The level cap has been a bit of an issue for Fallout 3 fans, particularly those intent on exploring the Capitol Wastes in their entirety. Thankfully, it looks like Bethesda will be addressing the issue soon.
Speaking with Eurogamer about Fallout 3's upcoming DLC Operation Anchorage, lead producer Jeff Gardiner also dropped a few details about Broken Steel, the planned third installment. Among them, Gardiner said that the level cap would be going up to thirty.
Bethesda vice president of public relations and marketing Pete Hines had previously said that Bethesda had no plans to raise the level cap, but when asked, Gardiner said, "Pete was talking about the level cap in the game as it was released. Level 20 is plenty tough. But we felt there's no harm in letting the player enjoy the game as long as they'd like, and so along with removing the game's "ending" with Broken Steel, we figure raising the level cap would allow them to do that."
Broken Steel will be coming in March. In the meantime, Fallout 3 players can look forward to Operation Anchorage at the end of the month, as well as The Pitt. Should give you plenty of practice as you get ready to move up those final ten levels.
