The Lost Archaeologist

Here is the total XP you can get for escorting Wulfram back to Cyseal and reporting to Aureus:

335 - Accepting the escort quest
430 - Killing the first undead
260 - Killing the second undead
260 - Killing the third undead
430 - Wulfram reaches Cyseal safely
3000 - Telling Aureus that Wulfram made it back.
----
4715 - Total


At level 3, that one quest (which has only three easy-to-kill enemies, that one quest alone gives you 39.3% of the total XP needed to reach level 4.

Here is the total XP you can get for leaving Wulfram to fend for himself:

430 - Killing the undead standing over Wufram's corpse.


In a previous version, you used to get some XP for turning Wulfram's quest down, but that's been removed. Essentially, you get an order of magnitude more XP - more than 10 times as much. Only a grade-A moron would not do the escort quest.

That strongly discourages roleplaying a jerk. I'm not saying it has to change, and I do agree that getting a boatload of XP for NOT doing a quest would not make sense, but this is something to consider.


Also, that 3000 XP from Aureus is huge, way more than anything anyone else's quests give, at least 3 times more than the next highest thing I've found that early (finding a Star Stone). That seems a tad disproportionate.
