Patch 2: XP exploit?

[lee]

I'm having a great time so far playing in Tactician mode. I'm still in Act 1 even if all the hours I've spent in the game so far would have seen me finishing the game already LOL.

I just reload a lot to read all the dialog options. Anyway, I haven't seen this anywhere but apparently, one can double dip XP gained by first knocking every opponent out, then save, then load the game and force kill all the unconscious enemies. I did this with the Githyanki class, earning 75xp for each enemy KO'd and then another 75xp for killing them after save-load.

It allowed me to walk into the Inquisitor quarters at level 7, which is higher that its rank of 6.

I just wanted to let people know. I don't really care if someone reports this to Larian to have it fixed :)

Enjoy.

I was level 8 by just doing quests leading there. Sounds like a waste of time

Max lvl is 12, you can get to 12 before reaching baldur gate lower city.

I barely managed to get level 10 vs act 2 main boss . Possible without cheese. Felt quite op doing a flawless Victory on the boss. 0 damage takene by both bosses in tactician

I see. In my playthrough, I've cleared all the quests and the entire Underdark area up until the Forge. Cleared up the Goblin camp too and the Emerald Grove as well, basically hit all the areas you can go to without stepping into the Shadow Cursed lands. The Creche is the last area I tackled as the route would place me closer to the Drider in Act 2.

Doing all that, I was at level 6 before discovering this exploit. I just wiped out the Inquisitor squad a few minutes ago and being a level above them helped a lot.

Did you use less than 4 characters in your party? I thought XP was not divvied in this game but rather everyone got the same XP whether or not they were in the party?

Oh another weird thing that happens when doing this is there's separate loot for KO'd characters and loot for those that were killed, at least in this classroom group. Killing them spawned items even if I've already "emptied" them.

Ah I see, this is definitely not worth it then. DoS 1 and 2 suffered when the party got too powerful for the game and I don't want to experience the same in this one.

Thanks!
