Yeah you can go to level 20 in 5e but they may keep it around level 10 in anticipation of a sequel. Baldurs gate 4
If we're already looking that far into the future, I'm thinking DLC's could do a better job.
The issue is largely rhetorical; BG2 could perhaps more rightfully have been called a DLC (this was before the internet made DLCs prevalent) as opposed to a full game/sequel.
Larian typically makes smaller free DLCs. On top of that they released free downloadable content in the form of improved versions of both D:OS1 & 2 about a year after full release. This is a policy that makes Larian pro-consumer unlike much of an industry where cynical practices have become the standard.
I would almost be SHOCKED if we didn't see a sequel within a year or two of BG3 release, whatever term they use on it.
