No free roam after story

[Vegito]

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

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.

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

You can, if you go for the true ending.

will have to wait for a mod.

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

no i have exo and d-12 a hour in just map knowledge

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.

I seen that and made a save but i couldnt find it after

I like it like that. Gotta fix those damn bugs and NPC's

Does the game pop up a message saying "point of no return"? if not, adding one might prevent this confusion from future players.

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.

Yet you can just over train without even difficulty rads are just a deterrent

It's possible to do both. Dying Light and Mad Max had points of no return but post game takes the player back to before then to continue side quests, exploring, etc.

I'm not saying GSC should do the same, just that it's possible to have both a definitive ending and post game free roam. Does the game at least warn the player before entering a point of no return?

Only upon entering a door but when i enter it popped up fast the went away fast so i had to go back and stand in the door way to see what the message said

So much effort for nothing. All the good ♥♥♥♥ is near ending but you can t freeplay after finishing the story. Whats the point of getting the m701 or exo's.

TBH, story wise, what freeroam would be there? Almost all factions, no matter what ending you choose will be almost dead. Or Zone will be dead in one instance

And just where did you find an Exo before Pripyat? (outside of story-locked areas)

creative dicision that is also a bad decision, could just have the game say "few weeks ealier" after ending and let you play freeroam
