Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Level Cap

Just because you don't like an idea does not mean someone should be fired.

I'm sorry but this is a HUGE sore point with me. Back before I was on disability, I worked ALLOT of customer service jobs, and I could not count how many times some guy or gal wanted someone fired because their burger did not have cheese on it, or they forgot to say 'no pickles' and expected the worker to read their minds. Or they ordered the wrong meal and decided it was our fault.

I once put up a pizza for 'Smith'. I actually said 'Large sausage & hamburg pizza for Smith. Large sausage & hamburg pizza for Smith. ' over the mic and had to turn to grab another order. Pizza is gone. Smith comes up a minute later (he was in the bathroom), and wonders where his pizza went. I'm confused, because I thought he grabbed it off the counter. We had to make him a replacement pizza, as fast as we could since he was going to a movie with his kids. So he's upset.
Another 5 minutes go by, a 60 year old lady stomps up and starts screaming that we made her VEGGIE PIZZA wrong, and the cook should be fired, and I was incompetent...and then her pizza is put up on the rack, having just finished cooking. (Note: All order have a receipt with the name the customer gave us on it)
This lady heard me say 'SAUSAGE AND HAMBURGER PIZZA FOR SMITH', took it, ate half of it, then realized it was not her pizza..and blamed us. She wanted to be comped her pizza, which she got, hot and ready. I repeat; She wanted us to give her her pizza for free, because she stole someone else's.
Even after she got HER pizza, she was yelling about how stupid we were, and how she was going to call corporate and get us fired. Over HER mistake. She did not ask if it was her pizza. It was clearly sitting on a tray, not covered, with MEAT all over it, and SHE ATE HALF OF IT.
But it was our fault.

People will lie by ordering 'A hamburger, no cheese' and then scream they wanted a cheeseburger, or take the wrong order, so they can get people fired while attempt to get a freaking $6.00 burger meal for free. They don't care that getting someone demoted or fired could cost them food, or an apartment, or their car. They just want instant gratification as the cost of everyone else.

So I bloody loathe when someone gets upset over something and says 'Well <x> should be reviewed/demoted/fired!'.
It does not matter that that could leave some poor worker ultimately homeless, or starving, no. You're unhappy, and someone must pay for it.

Sorry. It just really tweaks me after I spent so long in customer service.

From every site I have visited or community I am part of, I can easily say nearly half is upset about one thing or another, Yes someone should have a job review with those stats IMO

mages will be basically useless until level 5-6, which I assume would be halfway through the game.

Not really. It's the internet; someone will ALWAYS be upset. Lots of someones.
Just because someone is upset does not mean someone should get fired or reviewed or demoted, because you can't please everyone. Ever. Too many different personalities and worldviews and personal opinions to ever please anyone.

No epic levels... more Doom everyday. I really cant believe this company got this contract, or maybe someone at WotC needs to have a job review?

I can't believe Wizards of the Coast own D&D. In my opinion they've done very little good with the franchise beyond 3.5

One level every 10 hrs of game play.. I dont even need to argue with you it says it all. And I did say someone at WotC should have there job reviewed as well...

Hey now! 4th Edition was...

Hey now! Fifth Edition is perfectly fine!

:P

But 3.5 edition was a lot better than 4th edition and 5th edition

They'll probably do a few "house rules" to help them if so.

As an aside, I wonder what the 10 level cap means for multiclassing. 5/5 max (or 7/3, etc)? Or will you be able to go beyond ten max combinded levels? If so, everyone will be multiclassing to 10/10.

The reason BG1 had a level 10 cap was because D&D at the time was designed around maxing out at level 10.

I'm not used to be agree with you, but yea lvl 10 sounds also good to me^^

It wasn't so bad in BG1. You really feel like a noob in the beginning but you could feel the characters becoming more powerfull at each level up... but never OP.

Actually, I don't believe the level cap will be ten, I think it'll be twenty like the core rules. Maybe they're presently working on all the content for levels 1-10, for early access you know. Given the purported length of the game, and the relatively fast leveling in 5e, ten levels doesn't make much sense. Unless, of course, they plan to use milestone leveling, though one notices XP being handed out in the demo for combat.

Can you say anything about the level cap?

NickP: We’re planning to cover levels 1 through 10 in full release.
