Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Reward for beating Mordus should be a higher level

So here's the thing,Mordus is level 12 and the reward from either the Dwarf guy or the Julian is level 9 gear,it's unlikely you'd actually beat Mordus at level 9 so the low level gears appears to be an oversight

I think they base it on when chronologically they expect you to do it. I noticed several like that - seemingly low grade equipment.
