the ending of Fallout 3 is a series of narrated clips that differ depending on what you do in the game.
***spoiler***
examples:
if you infect the water, it will say something about it in the ending
if you sacrifice Lyons it will say something different than if you activated the purifier yourself
if you are good, it will say different things than if you were evil.
After the main quest is complete there are two options. A. The game is over, you die, it ends permanently. B. You go to your game console's store and buy a DLC for Fallout 3 called "Broken Steel" which continues the main quest. And when you beat Broken Steel the game keeps going. It should cost about $10.
I personally recommend Fallout 3 to any other Fallout game. Fallout 3 has a more organized and in my opinion interesting storyline. And you. And you can also keep the game going after you beat the main quest on Fallout 3 if you buy the DLC "Broken Steel."
The game begins.... you start playing it, its open freeworld game, so its volunteraly what u do, but if u want to do main questi, go to megatown( can find on map) but the game stops after main quest is over... but its not short one, what i would do, is do 5 main quest missions, then start doing side quest's
just continue on with the main quest and you'll be able to do it.
the broken steel expansion continues after the purifier final quest on the original game, you can level to 30 without completing the main questline.
you can if you want to but after you beat it it goes back to the main screen where you can load a save that you saved BEFORE you beat the game
Yes and no; That is, not directly. If you complete the final main story mission, the game ends. However, if you do that, you can restart from the last savepoint, not complete the final mission, and continue the game as you wish.
After you finish the main quest the game ends. But if you own it on Xbox 360 and have Xbox LIVE, Broken Steel will extend the main quest and will raise the level cap from 20 to 30.
If your asking about the the PC verion. Launch fallout 3 then at the beginning where you normally click 'Play', there are options and one says 'datafile'. Click that and make sure the expansion packs are ticked.Pointlook out should be available straight away. Broken steel you need to complete the main quest of the 'standard' game.
you dont have a first follower in fallout 3 you see... this type of game lets you walk the wastes freely. meaning that wichever one you encounter first is your first (which is probably jerico in megaton if you follow the main quest.
All the DLC packs are side missions only and must be completed before you end the game. None of them extend the main quest like Broken Steel did for Fallout 3.
Yes, however, you will have to complete the Main Quest to a certain stage, because the Elder Scroll from the Main Quest is later used in Dawnguard.
