I would like this for wolves too, and/or those wolves or companions no longer receiving exp. It was unclear I had reached maxed level until I noticed that the exp bar stopped going up.
Considering that this is meant to be a soft cap and will be lifted as chapters are released, I'm neutral on this suggestion, but it would be a nice QoL especially if chapter 2 is going to take a while to release. I recall that in FR, the activities there for digging are also set to “max” until the next update rolls in.
I love this suggestion. (Sorry for dredging it up from the forgotten abyss of the suggestion forum). But this would be a. a nice clean addition, and b. very helpful for new players who don't know. Once/if the level cap is raised, the max can simply be replaced by the numbers again until the next cap is reached.
