mystral: BG 1 is the same for everyone.
Hickory: That's bullshit, and you know it.
Ok, let me rephrase. Unmodded BG 1 is the same for everyone, and no mods that I know of so drastically change xp gain or the way levelling works that you can't reach the xp cap on a character who was part of a 6-member group.
And no mod that I know of changes the fact that it takes the same amount of xp to reach lvl 8 fighter or lvl 7/7 fighter/mage.
Hickory: Well, I can't do that, can I? Neither can I add or subtract any mods and tweaks. After all, BG1 is the same for everyone, right?
That's not what I meant. BG 1 is an exploration-based game, and if you only play the main quest you're basically cheating yourself out of most of the game. I'd wager most people do take their time exploring in BG, and they do reach the xp cap while doing so, considering even a fairly easy (provided you have protection from petrification) area like the basilisk one awards about 30k xp.
mystral: it's obvious you're wrong.
Hickory: Of course I am. That's because you're infallible.
Of course I'm not infallible. In this case you just have to look at the fucking manual to see I'm right, however.
It's also nice to see you've basically ignored every other poster who agreed with me.
You're completely ignoring the facts, and instead trying to argue simply by being aggressive and distorting what I say.
So fine, you win, you can't reach the xp cap when playing with 6 characters (despite the fact that I, and lots of others have done just that many times in vanilla BG 1) and multiclasses will end up several levels below pure classes no matter what the xp tables in the manual say. Happy now?
