Do you get XP for succesful rolls, on a slightly related note? I avoided the initial fight at the ruins with the raiders and thought, that is 100xp per character gone, could have gone a long way. I think every action you take should grant XP. On combat XP or in general, I think it is fine for the EA, as there is a cap that you will reach rather soon, so it does not matter and is likely to be adjusted. Personally I do not see the need for giving XP from mobs at all, but from interaction and solving quests in certain ways.
Giving xp equal to the xp that kills would give seems fair. Maybr then set the xp thst kills give after that to 0 so people sont double dip.
How are people reaching this xp cap so quikly though? I investigate pretty much everything I meet and think I only got the gobbo camp left to investigate but im stuck somewhere between lvl 3 and lvl 4.
Lvl.2 and 3 came insanely fast and then it was like hitting a brick wall.
