Just wanna submit an extra vote on fully shared exp. as default because at the moment my friend and I are a good distance into a play-through and we have made sure to always have shared journal ticked, always be at the same conversations, always both talk to NPC's and even despite all our efforts, somehow we are 4000 exp. apart. We have no idea how, this gap is growing from 2000 at one point, to be 4000 now, and we have done all we can to make sure we got all the same exp., gains and rewards, and we are just totally confused.

The fact that we don't even know what we missed says to me it's not very obvious what are quests or when we gain xp or where we gained it from and I suggest if there is no full shared xp to be added you need to at least make it more obvious where the xp comes from so we can at least work out how to catch up the players that are being left behind for totally unknown or non-obvious reasons.

As it stands I have no idea where to get this extra xp from now and my character is behind him on leveling up, meaning some fights I'm weaker and unless we never miss xp again either one of us could end up behind in the future. By the way this has gone my character will be weaker by end game because he has missed out on crucial xp that he either can't get again or I don't know where the missing xp would come from. Please fix this major issue.
