Level 4

[curtio rico]

Is level four going to be the maximum character level in early release?

[Streeja]

yes, is my guess based on EA stopping at Act 1. I dont recall Larian officially stating the level cap for EA, but it makes since.

I imagine its because they probably havent figured in all the skills or what content they have now behind closed doors isnt ready and balanced for the skills.

With only act one during EA you will not get enough xp to reach level 5 anyway. At least not without moding in xp reward changes.

As much as that pains me... Even though it is easy to unlock the xp cap which is set at 5000xp in EA. It makes little difference with no spells, or class abilities structured in the game right now for higher levels.

This is due to the CAP not XP. there is more than enough XP to get to 6.

Thanks. We have not even come close to the Underdark and easily would reach level 5 if it was available.

You may think that but one change to the data.txt file line 457: key MaximumXPCap","5000" and and a change to XPData.txt to reflect 5e level advancement and you can advance as for as you want. There is just no XP in Act1.

key "Level1","300"
key "Level2","600"
key "Level3","1800"
key "Level4","3800"
key "Level5","5100"
key "Level6","9000"
key "Level7","11000"
key "Level8","14000"
key "Level9","16000"

aside from needing more than double all the XP need to reach level 4 just to reach level 5 there is other snag in advancement in the XP advancement table; it gives no rewards once you get past level 5. You would also need to edit this table or you get nothing no matter what you do.

If one kills everything in Act 1 but Druid's Grove and the Myconid Colony, how much total exp is that, dataminers?

[Streeja]

The fact that more xp is available on the map does not mean we can or should hit level 5+ in early access. The current encounters are all currently set to level 4 max. That means if we could get level 5 or 6 the encounter balance doesn't support it.

Then the question becomes will they add content to Act 1 while in EA. I haven't seen Larian say this yet. Someone can jump in if they have.

And then of course they need the additional spells, skills, mechanics etc that level 5+ brings.

Based on what I have seen from Larian, I just don't see any of this happening in EA. I would love it, so don't get me wrong, it would be great. But also not trying to get my hopes up for disappointment.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“Leading up to release you can expect a plethora of incremental improvements and new features to be added to the game, as well as the inclusion of new classes and races. The 1.0 release will include the full game including Acts 2 and 3.”


I am hoping NEW FEATURES means more spells. MAYBE the rest of ACT 1.

New Classes and races are confirmed.

Honestly it would be a smart thing to eventually at least let level 5 be a thing once they've got more classes/races in to test that first big power spike and how if affects the current balance of the game.

@Aldain

i totally agree with you
There are major changes with level 5

@guard65

there are enough XP for Level 5, almost for level 6

I may have to start a character at level 4 or 5 and kill everything with my op team to sort out all the quests and kills. My game is not xp / level capped but I have not played since before the update except to test the mods I have created.

If you're a murder-hobo and see everything that walks as a sack of XP, I am sure you can get to at least lv 7
