I really have a problem with this community when it comes from these games and it makes me hate most of you. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but with the Trainers, exploits, modding and just about everything else you can do in games now, when I read "duheeer the balance of gameplay expectations for myself to have a very difficult time playing this game and barely enjoying each battle as it is the only way I can have fun and justify my existence". Its a video game. I love D&D and i'm looking forward to a nice challenge, but c'mon guys. You shouldn't be hoping for a lower level cap or suggesting one. level 20 in this game doesn't seem far fetched, as there are 5 more, presumably much larger, chapters in this game. Now, do I expect there to be a level 20 cap? No, I do not. I would like there to be, without waiting 6 years for a sequel. I will use save editors and cheats, and I will have fun my own way. Second playthrough? Whole party of Gods, because why not? Its a game, its supposed to be fun. They aren't going to have professional D&D tournaments for esports lol (which is ridiculous). Please stop trying to blunt fun for others, because you don't like something. There is potential for higher levels as we know of at least ONE Adult Red Dragon in this game, which is a Challenge 17. I would want the full template just for the DM mode they are talking about having. Sorry to seem hostile, but as a life long gamer, I just dont understand why you want so much to take away. Ask for Filters if you feel it would affect your game, stop leveling your character at a certain point. Just stop trying to affect everyone else.
