Disclaimer: This is my first time trying EA/Beta for an RPG, so apologies if this seems like a naive question.
After completing patch 9 twice, I find myself wondering how the experience/leveling will be scaled in the final release. For context, I was able to reach level 5 soon after reaching the underdark in my first playthrough and a bit before the underdark in my 2nd, so I was max level for at least most of the underdark and all of the forge. Since we know that max level won't be 20 (I assume will be 16 at the most), I wonder if the experience scaling is going to change much before release. With this only being a portion of Act 1 and there seems to be enough experience to get to level 7 or 8 (8 was even shown in trailers), if the other 2 acts are near the same size it seems like we would likely spend a large portion of the 3rd act at max level. Personally, I would like to feel like my characters were still mechanically progressing through the entire story. If we get 8 levels in Act 1 and max level is 15 or 16 we may reach it by the end of Act 2.
I'm not asking for more levels, but is it normal to expect significant changes in level scaling coming out of EA? Is it possible that Larian has scaled up the experience for EA to be able to test more character levels?
