So after you finish it is there any way you can you still go around and play?

I was going around cleaning up quests and of course I left the Redcliffe too late, when I showed up the plot kicked in.

Nah, once you finish the main quest the game ends. It TECHNICALLY doesn't, but all you can do is DLC quests, all other sidequests are locked. Sucks because I had a ton I was going to do, now I have to reload a save, do all the sidequests, then complete the end quest to get to lvl 20.

I specd my main a Blood mage/Arcane warrior today, and got the sword from the Mage Tower side quest and tossed some dragon plate armor on him. Absolutely unstoppable.
