What makes you think there will be an ending at all?
One of the issues people have is that there was an ending and they couldnt play after it. I am thinking that there will not be an ending and the game will just continue to progress open-ended.
Well, the actual ending will have to be rewritten and then there will be a natural end to the DLC quest, one would imagine.
I just wonder how they'll deal with the cutscene.

Not sure about removing the level cap myself. At level 20 I already had about half the skills maxed and the other half around 50 and was pretty much unkillable. Is there even any point in gaining more levels beyond 20? Another ten levels and almost all variation between character builds will be gone. On the other hand I guess it won't make much difference anyway.
I really think they should do away with a "main quest" for the next Fallout game so they don't need to worry about balancing things out for people who rush through the game without exploring much or doing the side quests. Stick to a few larger quests lines such as the Wasteland Guide and the usual assortment of side quests and slow the levelling right down so that you only hit the cap after uncovering most of the map and doing most of the quests. It's not as if we'll all miss out on a fantastic story if they do that.

Yeah, I've heard some nightmare stories about the DLC on PC. Oh well. 
That said, anyone with the PC version try the console cheats?
Apparently there's an "addachievement" cheat that basically lets you add all 50 (or 54 now) achievements!

I shouldn't use the console cheats . . . but I do
I finally figured out that you have to sign in to LIVE inside the game . . . which of course totally wipes my saves (they're still there, but they were connected to my Steam acct, not LIVE) so if I want to play under my live acct I have to totally start over
luckily I found out where the DLC content was downloaded to, so I just copied them to my data folder so I can play with my old savegames

That's probably the most annoying part of GFWL. Why lock saves to an account that requires you to be online? Bah.
some new perks I want to see
specific enemy damage modifiers (like the entemologist perk)
Mireluk Masher- +5 dmg to mireluks up to 3 levels
Super Mutant Smasher- +5 dmg to super mutants up to 3 levels
Raider Ripper- +5 dmg to raiders up to 3 levels
Beast Beater- +5 dmg to creatures up to 3 levels
Permanant sneak-boy upgrade- adds the ability to turn invisible at will
Meticulus care- -5% degradation to all weapons/armor up to 3 levels

the one I sent in for their perk contest was "truth bullets", basically like truth serum in bullet form. the game machanic would be to use your highest rated gun level instead of charm or whatever to get extra dialog options. The joke of course would be that all the person could honestly say was that the bullets really, really, hurt.

no, i just got side-tracked looting the archives and minefield
So has anyone downloaded The Pitt yet? I did yesterday and I'm liking it so far.
I'm enjoying it so far. The auto-axe is a lot of fun, and I'm not even using a melee build. Plus, the infiltrator is just sick. A silenced, scoped, assault rifle. That's just awesome.
how are the new DLC's?

I hope you're both joking or I'm going to really feel bad about myself.
