‘Fallout 4’ Factoids: No level cap, can keep playing after story ends
Fallout 4 is going to ruin my life. And I cannot wait.
Fallout 4 players will be able to continue exploring the post-apocalyptic Commonwealth, and keep leveling up, after finishing the game’s main story, developer Bethesda Game Studios announced today on Twitter.
In fact, Fallout 4 doesn’t have a level cap at all, said Bethesda.
This is a major departure from the previous Fallout games, all of which had level caps. And it means that the experience players earn from side quests and other activities that they do after completing the main quest line will be worthwhile.
Bethesda said previously that it’s revising the way enemy difficulty is scaled upward along with the player’s level, a change that likely goes hand-in-hand with the removal of a level cap.
“We call it rubberbanding; we’ll have an area [where enemies scale from] level 5 to 10, and then this area will be level 30 and above,” Fallout 4 game director Todd Howard told Game Informer at E3.
