>Level scaling
Does anyone use it except Bethesda? Even fucking Borderland used the level cap for enemies on locations

I don't even understand the point of it, why even have levels if everything is scaled to yours? It's supposed to represent how powerful your character is relative to another.

If you need to put level scaling in the game to stop it being broken what you should be doing is removing levels and tie upgrades to game progress
Levelless RPGs are an extremely underexplored part of the genre

Fallout 3’s was good. Ironically no one mentions it because of the marketing campaign with New Vegas

It's for normalfags. They love having a samey, risk-free experience. It's why so many FO3 fags complained about getting murdered by cazadores and deathclaws in FNV.

Fo3 and Oblivion are pretty egregious examples of it

Nah. Level scaling is good but only of it's used in a smart way like scaling endgame enemies to your level for instance. Keeping the entire world level scaled from the start is bad and it forces a linear approach to the world like New Vegas or nu-Assassin's Creed games

it's the opposite of risk free because enemies are always powerful

Level scaling with a cap is still level scaling. Zero tolerance for that bullshit

What do you mean? I love seeing bum ass bandits in full ebony gear and walking out of any generic cave with 40k worth of armor and weapons

it doesn't downscale. so you can't over level or be powerful and be the boss. it is what i mean.
so you're stuck with easy enemies getting slightly stronger and hard enemies getting stronger than you.
not super fun i think

Should a game get harder or easier as you progress?

Games can also be ruined by not having it. Pokemon SV was fucking retarded because my first gym was like level 30 and then my last gym was level 10, why even go Open World if you're just gonna half-ass it like that.

Being able to kill anything is the reward for creating a powerful character, if you have an issue with this you fundamentally don't understand RPGs.

i like the opposite approach to the problem where weaker enemies flee from you so you aren't wasting time traveling low-level zones

level-based stat growth actually, scaling is just an attempt to address this fundamental flaw
