I just beat the game for the first time. It seems like it was a 'neutral' playthrough, in all senses. The character was Chaotic Good and the fights were never easy, but I had enough power to get through. I assume the ending was 'neutral'. I did not fight the final boss, I used the special blade.
Throughout the game, I did try to get the most experience in side quests, doing as many as I could find. I sold the evil book because I did not want the evil path. I did some grinding in under the clerk's ward to buy some special item, before Curst. It was very slow for my tastes. The experience and money you get that way are dwarfed by quests. Even with all that, it feels like I rushed through the game. Nobody managed to reach even level 8 spells, even though I recorded them. Is the only way to stock up on spells to do endless fighting, or to opt into violence in quests? The peaceful options seem to give most experience.
The game did not feel as long as I expected. I know I did miss some quests but still.
