As stated above. The level cap is as advertised, as is the available content.
Also as stated above, per the full release your savegame will be unusable. You will have to start over to play the full release, potentially, even, another patch. Also as advertised.
Therefore, you're supposed to play what is currently available with the levels available.
What I’m wanting to see is some elaboration on what to expect as act 2 & 3 are developed and released. I am fully aware, that upon the completed full release of the game that previously saved data will not be usable.
I have read Lorian’s early access release statement several times, and there isn’t any mention of what happens to game data prior to the games full release as new content is released in the early access release.
I think it’s only fair for Lorian to provide further insight regarding how saved data and level caps will be managed as new content is introduced. I’d like to know if as new content is released (not meaning patches for bug fixes) I should expect to start from the beginning each time, or if my saved game data will available throughout the early access until the full release. This will greatly impact my play style throughout the early access.
Knowing which way this will be handled before hand will likely save players a lot of frustration and prevent an incredible amount of venting in the public forums.
This is Lorian’s statement regarding early access content. There isn’t any mention of how saved game data or level caps will be managed.
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“The Early Access version of Baldur’s Gate 3 includes Act 1 of the game which, in one playthrough, is approximately 25 hours of self-contained content. 6 player classes are supported and 9 races/subraces with more to be added later. There are 5 origin characters which you can recruit (but not play as for now). Most of Baldur’s Gate 3’s advertised features are included though some are still work in progress. Not every language is currently supported, as our writers are still developing the game which makes translation difficult.
We’ve worked hard to release an Early Access version that feels complete, fun to play, and has as little stub (unfinished) content as possible. There are bugs and there will be changes to content (often based on player feedback), but our goal is to already now give you something that’s genuinely fun to play.”
