Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Why am I not higher level?

This is the real downfall of the game. How come I can't advance past 4th level? No matter how many xps I gain i will never see a 3rd level spell! Come on you guys! If this is the maximum achievable level that's just sad! I don't see how you could think doing all this "work" and not being rewarded is working out for you. Are the bad reviews still coming in or have people already stopped playing?

Bcs there is cap ...
It was advertised multiple times in several occasions that Early Acess WILL be caped for 4.
(even tho there are some voices saying that there is possibility that it will be raised to 5 in the future)

As Ragnarok said. It's usually quite helpful to read a little bit about games you buy (preferably before you buy).

There is a mod which allows you to avoid the capping to level 4: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/118

I'm currently using it, beware, getting to lvl 5 (wich is a huge power increase) trivializes a lot of the fights in the EA game. To have it for the Gith fight, this terrible and bugged underground monster and the horror hooks is nice, however, in my opinion. Also Bernard is easier in a pleasant way.

Like the others said, theres currently a cap in place. Something that is heavily mentioned EVERYWHERE so if you dident know about it you probably dident read the warning text before you confirmed your purchase...
