Hope this isnt a stupid question but i was just wondering what the highest level possible is for this game. I dont want to be able to beat this game in two day like Fable2.

Also, if you kill all the monster in one area, do they respawn or is that it?

Thanks in advance.



Weed. Legalize it already you fcuking morons.

I've heard 80 hours for the entire game... so that shouldn't even be possible in two days unless you're some kind of gaming God and you don't sleep. And, anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure there will be no shortage of baddies to kill in order for you to achieve whatever ridiculous level you want to reach.

80hours for the 8 endings or was it so? or 80hours per playthrough? ;P

80 - 100 hours each playthrough, varying wether you make alot or few, or no side quests at all. I believe that 90 hours is the estimated average.

Oh, and there is not a level cap as far as I know, but I've heard that the devs expect the very devoted players to reach level 18-20.

each playthrough thats sick ;/ awesome ;D^^ love<33

I have the distinct feeling that I've seen this thread before.



1. No hard level cap, but there's only so many experience points in the game. If you do everything, kill everything and see everything, your level will be in the low 20's; 22 has been bandied about as the effective max level. The game will last anywhere from 20 to 80+ hours. A dev recently posted that the fastest time at Bioware is somewhere just under 14 hours (well, somewhere between 13 and 15) - that's with God Mode and tons of crazy insta-kill cheats and skipping all the dialogue and speeding through the main quest only.



2. Very limited respawns. What you kill stays dead for the most part. There may be story reasons why certain areas have monsters if you visit them again, but those are the exceptions.

i don't get why people always say 60 if you do main story and 80 if you do all sidequests. i'd be guessing that there's 30-40 hours of story and another 40 worth of sidequests.
in short, i agree with your estimate.

Bet you i end up with about 120hrs or so. I always end up just looking at trees.

Actually, looking a the toolset wiki it looks like there's a hidden exp cap. I read something about an exp limit, with the wiki saying "after you pass this you silently fail to gain more exp." I would presume that the limit is not reasonably attainable in DA:O though, from what they've said.

No hard level cap?

I mean we have random encounters, right?

[jrastaban]

It doesn't rule out the possibility of a hard cap in the game software, but someone was able to make a character over 100 (OVER 9000 *sorry*) in the CC, of course this required hex editing. I think with people making mods a complete level cap of less than 100 would be ridiculous. No doubt there will be expansions that provide the opportunity go even higher.  

Also, doing all the stuff that one character can should have you ending the game @ ~22 (this was from a dev I believe) I am tacking on an additional 20 hours for my first play through for codex entry reading time!

I strongly suspect that Dragon Age will have similar console commands to NWN and Baldur's Gate. So after my first play through, (and hopefully you can save chars at their respective levels for a new game+ type deal?) if I play the same origin, I may just end up giving my character millions of experience vs DM commands, or console commands.



Max EXP was 8.5 million in BG2 i believe which usually ended up as a level 40 or 50 if you didn't multiclass, Max level in nwn was 40 for players, 60 for NPCs. I'd expect level 40 or so to be your level cap.

[gossipgirl]

The experience cap is at 186k but the level limit is set at 99. I saw a level 22 character have roughly 150k experience, so the cap is probably set at level 25.

[jrastaban]

Thanks gossipgirl, Hopefully that is just a script that can be modded.

[T-9]

Yes, i reached 25 lvl and cannot get more but why manual of DAO says "the number of levels of character development is unlimited", hm...?

I ended the game on my second play through at level 23. My first one at 21. The first time through, it took 51 hours (I read maybe 6 Codex entries), and the second time through it took me about 36 hours. I did most of the non-job-board quests the first time through, and then all the rest the second time through.

[velmyn]

25 is the maximum level. It's 'easily' reachable if you know what to do...No, I'm not talking about a glitch. (Come to think of it it 'may' have been unintentional)



That said, if you simply do all the quests you'll end up somewhere around 21-23.

[jimmyw404]

I'm guessing that velmyn is referring to buying elf root and trading them for xp? But not sure.



Anyway, anyone know of a way to mod away the level cap? Just for ****s n giggles.

That I was...I don't know, it just cheapens the game. If you save up some gold, finish Brecilian Forest asap...then you can simply sit at level 25 for the next half/two-thirds of the game, WITHOUT CHEATING. (orly) It would have been better if it was just one of those turn-in quests that you do once and are done with.

I'm playing a rogue right now and I've decided that I'm just going to stay away from turn-ins. I suspect I'll end up somewhere around 21-22 as before, and will be much more satisfied.

Just curious, about how much XP does it give for a full stack (99) elf root?

I'm not sure because I only tried this mechanic once. However, I do remember comparing the value of 1 gp's worth of mats and the Redcliffe cash turn-in.

Now, don't trust me on this but...I think, 30g for Redcliffe gave 850 xp, 1g's worth of Elfroots, which is a bit less than 2 stacks(I think) gave 890-ish xp, and 1g's worth of Deathroots gave roughly the same. I didn't bother with runes and gems because they aren't available in substantial(unlimited) quantities, and I doubt that they come close to roots.

Yeah, those elves are cheap bastards.

[Aggular]

25 is cap. I maxed leveled one character doing the Wilds Blood Quest and just turning in the blood.

[Crell77]

i to have hit the level cap of 25, and Bioware was bragging there was no hard level cap.

nice of them to hide it like that.

[Rainen89]

There's no way to get to the level cap w/o exploting (infinite gold aka capitalism) or cheating.
