XP Clarification

[valeran46]

So, I've read some posts on how XP is distributed, but, didn't find an exact answer for my real question; solo play.

So quest gives X number of XP. If you have companions, regardless of in party or at camp, is that XP divided among everyone, or just everyone gets that amount? And, what if you're playing solo? Is it just X amount of XP regardless and it doesn't matter if you are solo or have a full party... you are getting X amount and if you have companions they get X amount, basically making a solo run the same leveling speed as having a full party?

Xp is given to everyone that is or ever will be in your party. The only time you'll sometimes get different levels is when characters get Xp for inspiration

Xp is mostly given everyone (inside and outside of your party and camp). The only exception are inspirations which only give it only to the corresponding character

Yes, this is what I read in other posts. It doesn't answer the question, though.

Is there simply X amount of XP for completing Y quest, and if you are solo you get that same X amount regardless of party members or not, if companions are in camp or not. Or, do you get more XP for quests if you are solo, or, do you have to kill off companions and complete said quest for higher XP,

In early access, there was the option to make XP only apply to your party. So, if you were solo, you got all the XP and companions got nothing. There was no division of XP amount. This let you level faster reaching higher levels before traveling with companions. I can't find that option since full release, so, no clue how they changed XP distribution to just X set amount for everyone regardless making solo runs level the same as you would with a party.

OR... am I getting BG3 confused with another game that had that mechanic?

You're getting it confused, that was never in bg3. You can't speedup leveling by solo playing

Ok. Thanks for clarifying it for me. Thought I might have gotten it mixed up with another game but wasn't sure if there was a bonus for solo play or not.
