If you're enjoying it why not do the side quests?
Finishing the game is an act of cruelty I swear. The only other game that did this to me was Witcher 3.
Did you not see the post credit scene? Its revealed that Hades is still alive, but he gets trapped by Sylens, who poses that exact question. So I dunno if that's foreshadowing DLC or a sequel.
It also makes me wonder what happened to the other subroutines that escaped. Hades was the only one designed to destroy, so maybe finding the others would be a good thing?

I found the same with witcher. I just found myself skipping the cut scenes and the endless dialogue. Maybe it was Geralts character but I soon bored of it all. I ought to give it another chance and start it over really.
Yes, after finishing the main quest you're plonked back into the main world at the point before the very last quest begins - whilst retaining everything you just gained.
No achievement is missable, which is great.

Had a full day on this yesterday - a very rare thing for me these days in terms of gaming. Think im up to level 16 or 17 and still in the main starting area before the Carja gates.
So I am enjoying it but a few things confuse me. Fall damage is one. Feels like it varies and I have died countless times from falls which just didnt seem as bad as others I survived - even with full health.
The second is weapon mods. I managed to find a very rare damage mod and finally got around to eqipping it to my sharp shooting bow last night, yet I dont seem to be dealing any more damage......? The weapon stats have increased in inventory but damage to glowing areas on machines has remained capped at what it was before. Am I missing something?
Then theres the map system - shamelessly stolen from far cry and yet no legend for any of the icons! Lol. To be honest this game often feels like far cry in 3rd person mixed with a bit of Mass Effect style conversation interaction and a bit of tomb raider / uncharted climbing about. I dont really see too much originality other than the concept - but even that is just another take on a post apocolyptic genre. Reminds me very much of the Jon Shannow novels by David Gemmell. However, i am looking forward to the development of the story as I have enjoyed story quests so far.
I am also finding a lack of caves/relic type sites. I have revealed approx 1 third of the entire map yet only found 3 underground sites. (One of which was a cauldron). Not sure where I am supposed to find another 3 power cells from? Im guessing in the other portions of the map I cant yet get to? Or I missed them in areas i have already been to?
But with all that said, so far I am really enjoying it. There is still an awful lot to like about this game. Plenty to see and do. Great movement over terrain. Freedom to choose how to tackle enemies and machines. Good story and characters / voice acting. A beautifully realised environment and great music/sound. Nothing ground breaking other than perhaps visuals but still a brilliant game all the same.

There are some underground sites, Buffet. One was quite deep. One was deep then quite tall that reminded me of Anno 2027.
I've still to explore the cave in the first part if I can find the way down.
Funny how I used to fear the corruptors but not due to skills and weaponry but how they came about.

Finished it last night, one of the most enjoyable games I've played in awhile. 
Only compliant I have is that overriding had so much potential, but it was so under used.
Not being able to give commands to machines, all the mounts acting the same, all the machines towards the end being corrupted.
I feel that had a really good opportunity to add a worthwhile pet system, but didn't bother.
I'm sure their fine tune it, if there's a sequal.
