There are good reasons why BG3 levels stop at 12.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Baldur's Gate 3 is based on Dungeons & Dragons 5e, but players won't be able to reach the maximum level of 20 in this video game version of the beloved tabletop RPG. The maximum level in BG3 is 12, which is higher than it was in the early access version of the game but doesn't quite match with D&D's max.
A Higher Level Cap Would Completely Change Baldur's Gate 3 Those who've taken part in a D&D campaign might already know that the higher a character's level gets, the stronger the spells that character can access. An interview with Larian's founder Swen Vincke, on PC Gamer, details the challenges of making Baldur's Gate 3 go beyond level 12.
In addition, higher-level spells add another layer of difficulty in that the antagonists in the game must remain threatening despite the powerful arsenal that characters have at their disposal. An antagonist who can't hold their own against better skill sets is impossible to see as a problem because they'd be easy to defeat.
Another issue that arises with a higher level cap is the lack of a human dungeon master orchestrating the game as it unfolds. Baldur's Gate 3 gives plenty of options, but they're pre-programmed so that the paths are already created to fit players' possible choices. Aside from being longer, the choices players would have to make would grow, especially with spells like Wish, where its application has few limitations.
