Fallout 4?

[Fire Me Boy!]

This will be what makes me buy a Xbox One.

Hopefully this game will feature an open ended story, and not just end once the final main mission is completed. Ive always hated that. The Elder Scrolls games always continued after the main quest was over, I don't understand how they cant get it right for Fallout.

They ran into the big issue in Fallout 3 (which SERIOUSLY pissed me off the first time I had played) with the game ending abruptly out of nowhere. I was about 55 hours in, decided to play another piece of the main story and during my frequent saving, I staggered all 3 of my saves over all of my previous ones outside of that mission.

Imagine my fury when I realize I just flushed my entire 55 hours down the toilet by entering that quest.

Even dumber was the fact that there was no way around someone dying there. You've got two followers immune to radiation ffs, but I cant let them activate the device?

They fixed it with the Broken Steel dlc that allowed the story to continue past that point, but it was a damn long time coming.

In New Vegas, they made the exact same style of story. Once you play the final battle, the game ends no matter which of the outcomes you choose.

Its super annoying to me as a completist to just constantly have that one mission left undone, because it will end that character and if you want to use that character in the inevitable wave of DLC that is certainly going to be released, you cant have everything done.

Maybe I'm misreading you.....but I was able to continue after the ending in both previous console Fallout games.

Im playing on 360.

In its original release, Fallout 3 ended after activating the water purifier, and you had to either load a previous save, or start again.

It was not until the release of the "Broken Steel" DLC that altered the ending, that you could continue after the main story.

Fallout New Vegas remains the same. If you begin the battle for Hoover Dam, that character ends at the end of that quest, no matter how many of the DLC you have installed.

You may be right on both accounts. I admittedly bought Fallout 3 after Broken Steel.

With New Vegas, though, I could have swore I beat the final mission before playing any DLC's and didn't have to go back to a previous save. My menory might be failing me, though.

It definitely ends after the Hoover Dam mission.

You just put together a more than capable PC.

I actually prefer to play on a console.
