Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Why level cap in BG3 should stay low imo

I still remember playing Eye of the beholder 1-2 back in the 90ies and so much liked the possibility to import my party from EOB1 to EOB2.

The addiction of those old days i somehow feel now again. 20/30 years later, as family father i now again am thrown back into my youth days and would even try to play BG3 with my son, but unfortunately because of the realistic violence my son is still a bit too young. I miss a bit of the atmosphere (maybe because you had to use your imagination more at those times where graphics were bad) - maybe memory plays tricks on me - but addiction to play this kind of game has me back definately.

So I really hope that we will see a BG4 and BG5 with the opportunity to continue with the same (self created) party. And why shouldn't they already playing with the idea of creating a BG4 given the enormous success (already paying players) in EA of BG3. So if they are aiming on a sequel it would be very important to not level up too high in BG3 (and i am already overwhelmed by the number of spells there are till lev4).

Also the spells in D&D get way too powerful at high levels, and the game is in danger of getting too complex concerning balance of oponents.

So why not take it easy and instead of giving higher max levels in BG3 - just strech the levels by :

for example allow increased number of party members (higher than 4) - somewhere around lev 6 you can have 5 members, at 8 you have 6 members

... (place any other idea here) to bridge the resulting longer time without level icrease (something like a half-level bonus inbetween)

This way you have always something to aim for even though you increase to only something around lev10.

So i hope for no more additional D&D levels in BG3 higher than lev10, so that there is still something to have left for future upgrades.

I somehow do not like the idea of playing a BG3 till lev12/14 and then just start over at BG4 (and i bet they will go for a BG4 or similar) again with new chars at lev1, losing the bond to my current party that i built up in 200-300 expected hours of gameplay in BG3...
