WARNING: After Mission 23 - 73% = End of side missions

[T-7000]

So because this game does not let you know when the game starts to take a linear mission path, I am posting this. After you complete mission 23 (73% - barge near bridge mission), you will no longer be able to do side missions like the radio tower, bar, and gun shop missions. The entire map is still open up until you go to the prison, however you will be forced into a linear progression of missions, each of which are followed by another.

I am posting this because it took me a good 30min of fishing through my saves to find where the sandbox aspect of being able to do side mission ends. Poor job by Ubi not to warn us where the point of no return is.

So make sure you keep a save after mission 23 (73%) if you plan to continue doing side missions with the same save after beating the main story line.

**SEMI-SPOILER?**

Also once you go to the prison that is the end of being able to explore the entire map. The remainder of the game takes place in a large valley.
