Damnit, should have found this mod you speak of, it always irked me the level up system Oblivion had, which was awful cause otherwise the game was positively awesome.

Yeah, the XP system Bethesda uses is one that sounds great in theory (you'll get better at the things you do most), I've got lots of problems with it in practice. I don't worry about throwing endless fireballs at walls to get better at that because that's now how I play, but I do feel dumb running around everywhere to get better at jumping. Right after modding the compass to just show direction, I loaded up a 1.5 - double XP needed. I may try oout the XP mod if I decide to play it again.

Totally agree, Od Nua and all companions' side quest are completely not necessary to complete the game (not for me, but that's just me), monsters/NPCs in the 3rd act are tailored for a party that isn't more than lvl12, to be honest they are pretty easy already.

The other point is, Pillars is what Baldur's Gate 1 was, the 1st chapter of a possible longer story, if they remove the lvl cap, or set it high, what should they put in the next game as adversaries/monsters? Gods?

Here's the link to it if you want to see how the level screens look using it, and read about it:

Oh yeah, this is the one for Oblivion. Pretty sure there is one for morrowind and skyrim as well.

I too find the level too low for all the xp I have left to earn before end game. :-s
Do want more level ups!

They'll probably add some more when they release the first expansion.

Just dled it, next run I do of Oblivion I will definitely try it out, thanks for the link!!!

To anyone who wants the mod to increase the cap from 12 to 15 but can't find it, here's the link:

Make sure you read it to make sure you get the right one for your patched version of the game, and if you are using the IEMod or not. There are two versions of each of those 2 things, regular xp requirements and a version that increases the amount of xp you need to gain between each level (slower leveling).

And backup the file it over-writes just in case.

Also, it states that each level after 12 only benefits your characters offensive and defensive traits - there is no more choosing additional abilities or talents. Which is a good balance.
