Leveling is incredibly slow!

The game opens up at level 5, that's when you get 2 attacks per round and a bunch of other things. Up until level 5, combat is rather slow and boring.

However, getting to that level 5 takes forever.

Level 1 to 3 is ok. Level 3 to 4 is kinda long but also ok. Level 4 to 5 takes an eternity, and people just bow out. That's one of the reasons why only 20% of players made it out of act 1.

Luckily, there is a mod that doubles or quadruples the amount of XP the base game offers you. I tried that mod but 4x is too much, however 2x is actually very much fine and how it should have been in the first place, not too fast but not stupidly slow either.

There are just 12 of them you know.

I completely disagree, I think the leveling curve in this game is just fine... A mod increasing exp would ruin it IMO

People have the attention spans of squirrels. That's hardly the game's fault

If you're doubling exp gain, might aswell cheat in godmode too. It's gonna be about the same experience for 80% of the game.

It's not supposed to be any faster than it is.
Tbh it's kinda fast imo.

I've got a dnd game going where my players have been level 3 for an irl year.
Haven't heard a single complaint about it the entire time.

wow jea and i can just use godmode to doge combat man when did people get so impatient

It's how D&D works. Takes a while to level up but you get a lot of stuff when you do.

You should have tried Baldur's Gate. 100+ hours and the level cap is 6 or 7 can't even remember.

Game is about roleplaying, not chasing that carrot on a stick. This isn't Diablo. Leveling is a secondary aspect of the game.

The fact the game is capped at level 12 is actually great. It forces people to understand that games of this type don't have to focus on leveling alone.

Play the game however the hell you want, and don't listen to people whining about how YOU play YOUR game in single player mode.
