I don’t believe I have seen this being mentioned before, so let me ask:

Once we finish the main quest and see the final slides (or whatever instruments you choose to show the consequences), will it be possible to continue playing ala Fallout 2 or the game is over?

I do believe this has been mentioned, and the answer as far as I remember, was that when the game is over it is in fact, over. No free roaming afterwards. But another thing that also has been mentioned before, but I don't recall the answer: will there be a summary of how your actions affected the game world when the game ends? And before anyone ask, I did spend a fair amount of time searching/clicking threads at random in the AoD-forum.

No, you can't play after the game is over. Yes, there will be a very detailed (locations, factions, NPCs) summary of your actions.

I doubt "post-finale" gameplay is actually applicable here. Fallout 2 had very weak central storyline, very poorly done, really. It was shabby and not really there -- it was kinda like the daedra invasion in Oblivion -- something's about to happen but doesn't happen until you're done picking flowers / proclaiming yourself the kung-fu champion of the post-apocalyptic world. And while FO2 lacked time-limit as a natural whip to lash the player around with, AoD, I presume, has other means to keep the player focused as though he actually WANTS TO DO IT. Motivation is very important. When it's there, you don't really need the "post-finale" to actually "finish" with the game. Satisfaction has already come.
