Where did you get the hallucination that you were going to be able to reach level 15-20 in this game?
I
NEVER said that. I just said that a lv cap more similar to BG2:SoA(non EE and non ToB installed) or like Dark Sun : wake of the Ravager would be better. Being capped at lv 15 is not that bad. However, see members of Veiled Alliance at lv 18 while you can only reach lv 15 is silly and having members of the Asylum on BG2 and Chapter 2 Liches throwing Stop Time which you need a scroll to cast that spell is silly IMO(note : I an talking about original BG2 with no ToB installed. With ToB installed or EE, you can have 8 M xp on SoA).
My point is simple. If I an playing a post apocalyptic RPG like FNV, I wanna use powerful firearms. I wanna use a anti materiel rifle with explosive .50 bmg rounds to snipe armored robots at 200m+. If I an playing a high fantasy RPG, I wanna use powerful supernatural abilities. 5e already nerfed to oblivion most of my favorite spells. With a lv cap = 10, I will still play BG3 due the fact that few good RPG's are being made, but will not enjoy it more than Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous which allow you to become a Lich and reanimate bosses to serve you(and even on alpha, a lot of people tested Lich), nor like Cyberpunk 2077 which seems amazing.
They give you a small portion of the game to help refine the game's systems
I an not asking for the full game. However, warlocks getting two eldritch blast beams, fighters two attacks and wizards fireball at lv 5 doesn't seems that far fetched for a EA...
Well for me level 4 cap is not a disappointment the thing to remember about the EA is it's just away to fix as many bugs as possibly and it's not going to be easy to level up like in NWN1 and NWN2 in BG3 and the level cap of the full game is level 10 so we are getting just under half of the levels in the EA
You are also ignoring that this games which campaigns up to lv 20 has you taking much more time to level up past lv 10. Even on BG2 for eg, takes more XP to go from lv 11 to 12 than from 1 to 11 as a mage. And despite doing dozens of quests on chapter 2, unless you are with a small party and do all side content possible, you will only reach lv 13+ on chapter 4+.
Right now we know we could use stealth, speak with the dead, use animal handling, summon an improved familiar, destroy walls, use fire, etc... So I think there´s going to be lots of things to do that do not rely on your level.
Yep. I was wrong saying that this game will be only autoattacks because old school games with low level focus are that way,...
