XP

Post by HighLordDave »

Do you get any additional XP for playing at the harder difficulty levels? Conversely, do you get less for playing at the easier settings?

In IWD, playing on "Insane" gets you twice as much XP as normal, and "Heart of Fury" mode garners something like 10x normal. Is that the same in BG2, or is it one flat rate XP regardless of difficulty?

If brute force doesn't work, you're not using enough.

The exp points you get are the same, but you have to fight more monsters sometimes, so you gain more exp points by killing them..... ;)

You get more monsters at harder settings. This means more experience because there are more deaths, and more goodies to gather and sell for cash.

@L, first you post identical questions under different topic titles, so you can get answers. And now (after having exhausted people who are tired of your refusal to use SEARCH, or to even read a manual) you're stealing, in effect, topics away from the people who created them, to post your own questions? This is a new low. Even for you.

You stupid idiot. You think you're all cool, with some gay name. You go around acting as if you're superior to everyone else just because your life revolves around baldurs gate and you know all about the game. Earth to fable! Get a life, for heaven's sake! You think you're the baldurs gate message board police or something! Oh no, i stole somebody's topic. Oh no, i didnt do a search. Oh no, im doing these all new lows. If you really want to be a help, why don't you lay off a little. Worry about yourself! If the topic starter has a problem with me asking a different question, then he'll tell me! And its really annoying when you post replys that just say i did something wrong in your opinion. Now whos on my side! Come on guys, VOTE FOR ME OR VOTE FOR FABLE! --and for your information i was asking a question about xp which was the topic name.
