Oh wow. Has it been confirmed that we cant free roam after story??... That would suck!!!

Yes. There is a pop up in the final zone that says Point of No Return. Unless you have a save prior to that, the game is over once you enter the 3rd to last mission. I just finished the game last night.

However, instead of exploring on that save, I’m going to restart after they patch it. I feel like I missed a bunch of stuff after SIRCA just because the game was busted in the mid game, so I just speed ran the story and will restart after they fix the horrific amount of issues after that point

I wonder how they will implement the confirmed future story expansions. Will we have to do them before getting to the end game? Or possibly have to start a save specifically for them, however there is only 3 save slots so that doesn't make sense.

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.

Nice excuse.

The wall train at Yaniv?

if there are no side missions left how would you be able to buy better ammo if you cannot earn coupons. is that a problem with free roam?

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.

thats not true. its widely known across alot of videos for a few days now how to sneak in. i myself got in shortly after leaving lesser zone. i hit seva V, seva I then diamond. i had no issues other than a ton of guards around diamond. also found a dipnor "spelling" while exploring and drastically made my game easier. soon as the lesser zone opened i went EAST lol. after spending like 6ish hours exploring i went west. i sided with ward. then hit the chem plant on the way through and skipped all other missions and just been exploring.

The game notifies you at the point of not return?

Yes. It’s the 3rd to last mission “down below”. You will enter a room and a pop up that states “this is the point of no return, if you have anything you wish to do, turn back now” pops up in the middle of your screen

Well, the endings are pretty drastic and they would have to change the entire post game after each ending. So no, no free roam (sadly)

Does someone really think they should always design endings so that it doesn't interfere with post-story freeroam? I mean talk about compromising your storytelling for a stupid reason. Why not just freeroam before the point of no return?

Boss drops unique item that can't be used because game ends immediately.

No but...

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.
