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 replayed the first part of the game so I could get some XP numbers and updated my other post with those values.
Since Elodhi was killed before you could intervene, you can still kill her murderers manually for 480 xp. You do miss the opportunity for a peaceful resolution (worth 300xp), and you lose the opportunity to also kill her yourself (240 xp). If you weren't planning on double/triple dipping you actually won't lose any XP here (small loss of 540xp if you were).
For the kid in the grotto, you are referring to the hide-and-seek game to reveal Withermore, correct?
The game itself isn't worth XP, and you can still manually dig for the entrance to collect the 720xp for discovery and get the quest from Withermore.
Basically, you shouldn't be too far behind if you do this!
