Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General XP and leveling up

Anyone play with only rogues rangers and other sneaky roles?

Not solo. All going sneak mode.

I have all of my party sneaking pretty much all the time. It is sadly too easy because of the idiot AI. That was when I started my solo play.

Do to get XP when sneaking past enemies and avoiding fights?

No.

Then what's the point.

You tell us.

XP in this is kinda like getting blood from a stone.. Luckily Modders seem to be fixing this.

The Pick Pocketing mechanics in this game are a dumpster fire. Hopefully Larian will fix it before release. I’ve attempted Sleight of Hand before with a DC of 10 and it gives me a fail even though I rolled a 20. Add this to the list of the many broken things of this game.

I hope they make the Lone Wolf mode this way, by giving more XP if you have less party members.

Gaining an extra level or two is infinitely more fun with new abilities than getting some numerical buff to HP or AC or whatever that breaks the rules.

I'd like to be able to play co-op with 2 characters this way.

No sense in going solo if you get the same XP which is very little especially for some of the battles like the wood woads at the gnarled tree for the druid quest. I've tried everything I could to take them out and when I try to attack with my sword I get the "invalid target" or I miss. But if I am lucky to hit I do No damage whatsoever. these things can't be immune to everything, can they? If so how the heck are we suppose to get to the tree? Also, the mephits or whatever them flying things are with them you kill one or two of them and they call forth more of them.

You are completely right. I dislike that the game essentially revolves around the player having to get into conflicts and quest hunting to level up. The game gives you options of how to play, but ultimately funnels you down a path of region level locking until you do xyz in a narrative.

There is balance to that tho, that I'll agree makes sense. But it would be nice to actually be rewarded with role playing who you want to be, and how you want to tackle missions. And if keeping your blades clean and the enemies fooled is the style you want to go. The game should reward you for it, rather than say, "cool moves...now go do what we scripted"

with a exp cap remover, I am about 50% done with the "act 1" and am already lvl 7 If I keep doing it the way O do it , accept quest, do quest, then kill the quest giver. I will reach lvl 9 by totally clearing the map of every living thing

patch 3 introduced exp gain on conversation. so you get that exp and then you kill them to get even more.

I was lvl 4 I had not leave the druid groove yet.
