Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General XP and killing NPCs

Hi,

I'm at the end of the game now (I think) from my first play through.

I thought I'd play again in lone wolf mode, and wondered how I could max the level I reach by the end of the game.

My question is, does killing NPCs earn you XP points?

I'm currently level 20 on my first play through and wondered if I could get higher than that by battling everyone?

Thanks.
