Hard Cap

The hard cap would be the absolute maximum level you can achieve, but usually has diminished returns and is not worth pursuing. The soft cap is often referred to as the level you can get to easily, or throughout the natural progression of an rpg style game. You can usually beat the game by achieving the soft cap level. Elder Scroll games are probably a good example of this.

What level is the hard cap in Skyrim?

A person (usually named Todd) who often pulls Shenanigans, wins at Jack Box games, and throws bomb parties. He also has biceps that compare to Superman, Batman, and most fictional characters that have "man" at the end of their name.

Toddlybumbum made these great virgin hot toddies, but he tricked me and now I'm drunk. Classic Toddlybumbum!
