Too much experience

[Grimm]

So I decide to get back into G5, and maybe finally beat it. I beat the first 4, but never actually got through the 5th. I start up a new game, blaze through "The Presence", and go meet Astoria. The thing is, I'm already level 17. I'm literally just passed the demo section. I thought it was odd. Looking back, I realized a lot of the stuff I killed gave me 40xp, even the worms and rats. So I decide to test it out. At level 17, I go gank some serviles and civilians in Minallah. 40xp, every one. They were all one hit kills.

 

As near as I can tell, my minimum experience gain is 40. On the one hand, I'd reach level 40 in no time. On the other, playing like this is just boring.

[Lilith]

That's odd. Did you make or install any script edits?

[Grimm]

No. It's a fresh install and the latest version. I'll do a bit of playtesting and see if I can repro the bug reliably.

Don't worry at all, after level 9(or 8 or 10) the game has a spike in experience point even for the weakest of enemies, it will come down as you get higher in level.

[Nim]

Being lvl 18 or so leaving the demo is absolutely normal, nothing odd. That's the way the exp system works, you get a ton of levels in the beginning and then it slows down. I also don't think that the 40xp per enemy is a bug, they simply have the same level and thus give the same exp.

[Randomizer]

Some one else mentioned a jump as you leave the Whitespire Mountains. Experience was adjusted so you would get it for weaker monsters than in earlier games. You can reach a higher level at the end than in any of the other ones.

[Grimm]

Ah, ok, never mind then. I remember leveling faster in G5, but I don't remember any experience hikes.
