Fallout 3 Level Cap to Rise

There's interesting news for Fallout 3 fans today which comes in from an interview with Bethesda's Lead Producer Jeff Gardiner over at Eurogamer. Gardiner reveals that the upcoming "Broken Steel" downloadable content pack for Fallout 3 will remove the current "ending" of the game and allow gamers to level their characters past level 20 all the way to a new cap of level 30.

"Along with removing the game's 'ending' with Broken Steel, we figure raising the level cap would allow them to [enjoy the game for longer]. We plan on raising it to level 30 - but it will be a long, hard climb to get there!"

There are three planned DLC packs for the game, with Broken Steel being the third, set for release in March of this year.
