Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback XP and Non-Combat Resolutions

I'm sure this has been stated, but bringing it up anyway, just in case. Talking your way out of a combat or situation, should award xp. In pnp, the dm will usually award xp for "resolving the encounter". This can be through killing the enemy, or just getting them to go away, or your party leaving the area without aggravating the situation. Now, running away, from combat, no. But if you talk your way out of it, either through good rolls, or dialog choices, then you should receive the full xp for that encounter. Hell, when I dm, I specifically throw in encounters that the PC's can't win through combat, and I will still reward xp, if they are able to resolve the situation without fighting and clever thinking.
