I find it lovely to "play" with the XP and "XP Dept" ... so I can work out and have "control" over the moment my hero will Level Up smile
So if I wish to not level up too fast, I search for new NPC's to Mindrading them for more XP Dept.

Since each trader restock after a Level Up and since I love trading, I do the calculation, playing with XP's and totally don't bother about the high XP dept via Mindreading ... the lower my hero's level, the more XP for killing enemies smile ... so I don't invest in the Mindreading skill (so far at level 27 just 1 point (1/5) ).

On 7th of february 2015 : I start a new adventure in the Divinity world of Original Sin,
it's a Fantastic Freaking Fabulous Funny ... it's my All Time Favorite One !
