Can't seem to find the answer. Will probably return and do some bounties first if it does (however incongruous it might be from the RP standpoint..)

Yep. Jumping into the hole is the point of no return.

Thanks. Will do some other stuff first then. With all the talk about rampant outleveling after Act 1, I'm still lvl 11, even though I think I was doing all sub-quests (except some companions', and the bounties).

Yep it wrapped up for me at level 11, but then I wasn't doing a completionist play-through. (It is a nice touch that they remind you of what you left unfinished.)

Of course it does. It's the end of the game.

Not all games end with the main quest.

Uhm... Ah... Pokemon. There, you're wrong. Also Morrowind, but I don't want to start another Elder Scrolls debate.

I think it's often better if the game doesn't end with the main quest when the main quest feels urgent enough that at some point you'd want to skip things, from a roleplaying standpoint.  That is, unfortunately, the case in PoE, come Act 3.

 

I thought FO:NV handled that aspect well, in that it was easy enough to just tell yourself "Caesar hasn't started attacking the dam yet, it's fine."  Bit harder to justify signing up for a month-long caravan DLC trip, of course.
