes that crap-tastic ending non-cannon.(At least that is whats going around on the rumor mill.)

A friend of mine down loaded a mod that allowed him to play after the main story, provided he didn't sacrifice himself. I myself don't have it on the computer, but on the 360, yes the Strengthened potion will speed up the growth, but it would take 10 years in game for that to happen. Which means it won't happen in game.

That's why you should create a new save game (if you can...) and use it for sandboxing. Unlike GTA, you don't have to unlock locations.

The Only thing that spoiled the ending for me

Just made the ending look really tacked on.

Hopefully broken steel will have an actual final boss, I'm leaning towards a collosal electric eel waking up in the river.

fish food carl:
Just wait until you need to speak with Elder Lyons at the Citadel as your objective, do everything you want to do, then start the final quest. At least, that's what I did.

Actually you can continue playing right up until entering the final room.

What really annoyed me was the fact that

We have a spoiler tag. Please refer to: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/markup_help.php for more details about tags.

Thank you, sorry.

The game automatically creates a save as you approach the point of no return, so there's no need to worry.

Don't play that stupid game, it's a waste of time.

You raise such strong and witty arguments sir.

I'd like to see how you actually continue through the ending. Maybe some strange plot twist or something.

I was thinking the exact same thing, multiple endings my ass! There's one ending with a handful of variations. Sort of like taking a dump, it can come out either way but it's always the same shit. Excuse the vile metaphor but in this case I think it's valid. Talking shit about 200 different endings and all

If you do finish without multiple saves you'll be stuck untill the broken steel xpac comes out.

Not to insult the homosexual community but, that's gay >:(
