Epic Levels

[Nuchaleft]

I know we haven't hit the traditional limit of 20 levels yet, but wouldn't it be sweet to go... beyond? Epic levels let you do a whole lot more, but of course there'd have to be creatures to match Using NWN as an example, whose second expansion upped the level to 40 and had epic levels (lvl 21-40)

But I leave this idea with the powers that be...

Turbine have already said they will not consider Epic or Prestige classes at this time, but that they *might* consider them once the lev 20 cap is reached.

think it will be a MUST to consider, when lvl 20 is reached. What further reasons should you else have to play a char any longer? Perhaps some equiment, but than u will reach a point where there is no further increase. So what than?

So the only logical and possible way is to go further. But if you have ever played NWN 2 for example, you probably know what there will have to come till we get there - and so I can understand why they donnot think about that right now!

I would rather see specialization or "prestige classes"ish than epic lvls going down a more or less one way street with just adding lvls upon lvls without any real flavor.

Rather see someone turn to necromancy and feel the consequences like appearance turning more towards it and for ex. not taking to kindly to healing ect, adding also crafting special items and so on, preferably splitting it to different branches of necromancy and so on.
Same with other classes and directions.

Watching a lvl 20 full blown necromancer or paladin o what ever walking down the street feels more like DDO than just adding lvls
