should borderlands have level scaling

one thing i am cercerned about in borderlands is the fact that everyone playing the game will be a different level. I am going to be forming parties to do quests and will probley always get someone who is a high level come in and whipe everything clean and take all the challenge away from the game. Do you think they will do anything about this, or we will just have to get lucky

Good God no, that mechanic almost single-handedly killed Oblivion.

I don't think Borderlands can really be compared to the type of rpg that Oblivion and Fallout 3 so level scaling might just be necessary.

A big fat No. I think it will be just fine, sorta like PSO if you ever played that game.

No, no no no! Absolutely not. It is just bad design. Like invisble walls and respawning enemies.

Ummm... how about.... DON'T ALLOW THOSE HIGH LVL PEOPLE IN YOUR GAME!?

Not needed, there will probably be level restrictions you can put in your room so you don't have to worry about it.

Not with the drop-in and out co-op. That would sucks.

It should be more traditional, the farther you go, the harder the enemies.

This, pretty much.

I think there's and idea around here that this will be more rpg than it actually will.

I used to hate level scaling untill i played FFVIII. But i dont see it working in a real time game.

I suspect that levelling is meant for evolving your character the way you want and strentgh vs mobs will mostly be determined by weapons and gear.

In that case I'm fine with level scaling.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Level scaling ruins games imo.

ok since everyone hates level scaling what should they do about people not being the same level, its not going to be fun when low level characters party with high level charactersEmperorZeruel

I hate level scaling, you never get the sense you're becoming powerful. I love it when I can go back to an enermy that owned me in the beginning and kick his backside. Its half the fun.
