Get GOTY edition. Problem solved.

A low level cap doesn't mean it will be easy to level up.Well im not talking about fallout but you don't need to have 9,999 levels for the game to be awesome.

So the only reason you play the game is to level up? That seems kinda weird. Really this is just another reason the PC version is the best! You can manually de-level yourself and keep the skills etc gained. If you do it too much it can bug out on you, but thats easily avoidable.

I thought it was the other way round? In Fallout you are really strong at level 20/30 but in Oblivion the enemy level up with you indefinitely. Hence why at high levels you had thiefs going about in glass armor. I had to mod the PC version to stop this because my character was actually getting weaker relative to the rest of the world after every time I leveled up lol XD

Why would I play a RPG if I don't want to level up?

Seems pointless to do all the side missions now that I know I'll be missing out on all the experience points.

I didn't realize it was so low, glad I got the goty edition. I'm not even half way through the story and I'm almost level 18.

Why would you play a game designed to tell a story in an interactive way? That is seriously a question?

What do you do when you max out in Final Fantasy...

You do side quests and get more of the story...

Jesus Role Playing Games aren't defined by leveling up it's defined by playing a role and questing how you want to, nothing more, the rules and standards of role playing can vary greatly from designer to designer, sometimes not even having a leveling system rather an equipment system ala Monster Hunter or WoW after you reach level 80 or in this case Fallout when you hit 20/30.

Almost all RPGs have a level cap.

I haven't played Fallout 3 yet (will pickup GOTY soon), but if this is the case then I won't have to grind much when I play it, which is a good thing for me I think.
