ok first let me say that i love this game. what a long time to wait for it but well worth the wait. second, thanks for anyone willing to share thoughts I appreciate in advance your time.
Here is my problem, i crave XP. I want to constantly level my party so that i can handle the upcoming battles as they get harder and harder. But the game sort of feels like I am constantly being asked to "pick a side" in a battle. If I pick side A, I fight side B and vice versa. This means which one I choose affects how much XP i can farm. Due to this, I find myself choosing branches of the story that get me in fights with everyone. I did that to a fault at one point around moonrise I had nowhere to use a vendor until finally getting to the BG city proper. It also seems like I may be limiting my later storyline branches by killing too many things off earlier in the hunt for leveling.
Maybe I'm looking at it wrong and it shoudlnt be about XP and leveling and more about playing out the build/story, idk.
