I'm leveling up too fast.

[Jesse Dylan]

I am one of those sickies who wants to do everything in a game. So I've been trying to prioritize quests that are lower level than I am in order to not let them get too far below me. But even doing this, I am getting way over-leveled.

Is there a better way to do things? If I prioritize quests that are my level or above, won't I then be even more over-leveled? I'm still in Velen and feel I have not done much with the main quest (I also prioritize non-main quests), and I am already over-leveled.

Is your DL "Death March" with Enemy upscaling on?

No? Then you know what you have to do.

If it's the first time playing TW3 then you should know that the devs try to help you this way:

Thanks! Read that and replied on there. If what they say is true, I am a bit confused. My main quests are still at level 6, but I am level 12 or 13. Not sure how that's possible with what they are indicating therein, since if the world was "waiting" for me, I shouldn't have been able to complete side quests at/around my level and get over-leveled for the concurrent main quests.

I'm on Blood and Broken Bones and did not like the upscaling. First time playing, as it took me this long to finish all the books and play both previous games (despite having them at their release).

That's okay. It's still one of my favorite games of all time, up there near the very top for me. Other than the over-leveling (well, and a few other things, like the awful horse controls and some issues with movement in general, and a few cheap combat deaths), I'm really enjoying it. Loved the story in W1 and W2 but found them kind of obnoxious to play and a little dated by 2019 (should have played them when they first came out).

To be fair, most games turn out like this for me with my OCD tendencies, over-leveled, but it seems a little exacerbated here!

since logically there shouldnt've been any leveling at all (big G's way past his prime) it's reasonable compromise to at least nerf xp gain in later game. prob would've been better to give non-xp reward for all side quests...

As some others have said, I much prefer to just use enemy scaling, and they've fixed some of the janky parts of it with the update. Death March gets easy too quickly, and enemy scaling ensures every fight can be more of a challenge, requiring you to use oils, etc. Can also go back to any side mission without it being easy.
