Will there still be level scaling in the OC?

Topic. That was such a horrible choice in the original release, can't imagine it aged well. It's a huge part of the reason I think SoU and HotU were so much better embraced.

Okay, that and the OC was written by robots who hate storytelling. But still... scaling?

It's still there at present - but not all enemies and NPC's have aggressive scaling.

You can open up the campaign in the toolset and do what you want to it. I believe, for instance, that XP gain is severly cut down in the OC - to around 20%. Put it up to 100% and you earn experience closer to how you would in a PnP campaign. THis was a design choice, since the OC contained so much combat.

I remember being really let down by that back when. Given how much combat there is, it really sucks the fun out of it when you never feel like you're progressing because everything scales directly to you.

NWN2 and HotU pulled progression off much better.
