I’m of the firm opinion that yes, single player games should eventually have a hard ending where there is nothing left to be done.

Even if you know these are infinite quests, it’s still irritating to have them in your “to be cleared” inbox as a completionist. You will always have active quests, unless you manage to complete them then never return to talk to the NPCs who give them to you again. Finding all the hidden things, collecting all the guns, and of course, completing all the missions. I’m someone who likes to try and 100% clear single player games. Are all these detector beacon things Tinker Tom is having me set up actually going to produce some sort of concrete result at some point, or is he going to keep saying “mmm a few more” forever? Do these numbered defense quests from the Railroad have an end to them, or will I end up doing “Safehouse Quest #549” someday if I keep taking them on? While some Radiant Quests are obvious, others seem like normal ones that trick you into thinking there’s an ending to them. To this day I’m still not sure that every Radiant Quest I’m doing is really a Radiant Quest. You don’t always know you’re doing an infinite questline.

The same goes for a few of the other NPCs that they’ve turned into nothing but quest vending machines. I associate literally nothing else with this man other than these dumb quests. As I mentioned, even hearing Preston Garvey’s voice is grating at this point, because 90% of what he says to me is assigning these banal quests. While I understand that appeal of wanting to give players something to do indefinitely in your game, I hate Radiant Quests, and judging by the rest of the internet, I’m not alone.
