Bethesda to raise Fallout level cap to 30

33
Eurogamer: "Bethesda Softworks plans to raise the Fallout 3 level cap to 30 in the upcoming downloadable content for the game.

"Along with removing the game's 'ending' with Broken Steel, we figure raising the level cap would allow them to [enjoy the game for longer]. We plan on raising it to level 30 - but it will be a long, hard climb to get there!" the DLC's lead producer Jeff Gardiner told Eurogamer in an exclusive interview today.

Broken Steel will be the third instalment of DLC and is due out in March. The bulk of today's interview - and three new screenshots - concern the first part, Operation: Anchorage, which is due out this month."

IMHO the game as is (vanilla) is very, very disappointing in the capping and how the main story plays out. It's unfortunate that Bethesda decided to try out the DLC money train, but sadly this is expected given that they've moved onto consoles.

I await the massive huge full package for the PC, how long I wait is unknown...

Well the PC already has dlc not coming to the consoles. G.E.C.K. the map editor which you could make a whole new town with people and dialog as well! That's pretty cool but only for PC :( though you are probably right Tempist there will be a pack later. After all they did get a few GOTY awards so there will be that edition coming out later in the year ;)

edit: but the game as is rocks the house >< no way it's a disappointment!

The game is awesome, the Level 20 cap was disappointing, but I can see why they did it. Because at the end of the game you would just be too good at Level 99, so it forces you to choose perks carefully and upgrade certain skills more than others.

I got the PS3 version not knowing about this exclusive DLC, but i dont really care. Even if I had the 360 version I wouldnt pay the price of another game for some extra levels. Same if it was exclusive PS3 dlc.

DLC is pointless and who actually buys it anyway. I wish these developers would stop making DLC and start making new games. Especially Rockstar North.

But i do agree about the level cap. But then if they did remove it would people buy the DLC ? Probably not

2 - This is great news. Superb game and look forward to bigger/tougher battles
I hope the PS3 owners get this too, despite the stories of no DLC on the PS3. Everyone deserves this in this great game.

You can already do this in the PC version through the console. It's a shame that the PS3 version got shafted, but whatever...

They may remove the level cap if your lucky. You might miss the extra content, but I think that's the least they can do. I haven't played much of F3 but my buddies have moaned about the cap quite a few times.

I love this game and can't wait for all 3 DLC packs. Plus with a raise to 30 this game is going to get me over 150 hours easy. Already sounds like great additions to the game.

At least it wont be a huge let down like Mass Effect DLC....Here's a moon that is kind of fun for a few hours, Then...Here are some Crickets. =/

That Mass Effect DLC was disappointing. And they never followed up with anything else.

PSh I got up to 150 hours without the DLC :)

Though I am getting pumped up for the extra missions and that rise of level cap. I wonder what the new ending will be as well. They already have a couple endings!

True on the Mass Effect dlc. It was fun and could be played a few times to see the different conversations/happenings but yeah it was only one. Why didn't they give us another one :(

Well PS360WII, I think this is where I insert the "Get a job blast" Seriously. Even though I bought this game Day 1 I was playing Fable II and finishing a few other games...Plus Gears of War 2, So I back-burnered this game and just got into it major around a month ago...Now my biggest problem is finding the time to play it non-stop. Stupid Job! It is the bringer of games and the reason I can't play them!

Seriously though I have seen you on my Friends List tearing it up. I am like damn, This dude plays a lot of FO3. =)

I could see easily getting to 150-200hrs without the DLC too BTW.

Im all for competition in the console market but, when it comes to content that involves raising a lvl cap or something significant like that. I think devs should keep in mind that they have a fanbase outside of the the usual pc/360. I know in this day and age "money is money" and you are a fool to give it up right? I just think it is getting out of hand. Hopefully Bethesda and future devs wake up but, I doubt it.

interesting, I didn't even know there was a lvl cap at 20. I've been playing Fallout3 for the last three weeks and I just reached lvl 18. So I guess I only have 2 lvls to go in till Feb.

10 - What did they mean about "removing the games ending"?
Are you going to now be able to continue to play after you complete the main quest?

11 - Fallout 3 is asuch a great game
I'm so glad I purchased it for my 360.
Leveling up past 20 is sure giving me at least 100 hours of gameplay.
Amazing.

I wonder what other DLC is comming out

It's a shame this ain't coming out for the PS3 as it was definately one of the best games of last year.

I can hardly wait for the DLC. I've been capped at 20 for quite some time with plenty more to do on the first (of 3) character I created. Too bad for achievements whores though with only 50 (instead of 250) per DLC unless that was a misprint.
