It's not just that. I always thought that leveling up from 3 to 4 was long. Thought that it might be a relic from the early access times when Lvl 4 was the max. So now I 'm doing a Shadowheart origin run, and I am at 79 points from lvl 4. In the blighted village only the ogres remain and the 5 goblins guarding on the roof. I'm certainly not going to attack the ogres at lvl 3. So I attacked and exterminated the 5 roof goblins and got exactly 0 xp for this.
