August 7, 20187 yr White March added many new abilities and a cap of 16 but this time it seems like Obsidian was preemptive and really wants a limit of 20. Any thoughts?
August 7, 20187 yr Maybe. There's already at least one mod out there to raise the level cap, though I can't exactly exactly recommend it for that purpose, as it messes around with combat values and other things. But I took it as something of a baseline and reverse engineered it to 'just' raise the level cap for personal use. Then again, the game is difficult enough to balance when level 8/9 abilities enter the picture, so maybe not. Wouldn't surprise me to either see the cap eventually raised to 23 or 24. Also wouldn't surprise me to see the rate of experience gain get hit with a nerf bat. The major concern with slowing the rate of level gain is for the folks who don't get the DLCs or only get one of them. Making it so Base Game + 3 DLC = Just barely reach level 20 near the end is kinda a bad look for folks who aren't getting all of the DLCs. Then again, when folks play all three DLCs they will hit the cap even sooner than they do in the base game, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
