In spite of that negative reaction, the same is planned for Fallout: New Vegas. The Broken Steel DLC changed the big finish, making it open-ended, but if you weren’t up to paying extra to get it, you were out of luck. When it was over, it was over, as was any hope that players might have had about wandering the wasteland like some sort of latter-day Captain Walker. One of the most common complaints about Fallout 3 centered around the finality of the original ending. Much like Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas will end when it’s over, but Obsidian is taking steps to make it easy for players to go back and keep playing once they’ve seen how everything wraps up.
