Go figure, if the flaw (and I do regard this as a flaw) still exists, I bet Obsidian thought, "If we don't do this then there won't be as many sales on the DLC, so it will look like what we did wasn't as good as what Bethesda did."

There's a mod that allows you to continue playing after the last mission, it was one of the first mods I installed after I heard that the game ends after the last mission.

So, I maxed out, installed all implants, have all the best weapons/armour and Deathclaws fear me :p

do they actually respawn? I've hunted down a few groups such as Quarry Junction/Harvester's Farm area but that was 7 days gametime ago and they have not re-appeared

The full stop ending was known some time before the release. There was either an article or another topic about it a few months ago where Obsidian admitted the full stop ending and said there would be a glaring "Don't go any further if you still want to do other stuff" point before the point of no return for the ending. They even recommended creating a separate save for that point so you could finish and still go back to that save and continue exploring.

On one hand I can understand this thinking - a game should have an ending (for the story). On the other, in an open world game with so much to see and do it seems wrong to have a concrete stop point.

A game can have an ending on the main story without ending the rest of the game; just look at GTA Vice City. I seem to remember that ended but it still allowed you to wander around and do things. The difference here would be that the side quests that you haven't done would still be available.

Man im diggin the western music now......

"There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play

And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today

Texas Red had not cleared leather fore a bullet fairly ripped

And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip"

yehaw!

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
