This is a game that’s endlessly praised for the politics it deeply weaves into the world, and that’s true! But New Vegas has a kind of unavoidable issue: what the script says, and more importantly, what the game lets you choose to do, that does ultimately send a message. But as the years have wore on, my thinking has gone from being impressed, to more critical analysis, and eventually to a kind of frustrated dislike of a lot of the conclusions I’ve had to draw. Normally, I’d consider that a compliment, and in a way, I do appreciate it for giving me a lot to chew on. And what will happen with the DLC? Will it all be set before the ending, thus messing with the levelling and character progression? Will it be based on side-stories and different protagonists? Or will it be another Fallout 3-style retcon?īut what do you think? Would a lack of post-ending exploration be a jolt for you, or could you not care less about narrative flow? And how do you think this means the DLC will turn out? Let me know in the comments, or via our throbbing social portals on Facebookand Twitter.Fallout New Vegas is one of those games that I’ve never really stopped thinking about. That approach felt creaky in A Link to The Past. But surely there's a better, more organic way of doing things than just skipping back to before the last boss fight, like nothing ever happened. Sawyer explains that Fallout: New Vegas' endings will tell the stories of the game's characters for decades after the main story, and obviously anything the player did post-endgame to change those events (say, killing a character who we've been told lives to old age) would make a mess of things. And that, to me, just feels like a much more evolved way of doing things. And after 'completion', Dragon Quest VIII even opens up hours-worth of new gameplay that fills in every gap from the game's already huge main story.
Fable IIunlocks new quests after the main game has been completed, which lead directly on from the events of the finale.
In 20 minutes it's going to mean bugger all, mate"Īt the end of a game based entirely around those concepts, essentially being told that my final actions and climactic struggle didn't count for anything (and in fact didn't even happen) as soon as I want to play more is a bit galling, as well as a bit archaic.
