Fallout 3, such a waste and a disappointment

Regardless of it's rating for the PS3 version of the game which is the one I have and the only one I have played and will be playing. I'll cut to the chase on saying that Fallout3 is overall a very good game done by Bethesda, everytime is spectacular excepts it lacks one thing; a aftermath.

Bethesda made this game with such a beautiful and artful enviroments, cakes, big world, similar to a massive multiplayer online role playing game with flawless designs, satisfying destructible objects, played just like a mmorpg since you can level, buy armour, weapons, save but whats the point of exploring the wastelands and doing all sidequests/optional quests when there's just NO aftermath!? Meaning, when you finish the game, you can't play afterwards, you either start a new file or restart at the last checkpoint, which is before the save.

This game is such a waste and a disappointment since you simply can't continue after the last quest of the main mission. I simply want to roam, explore, linger, kill, buy and make decisions on quests in the wasteland and not have this obstacle in the way, preventing me to do all that. I don't want to hear some pompus baffoon saying words similar to exact or revelant to these questions: "why can't you just play around the main quest?"

What's with the cakes today?

To be honest, I agree. I don't like the fact that once the story is complete then thats it, game finished. This isn't what an RPG should do in my opinion. Of course, I've spent most of my time exploring the wastes and doing all the side quests but I do feel that Bethesda should of taken the Fabled 2 approach and have it so that when the storyline ends it simply opens more quests for you to do.

But still, aside from that, Fallout 3 is great. A wonderful game.

I have played The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on PC and X360 back then, finished it, I believe you could play after completing the main quest or in other words, play the aftermath since it's been a long time since I last played it.

Other sources also suggest that there is a aftermath upon completion of the main storyline quest in oblivion, I'm alittle lazy to link it, googling seems to befit most people that are eager to know.

I understand your gripe. It can be avoided though... Just don't finish the main quest until your completely done exploring the wasteland and any side quests.

Should you be forced to avoid completing the main quest in order to explore the rest of the game? Probably not, but is it that big of a deal?

Patience is key... don't rush this game.

That just wouldn't make any sense from a story perspective. With the game ending the way it did, do you honestly expect your character to just continue exploring the world? The message the ending was trying to get across wouldn't have worked if they just let you keep playing the game afterwards. Silent-Hal

I don't think you are dissapointed. I think you just really enjoyed the game and did not want it to end. But you must understand one thing. That game is not GTA. It is not made to go on forever.

First and foremost I will like to apologise to the mods for breaking a rule, double-posting.Aerest

Lol. they dont mean Double-Posting, they mean like Spamming Double-Posting.
