[Noelle]

Man why do they have to stop at 12 can you imagine if they let your characters leveled up to 20 man someone should make a mod after the release for 13-20 lol its only 8 levels come on someone can do it

12 is fine and around where most campaigns end.

People asking for things they don't understand is quite common here, welcome

Also there are also mods for level 20 for the ea, they will certainly come. However this story doesn't really feel like a level 20 campaign from all I've seen so far.

I imagine if we had level 12 we'd be waiting until August 2026 to get the game.

High level spells in dnd are stupid powerful and stupidly flexible.

They have around 17,000 endings for level 12. Maybe it's for a later DLC to add more content, balanced enough and retain as many different endings.

You have clearly never played D&D so let me enlighten you: Levels in D&D take a very long time after a while and the powerlevel even above level 10 reaches unreal levels. You really can't compare a level 5 character in this game with a level 5 character in let's say Dragon Age. Each level is an actual huge increase - lvl 20 characters are basically gods.

People here some strange fear of wielding power. Nevertheless i believe Mods will give to us, who have no such fears, all levels we ever would want.

Well I wouldn't say "fear" .. it's more like the jump in power is so crazy high that it'll turn every hand-crafted and carefully balanced encounter into a boring joke.

From what I know about the system, 1-2 levels above what is recommend would basically turn an encounter in "Tactitian Mode" into an encounter in "Story mode".

Fighting a certain Gith patrol on lvl 4 is tough as nails - fighting it on lvl 5 turns it into a rather easy encounter.

a mod for lvl 20 will also have to mod in new spells and stuff , it would be alot of work but possible

[Yojo0o]

I'm sure it'll get modded in, but if available content ends at level 12, I don't really see much value in such a mod. Besides utterly demolishing the world, of course.

There already are mods for all the spells, and they most likely will be updated for release, so that won't be a problem at all.

Pathfinder also have 20 levels and it is great. I don't understand why BG3 has just 12. The real fun begins at later levels.

[Kyutaru]

Lvl 20 introduces capstone abilities that make classes extremely OP. All of these things would need to coded into the game. Not to mention Monk powers that make them invincible at the high end. Spells need animations and effects, some of which break the game rules like Time Stop.
