Level cap beter or not?

YMMV ofc, I know most people want "challenge", but I don't. I feel more free if I'm vastly superior to everything else.

I'll vote no. Bethesda's game philosophy is about as much freedom as tech allows. A yes vote infers a deep level of either self control issues or a tad bit of sadism.

As long as the decision you make upon character progression doesn't turn you into a master of everything. Skyrims system was bad.

You should be forced to either be ok at everything but amazing at nothing or amazing at a couple things but pretty bad at others.

You should be able to be a master of everything if you put enough time into it to earn it.

Hmm. If you get a perk each level, then more levels = more perks, regardless of what you'd prefer (also, more of any default stat gains, like hitpoints). No self control issues there.

(Note: this doesn't mean I'm one of those "Self-nerf? How dare they expect me not to play utterly min/max perfectly within the framework they give?!?!?" silly people. I'm plenty able to pick a less-than-ideal build.... actually, I tend to do that normally. Min-max doesn't come naturally to me. Doesn't mean that I still don't mind having limits on character development.)

Anyway, I liked Fallout 3 better with the 20 cap, rather than the 30 they added in Broken Steel. Only fix it could have had was getting to the 20 cap a bit slower (I was 20 before halfway through the main quest, with a number of sidequests still undone, in my first playthrough.)

If the level to power level ratio is similar I'd be ok with just a lvl 20 cap pre-expansions. Plus playing on the easiest setting makes being a wasteland god much easier, which I do.

My personal opinion would be to have a "low" level cap such as 20 OR more preferable to have an option to turn exp off.
Give us an option to toggle off exp and u can get rid of the level cap and both sides would be happy, actually I think more people would be happy because people who don't want a level cap can get what they want and people who do want level caps can decide to cap it at whatever level they chose to.
Can u imagine trying to beat the game and doing all the quests and still being level 1???

^ That would be awesome

Fairly certain it's not like that at all, but it'd be pretty cool
