In Larian's defence, all this is conjecture and assumption based mainly on the fact they used a cap in a past game, and a vague, semi-jokey statement made a long while ago. I think it's premature to assume this level cap thing is even something they're planning. This thread is the first time I've even encountered the idea on the forums.
Thank-you!
Just got home from work, and was going to ask why this thread was still going so hot and heavy. The only reason why there is a level 4 cap is that they haven't designed level 5 yet....moders have.
If they did put a cap then a mod could fix that, but its better they address the issue and make the encounters customizable...say letting the player choose how many levels higher each 'monster' is above the norm (up to x levels higher). Its better to be too hard than too soft for me. Hard encounters can usually be overcome by separating the enemies and picking them off.
I personal like 4 man parties better than 6 (2 support 2 DPS) but 6 is fine by me...I'll still play with 4. I think the decision to only take 4 past a certain point is a logistical decision. Just save the game at that point and copy your saves from each timeline / universe / reality you choose into different folders.
