No free roam after story

[Vegito]

I really wish they allowed us to free roam after story or have a NG+

Hopefully they will add it.

Until then I am going super slow with the Story and enjoying the world.

Who plays games for the story any more? Not me, once free roam opens up i stop playing the story :sakurabeachmomokolaugh:

I do in general direction. I just drift a lot.

What's the PONR anyway tho? Every thread just mentions it ends, ok, we have saves. But where the final chain of events starts?

the story has a definitive end. pretty much all endings are not condusive to having "free roam" after the story is over. This was the creative vision of the story.

will have to wait for a mod.

Is it just me, or are upgrades and shop items locked behind story progress?

you can honestly start the game get out of the starting area and do whatever you want you can even break into areas your not supposed to if you want to i didnt even start the main quest after leaving the main area and discovered all but 2 regions and its because theres so much radiation there i cant figure out how to go with out dying

Pripyat is endgame only unfortunately. Can go everywhere else except there.

No upgrades are locked by story progression, but some gear requires you to fin the blueprints to upgrade them. Also some techs can only upgrade some gear so for example if you have a Duty/Freedom suit you need to go to those techs to get the upgrades.

Just find it strange that upgrades I could perform before on an endgame save I can't get them on a new one, using the same technician. I don't know who can modify that one space suit lookin armor because the people that sell it can't.

Wait, what happens after the story? No spoilers please, I'm not at the end of the story yet, I'm still pretty much at the beginning. Is it really the case that once you've finished the story, you can no longer explore the world?

The game ends. Reload a save or start a new game.

Yeah its just like the original 3 games, so get some exploration and side questing in if you think your getting near the end of the game.

Atm you can make a save before "Down Below" -mission which is no return point in story. Unfortunatey i forgot to do this:-). I really hope that devs will add free roam, honestly i can't understand why there isn't this option since CoP has it. Don't remember if SoC or CS has it without mods. As someone pointed out it does not make much sense that you have put a lot of effort to get best possible gear and can only use it for a very short time in Pripyat. And i skipped a lot of side missions/quests/artifact hunting since i was eager to see how main story goes.

Stalker CoP let you free roam after the story, if I remember correctly
