Max Stats at 20 / Perks and potions getting useless

[odhrain]

If you max out the levels at the end, more and more perks and potions become useless or even negative. You cannot go over 20 by the bonuses.

Balanced Diet, Burgher, Savage, Brute, Golden Tongue, Juggler, Cloak and Dagger, Ken, Scholar, Infamous, Highborn, Lowborn, Silver Tongue, Knight in shining Armor, Flower Power, 3 Magister perks, Crouching, Against all Odds, Sadist, Daring Debonair, Fragrance, Saville Row, Art Connoisseur

Bowman’s Brew, Amor, Aesop, Artemisia, Bard, Embrocation and Padfoot potion,

All useless. Why not a cap at 20 + Bonus? Is there any mod that increases the cap?

P.S.: There are in addition Perks that are useless for other reasons:

More damage to animals by Huntsman? I already kill all animals with one arrow hit.

Not being thrown of as Jockey outside combat? I am only thrown off if I race headfirst into roof overhangs. And I am also thrown of in that case with the perk.

Scout 1 to 3. I can already escape 100% of all fast travel events.

Secret pockets gives a so low gold value that it does not matter at all.

Why Steak Tartare when there is a cooking pot everywhere? I did never run out of non raw food.

Colleague to become cheaper books? If you need to buy like 40 books, you save like 4000 groschen?

Why Avid Reader, when there are no time limits? You do not need to read while sleeping or skipping time.

Unless you're doing a hardcore run I found the game much more fun without any perks at all. Either they do nothing or they make you too powerful too fast.

Can need all the help I get in HC though.

Yeah these perks help ALOT on a hardcore run with all negative perks. It makes everything usefull. I would suggest you try a hardcore run.

I play KCD mostly for the story and enviroment. Likely no time and reason for hardcore. And you will run into the same problem at hardcore. Bandworm or Sleepwalker have no negativ affect to the stats. And as you level up slower, you will only run into the problem later.

But if you pick numb-skulled you will level up REALLY slow. Currently at over 25 hours into my run and my highest stat is at 10.

I am at 200 hours and not finished with my first playthrough. In the end slower leveling is only a question of how many time you must invest to reach the cap. It doesn´t solve the problem.
