I guess I'm a bit late, but thought I'd share my thoughts anyway (Just got this game from a friend :-)
I killed the naughty golem twice. Once with Wilhelm going into torpor just before the golem died. Christof got the same amount of xp both times and Wilhelm got just as much as Christof when he made it, but none when going into torpor.
So it looks as if sending people into torpor only means those guys/girls don't get any xp at all and the others still get the same.
It might be different with "normal" opponents. I'll give that a try when I can, but don't get your hopes up too high.
Having someone lose all humanity makes you lose the game, so you can't get rid of someone that way, and I know of no other way to get rid of people, so I see no way of making Christof more experienced... except my suggestion below.
I guess you could use an editor to give yourself tons of xp and see what how much you need to get to "the next level", but I don't use such things myself, since it's cheating.
I have found a way of getting infinite(?) ammounts of xp, though, that may do the trick anyway. Rats! Tons of them! In the silver mines is 3 rat holes and everytime you enter the mine there's a chance that a rat will be created in these holes. Rats only give 10xp per kill, but it's still 10 xp.
My method here is to go to the shortcut leading from mines level 1 (which has 2 rat holes) to mines level 2 (which has 1 rat hole nearby, just over the bridge). Then go back to mines lvl 1, then to mines lvl 2, etc. Efter entering mines lvl 2 4 times, go left, kill the (usually 3) rats spawned. Repeat 10-20 times. Then, in mines level 1, go to the two rat holes there and kill off the 20-30 rats spawned in each hole. Repeat process until too hurt, where you will have to head back to town and get healed by your loved one.
Yes, this is time consuming, but doesn't inflict with my sense of fair play, since this doesn't seem like a bug. And since I have so little knowledge of vampires disciplines, I want to learn a lot of them, so I can try them out and see how they work.
Anyway, I've calculated an rate of about 2500xp per rl-hour. Right now I have just passed 20k xp. I made Paladin at 10k xp and that gave me some more hp to speed things up. Since next level didn't come at 20k I'm hoping to get it at 25k xp.
Wish me luck :-)
Oh, and if someone knows of another way to get more xp (more spawning mobs later on in the game?), please tell me before I spend another week of rat-killing.  |
