I'm trying to figure out how many more options those who take Pet Pal get for quests and alternate methods to solving things than those who do not. If you know how much XP they give you, that's even better.
Because my "does not" character doesn't seem to have a lot of quests - especially since I flubbed TWO so far (failing to immediately intervene on Elohdi's behalf after entering, and failing to play the game with the kid in the Grotto), which leaves me with far fewer options for leveling up to level 3, never mind level 4. I COULD restart, but my actions were not at all unreasonable, and I shouldn't feel compelled to play the game one specific way each time.
I'm trying to figure out if Larian basically expects all parties to take Pet Pal in order to keep up with the XP curve.
