Once you hit the point of no return at embers, the game creates a special save for you. Load this save anytime to keep exploring with everything intact - skills, gear, and street cred all stay exactly as they were. Really helpful since you can wrap up any unfinished business around night city like panam and judy's storylines, collect those iconic weapons, or max out your character build.

Even better, you can actually try out different endings from this save point whenever you want. Theres still plenty to do like tracking down ncpd scanner hustles, grabbing all those vehicles you missed, and diving into the phantom liberty content. Just keep in mind that while you cant actually play past the ending, you can always jump back to that save and try something new. Maybe interesting - some of the best iconic gear is actually hidden in side activities you might have skipped first time around.
