RPG with infinite character progression?
I would like to play a rpg with an endless progression.

What games offer an endless character progression? Maybe Hack&Slash? But when I look at them I don't find many with infinite character progression there is always a real limit.

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).

The game I know with most of this is Chronicon, we can endless 3 stats endlessly and there is an infinite dungeon.

Skyrim is good for that too.

Over 2 billion levels (that's a "B") and you can continuously improve your character as you go.

Sure it's not "infinite", but we do have to give some consideration to the poor hardware!

You can be killed but it's not that big a deal. All your gold will drop where you died, you just have find your way back there and not run into whatever killed you.

Not interested in POE, I missed the train already and I think there is a cap.

In online games I think there is Black Desert Online and Diablo 3 (4?) with infinite levels but I missed the trains too.

FATE seem interesting

The first Torchlight has an endless dungeon once you progress so far in the normal one, iirc.

Its been along time since I actually played it.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth (Level cap 999)

Siralim series is a monster-collector game with no level cap.\
I've put a lot of time into Siralim 3, but Siralim Ultimate is the most recent one.

The max level in Elden Ring is 713 and you can achieve this by increasing every attribute to 99.
Rune Factory 3 Has A Level Cap Of 10,000
Also check Nioh 2 and Hades

Nioh 2 don't have an infinite progression, it's more like dark souls
Hades have an endless mode? I already checked and it look like we are limited in our character progression, rooms are not endless

I didn't like Siralim

I never actually knew the rune factory level cap until I read this, on RF4 I'm like level 2000ish and just gave up on ever hitting cap.

Rune factory as a series also has a deceptively complex item crafting system. It's a min/maxers paradise.

Still have hope to found games like that

Elona is pretty much what you want. Its a free game (you can find it and its modded versions on its own wiki). Its basically a roguelike rpg that allows you to build your character however you want. Want to be a shotgun toting wizard with time stopping bullets? Go for it. Want to be a snail that's specialized into martial artistry? Sure. Want to travel from town to town selling trade goods and playing the piano or some instrument in the bar to make your money? Sure.

All valid styles of play.

Isn't there always a technical limit on a integrr variable? It can be really big, but it's still far from infinity

There's few and they're far from comparison.
Diablo 2+3 are both quite extensive in how far you'll take a singular character but that's Blizzard..so Path of exile is a great Alternative. Then there's the obvious games, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim. Technically Dark souls as well, but the only gratification you'll get from a dark souls(like) game is setting challenges for yourself. I'll also mention Old school Runescape as well just because you'll probably never max an account, ever unless you have little to no life like me.

Dark Souls (and souls like) have stats capped at 99 no? So there is a limit
