Fallout 1 had level cap at 50. Fallout 2 had level cap at 50. Arcanum has level cap at 50. Logical, no?
A higher level cap means that the developers would have to increase the difficulty rating. Not that it was difficult anyway: I finished the game at level 41 the first time I played, and it was rather easy.
Top Five Things You Should Not Do If You Want Arcanum To Be Challenging:
1. Do [color:"red"]NOT[/color] take Dog as your companion.
2. Do [color:"red"]NOT[/color] walk arround Ashbury cemetary and bash Zombies.
3. Do [color:"red"]NOT[/color] use Harm.
4. Do [color:"red"]NOT[/color] train Sneak and Backstab to Master.
5. Do [color:"red"]NOT[/color] overuse Molotov cocktails.
