Is vault 79 really the end of the game?

[Paulo2400]

I'm at the point of raiding vault 79 with the raiders or settlers. But I don't want the game to finish! What happens if I end this vault 79 mission? Is there enough left to do in the game?

End of the main story

*** MAKE sure you did the settler sidequest that gives you the chinese stealth suit before you progress ***

You can still do the half of the brotherhood story (~2 hours maybe)

Afterwards you unlock a new currency, then you can complete assorted side quests, and grind for better gear

Thanks. So it really is the end. But I see players with level 200 or 300 or more. What do they do after the main story?

Side quests, pvp, events, daily ops. Unlock more legendary perk card slots from leveling up.

it's not the end, i'll explain that in just a second. i think some would argue that after 79, the real game begins because after vault 79 you get access to the some of the end game gear. you have to put in a lot of work for the gear, so it's not like you just become OP all the sudden.

i'd say it's the end of a chapter. you still have the overseer's mission to complete after vault 79.which is a lengthy quest line which gives you access to even more gear and a ton of lore about what happened.

after you finish the overseer's mission, you then have the brotherhood quest line too.

finish vault 79 m8, then you will see how it opens up even more.

There are always things to do once you've completed the Vault Raid. Note it's not like FO3 where when you do the thing with the water and it's game over. It's not like NV where once you go to Hoover Dam, that's it.

It's like FO4 where sure you've completed the main story line, but there are always radiant quests to do, and places to explore. With the added bonus that they add new quests lines several times a year.

V79 is the 'end' of the Wastelanders branch of the game, but the 'start' of the end game cycle (as introduced in Wastelanders).

The game doesn't really end, it is just the same day played out over and over again (look at pip boy calendar).

There are three arcs in the main story, which you complete chronologically in the release order.
- Reclamation Day (The Overseer's journey, ending at Fissure Prime).
- Wastelanders (The appalachians struggle, ending at vault 79).
- Broken Steel (Brotherhood of Steel storyline, not complete yet).

There are still a lot of things to do, I see. That's great, because I love this game! Thanks for all your replies.
