In all endings, you'll be the faction leader of the faction you assist. All minor faction endings are dealt with on a case by case basis. The main story concludes in such a vague way to make-up for the Fallout 3 ending, where you conclude the stories of all the various factions. In the game files, the endings are "Endgame_FEMALE_A.bk2" and "Endgame_FEMALE_B.bk2" and of course, a male counterpart for each. If you want to do side-quests for all four factions, then you’ll need to do them before you conclude the main story.

The only impact is the state the world is in afterwards and who you can and can’t do questions for. Once in the game you can simply reload one of your old saves.All roads lead to one cutscene, which only varies slightly. Now, next time you encounter a loading screen that goes on forever, restart the game and load that save. When Doc Mitchell is done with you and you’ve regained control of your character create a hard save at this point. It doesn’t matter whether you create the same character or not. You’ll wake up Doc Mitchell’s house where you’ll once again be guided though creating your character. Note that you’ll want to retain any saves you may have to this point. Very annoying.Ī simple work-around for this problem is to start a new game. When this happens the actual game will not launch and game play cannot continue.

One intermittent problem that remains, however, is an an infinite loading screen. GOG has done an excellent job of fixing most of the bugs, crashes and other problems that continue to plague the version of the game available from Steam. For this play through I bought the game anew from GOG.com. With the Corona-19 virus curbing my outdoor activities I decided to have another go at playing Fallout: New Vegas on PC.
