RPG with infinite character progression?

[Tensar]

I would like to play a rpg like divinity original sin 2 but with an endless progression.

What games offer an endless character progression?

No lvl cap, or no stats caps, always have the possibility to have a better character and still have a playable game (with no one shot)

Kind of reminds me of the apple exploit in oblivion.

At some point, you break the game.

And still be fun? Zero I can think of.

I don't think my Fallout 4 is modded for it, it just comes this way? I have a level 104 character still beating up on things that might hurt him. After a while, you run out of perks to buy though.

If you have a game with levels, however, it's just bad design to let those levels continue infinitely. Most games don't offer this, because they've learned from ... like, pacman and space invaders.

Best bet would probably be some of the Rogue-like games. Off my head, things like Dwarf Fortress and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead basically go on forever until your character(s) die... even then you can keep playing in that same "World" but roll a new character, you can probably make it to your old place and see it in ruins or something else move in.

Disgaea series are the closest I can think of and several are on steam. It's not infinite but you could literally spend thousand of hours to boost stats up to this point

or literally break it so the stats go off the screen

I broke disgaea so hard that it couldn't generate a single number for all of my stats. They were just continuously rolling. I think I had like 40 reincarnations on laharl and then slapped him in a level 100 robosuit. I had to stop going in the status screen because it would lag the game

Still searching for a game with infinite character progression, or something close of it.

Yep. Fallout 4 is pretty much infinite leveling. I mean, the actual final level is 65,535 and only because the game will crash after reaching that level. Not because it is a hard coded level lock. Im sure a mod exists to fix this and make the game have a truly infinite level.

Diablo 3?

[Ⓥenom Ⓢnake 🐍]

It's freaking Disgaea any of the Makai Kingdom games. You make sure character out at 9999, then you reincarnate back to level 1 with massively improve stats and you do it again.

Any of those games I can break with enough time. Main character in Phantom Brave she moved 255 times before the first enemy got to act and she could pretty much kill anything that did finally Act when's 1 hit no matter what level of want dungeon we were doing for item leveling

In any game you will need to have progression caps. Computers are limited to specific numbers and infinity is only a theory in computer programming. "As of 2020, there is no such way to represent infinity as an integer in any programming language so far." You could add multiple values together to get a very huge number, but never endless. If you want endless there are games with 1000+ hours of entertainment, you just have to find the ones you like.

[Amygdala]

MMORPGs yeah

Second best is probably ARPGs like Diablo, Grim Dawn, the Adventures of Van Helsing, Titan Quest, etc. Even if you get to the "end" you'll be trapped in a cycle of endlessly creating new characters and making different builds with Microsoft Excel open next to you

[Magma Dragoon]

Eternal League of Nefia has a stat cap but you won't reach it before getting bored with it. Even if you know to brew and buy potions of potential at every opportunity and eat nothing but curaria seasoned with curaria it will take hundreds of hours and years and years of game time to do this on top of actually completing the main quest.

Fallout 2?
