@Above Anon: Actually, you not only earned XP from killing enemies, but you also earned XP from passing speech checks, picking locks and from hacking terminals. So in a way, the skills in Fallout 3 and New Vegas (at least some of them) contributed to your leveling up. It would be very easy for Bethesda to increase the skill level cap from 100 to 150 or 200, which would allow them to increase the level cap.
