As you're playing through Xbox Game Studios' new role-playing game (RPG) Avowed and approach the end of the game, this is an important reminder that you should keep your pre-completion save files in case there's DLC or expansions in the future. Avowed has a fairly clear point of no return, and once you progress on into the endgame, you can't go back to find Totems you missed and finish up remaining side quests. You also can't keep playing after finishing the main story.
This is the same system that developer Obsidian Entertainment used in one of its prior RPGs, The Outer Worlds. When The Outer Worlds received DLC expansions in 2020 and 2021, these new adventures expanded the playable world with additional quests and mysteries, but if you'd finished the game already, you couldn't keep playing.
