NWN2 went from one to twenty. It didn't have nine acts or whatever arbitrary number.
Then it had an expansion that went up to level thirty.

As far as how far BG3 goes, whatever. I'm just pointing out that the common excuse for not going to twenty is that twenty is "too powerful." In my opinion, those are just words. It's simply not true.
Again, I don't care what the actual cap is. I suppose I'm just deeply tired of rhetoric and mistruths where everyone gets on board nodding their heads like it's some kind of undeniable sage wisdom.
Bah humbug.
Well THAT I agree with. It's clearly doable, but it's just not reasonable to expect a development studio to do that all at once. I think if they fix the game up, restore cut content and it sells like crazy then we have a real chance at seeing that.
