Leveling Up - RPG Confusion - 11/10/20 12:11 PM
So,
Not to be nit picky but I hope BG3 or at least some game in the future solves the level problem. Not really sure how to express this complaint but....
Doesn't it seem odd that if level 6 is so hard to get to then why once we hit "x" level 99% of everone we run into is that level also?
Like in Divinity 2, Once I am level say 12 and I go to where level 12 chars go EVERONE is around the same level, even the hobo in the street. Seems pretty stupid, may as well not even have levels just have gameplay.
I think as you grow in level you grow more powerful and it becomes increasingly rare to find similarly high level characters. Sure, this may mean you can kill 80% of a village but maybe on the back end reputation points accrue and then elminster shoves a fireball up your butt if you are running around burning villages lol.
I just think that the leveling system in RPGs should be more true to game play, just because you hit level 5 doesn't mean everyone else should be level 5 too. If you grew powerful you seem way less powerful when everyone else has the same powers.
Does that make sense?
