Fallout 3 level cap

[Inkies19]

Is it just me or is anyone else mad that we don't get a raise in the level cap until the LAST dlc!!

I've done almost all that i can do and so unless Broken Steel is some mega package i dont think i will get to level 30 and that makes me mad because i dont feel like starting over

Anyone else a little mad about this?

I think Bethesda is on record in saying that having level-caps was a mistake they wouldn't implement in any of their future games.
So you aren't the only one that sees it as a downside.

I for one respect that they recognized it was a problem and are working on fixing it. That's more than I can say about some games that are released with problems, but are too stuck up themselves to admit it was a problem (*cough*TooHuman*cough*). The DLC side-stories and extra content are looking great.

Bethesda has proven themselves to be a competent developer.

If you got the PC version, mods have already fixed this problem I'm quite sure(Gogo PC version!).

I don't use it myself though, Fallout is a smaller game compared to Oblivion, and it seems to encourage multiple play-throughs. I'm on my third character at the moment, unlike Oblivion, I sort of enjoy making a character, throwing 20-40 hours at it, then switching it up to something new. Level-cap helps with that I think, as well as the way the skill system is set up.

yeah i had noticed this change in Oblivion. I personally do not like it because in Morrowind i loved being able to advance my character as much as possible. I have the same problem in Oblivion and Fallout.

level caps are not cool. i can understand like a max of mana or health. but not levels.

i stopped playing fallout 3 just a short time after i level capped and i'm sure i'll pick it up here and there trying to make it to the end but i don't think i'll play it seriously until they raise the cap . luckily that's not so far off!

Yeah, it's pretty stupid, and it kind of defeats the replayability of the game after you beat all of the missions and quests. I guess the only upside is that they learned from it and it more than likely won't be implemented again.
