There IS a level cap in the game, at least a soft one. After around level 22 the exp to reach next level becomes pretty much insurmountable, there probably aren't enough mobs in the game to reach level 23. Players who have been using the dev console to gain exp got stuck around 25 without being able to progress further. You are not intended to go much passed 20 in this game, not that the game would tell you that...

I'm looking forward to replaying this as different races and jobs. And on different difficulty.
I think that is my only gripe, that Easy is really Easy (in fact on the PC version they just patched us so it's even easier) and Normal is OMGWTFBBQKITTENS hard (for me at least). So I play on normal and switch to easy when I can't get past something for now.
Love the game though, can't wait for the dev kit to be re-released.

I was teasing by the way, I'm not nearly as meticulous so I never even noticed these things

Maybe it's because I'm a mage, and because I'm starting out, but Nightmare is fairly easy for me. The only issue I have is that everything aggroes instantly, so I don't have any time to set anything up, I just have to nuke things down right away.
Any advantages getting it on one platform over another? PC vs Xbox I mean.
pc has higher resolution and smoother graphics. pc version has a tactical option where you can pause the battles and move people around and stuff if you want which was all but eliminated in the console versions. because of that, the console versions are supposably considerably easier, but the battles flow better.
vgw had a dude play all three versions for review.

While I haven't played the console version, I can't forsee there being any gain.
The game is basically an MMORPG. You have a hot bar with more slots than one could reasonably assign to a controller. There are several keyboard shortcuts which come in handy, such as / to cahnge weapons sets (if you're a ranger who needs to go melee), or \ to quickly open up the ai menu.
alright sounds good. PC version is also 10 bucks cheaper so thats enough a reason to me.
Sounds like KOTOR + Mass Effect + FFXI.
In other words, epic f'in win.

Thank you. I no longer have the slightest interest in this game.

You and your consoles.
It says a lot about a game when I deliberately kill off my party members so they won't mess up my plans. I could massively micro... but it's just easier to solo/duo things.

By the way, I'm Wintaru on the http://social.bioware.com/ portal, if anyone wants to add me as a friend.

My loss may be your gain of pride. But my loss is also my gain
of money

Actually my character is fairly nice, on the outside.
I decided I'm not going to bother worrying about the alignment system. With how much of a pain and kill fun it was in mass effect I've decided to just say whatever seems the funniest or most interesting at the time and then hack the game to give me whatever piece of equipment or bonus I would get for following a dialogue guide to answer in the arbitrary manner the designers decided I should.

I get no gain from you not playing
However I understand being choosy with your cash, it's in short supply for most (myself included) lately. 
I need a new game to play. Despite the fact I still pay for my FFXI toon, i get bored anytime I log in considering my social & HNM shells have all died since my last sabbatical. Warhammer 40K DoW II, while solving the need of my RTS fix pre Starcraft II, bores me now. Maddens fine, but I lack the patience for more than one game in a row. And for the life of me, I just can't finish the last half of disc 4 of Lost Odyssey.
How many game hours will this one entertain me?

They claim on the box to have over 80 hours of game play, which from what I've seen so far seems to be fairly accurate.
