Game developer Bethesda on Friday has confirmed via Twitter that the "Fallout 4" video game doesn't end once the main story is finished. The company has assured players that they can continue to advance in the game as well. The announcement indicated that there is no level cap in the game and that players will be able to enjoy the title because of its infinite quests, a report from iDigitalTimes said.
"To our fans who've asked: 'Fallout 4' doesn't end when the main story is over and there is no level cap. You can keep playing and levelling," reads a Twitter post from Bethesda Game Studio on Friday. The post is reportedly a response to a deluge of comments from players regarding the video game's level cap.
It can be recalled that "Fallout 3" and "Fallout: New Vegas" have specific level caps. In fact, "Fallout 3" had a resolute ending after a DLC was released, which later altered it.
A deluge of comments posted on the "Fallout 4" thread in the Reddit website show mixed reactions of avid players of the video game about Bethesda's recent announcement.
"It doesn't really surprise me that you can keep playing after the main story... what DOES surprise me is that there is no level cap," Reddit user WhereismyElefant said.
"I'm surprised they gave up this information so suddenly. Still, I'm happy with this news. You're still forced to specialise early in the game, but long after you've finished the main quest, it'll be possible to keep leveling and become insanely powerful - like a lot of people enjoy doing. Hopefully there's enough side content to facilitate this kind of leveling system... Heck, it's a 'Fallout' game. Of course there will be," Reddit user named Skinnygold wrote.
Another Reddit user, TheHeroicOnion, said: "'Fallout 4' will probably take the ''do everything with no consequence'' approach 'Skyrim' took, sadly. One good thing about no level cap is it keeps me motivated. In 'Fallout 3' and 'New Vegas,' once I hit the max level, I don't have as much motivation to explore or do quests, because I'm no longer gaining anything. Hopefully levelling up becomes really hard and long the higher you go, like in 'Dark Souls.'"
iDigitalTimes noted that "Fallout 4" has massive content waiting to be explored by gamers. Recently, Jeff Gardiner, a lead producer of the "Fallout 4," game has reportedly spent more than 400 hours playing the video game and claimed that there's more to be discovered.
