No level cap in next Fallout?
Bethesda has hinted MTV that the next Fallout might not have have a level cap.
When executive producer Todd Howard was asked what the greatest lesson the company had learned from Fallout 3 he repsonded: “Greatest lesson? Don’t let the game end, and don’t have a level cap.”
Of course, this isn’t 100% confirmation of Fallout 4, or that if there is such a game in the works, that it won’t have a level cap, but we’d thought we’d tell you about it nonetheless.
Bit more through the link.

Hey, I *like* level caps, so long as it’s a level cap of 99, a la Diablo.

I’ve played Fallout 3 for over 240 hours (no exaggeration, no lie). You have to get to level 20 three times if you want all the achievements (good, bad, neutral). That being said, I can’t wait for Fallout 4. Incredible experience, Todd. Thank you!

For the level-based achievements, I just loaded up my level 19 saves and got the required karma before levelling to 20. I did a good playthrough, then loaded up my old saves and mopped up the rest of the achievements in about 30 minutes.

I didnt mind the level cap, thou it would have been better to limit it at 30 than 20.
Level 20 just seemed so low.
The game ending though was a mistake though.
We want to keep playing, not have to reload to a prior save to see everything.
I can’t wait to see what Elder scrolls goodness bethesda has in store for us in 2010. Im also very curious what splash damage is doing for bethesda, a fallout 3 based shooter?

@theevilaires: You’re playing fallout 3 on a 360? WTF?
