This isn't that much of a secret. Most reviews have reported how they didn't like how the game just ends after the main quest. To remedy this you can just load a old save and just do the side quest.

Yes, I am starting to get annoyed at people complaining that the game ends when they finish the primary quest. I understand that it is an open-world game, but open-world doesn't mean never ending.

But it should let you at least return to the world and let you do the remaining quests. At least it should let you EXPLORE the world.

You can do that, just before you finish the main quest. Now I haven't completed the primary quest yet, but couldn't it be possible that it's conclusion results in the game world changing in such a way that it wouldn't have been possible to allow you to continue?

Intelligent people, please stop explaining this game to the ignorant masses. The only thing you guys are doing is confusing them more.

Well, if someone here played the other Fallout games, you just could keep playing after finishing the main quest.

However, I'm just taking my time with the game, just like i did to Oblivion. Stop complaining and enjoy the game.

Maybe if you finish it, you can start with a different approach, enjoy playing man/girl!

Yea...but what kind of Sandbox does this qualify as? That irritates me. If Oblivion ended after the main quest...it would have been annoying.

Bethesda stated this looong ago. It is to encourage you to replay it over and over in different ways.

Well that's not very encouraging but I know I'll start another game as soon as I'm done with the game, so I don't care that much.

Wow, people are actually complaining because the actually ends? Wow! Keep in mind you have the choice to choose the main quest or just remain doing the side quest as you go through the game. My advice would be to go through the main quest and occasionally do the side quest through-out your time going through the main quest. That simple.

At least in Mass Effect you could re-start the game with all your stats, weapons, etc. If you could do this with Fallout3 that would be much more of an encouragement to go out and keep playing.

check the date :P

Broken Steel is coming out for PS3 sometime this year (and if you can only choose one DLC, go with this due to the story expansion and moving the level cap to 30), but this thread is from last year. :| Why do people bump old threads...
