Bethesda Raising Fallout 3 Level Cap
The Capital Wasteland of Fallout 3 is quite a vast area with tons of locations to explore. Over the next rise you might find an abandoned gas station, or maybe an abandoned military facility bursting at the seams with advanced weapons, armor and more ammunition than you can shake a stick at. Many gamers ignored the storyline, choosing instead to wander amongst the survivors, helping them in their struggles or taking advantage of their weakness. Unfortunately many of us found that after exploring a tiny portion of the world we had already hit level twenty.
Several downloadable content packs are set to debut later this year and the third of them, Broken Steel, will make two big changes to the game. First it’ll raise the level cap to thirty, allowing for your characters to become even more powerful and giving extra exploration a little more of an incentive. It’ll also remove the ending of the game, allowing you to continue exploration of the wasteland once you’ve completed the main storyline. Unfortunately the content is still exclusive to the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game, so PS3 owners will be stuck at level 20 until further notice.
