I am worried that we will not gain the same amount of experience by avoiding combat or using unconventional or unorthodox methods to solve problems. The level cap is 12, so we should have plenty of time and opportunities to be at least level 10 before we reach Act 3 the actual city itself regardless of the road we took. That was a major issue for me in DOS2. I found that by killing people after solving their respective quests I could min max my way to higher levels faster than intended.
