Thanks for the feedback everyone! Once again new to EA so didn't know how much experience scaling would change, but sounds like it will most likely be reviewed/adjusted to some extent prior to launch.
Also, I completely agree that 12 is the more realistic max and when I mentioned lvl 16 above that is the highest I can imagine (although very unlikely) it going. I just used lvl 16 in the example to give the most generous level spread. I personally agree with some of you on the max likely falling between 12-14. I think a spread of levels 1-7 in Act 1, 8-10 in Act 2, 11+ in Act 3 would be ideal; but I completely trust Larian to balance the game as needed.
Either way, I can't wait for August!
