Effect on experience points of leaving someone, and then picking them up later

[Caramon Majeure]

Those are the same two that it happened with for me...so maybe there's an unknown bug about those two???

Originally posted by Grungi: actually i just remembered .... i left xzar and montaron and picked them up again just to check them out and they had both levelled up alot so were like level 6, for some reason xan didnt, now with xzar and montaron i left them at nashkel, xan i left in an inn in nashkel, xzar and montaron i left in another inn but everytime i return to nashkel they are both standing right outside the store there.

Sounds trippy, if you're remembering correctly. Are you sure / can you repeat it?

For I wish my name was Baggins: One time I was wrong recently was when I praised BG2's Journal for keeping a separate Journal for each Chapter of the plot, so that if you began a quest in one chapter, but you don't remember if you completed it or not, you can use the "Back 1 Chapter / Forward 1 Chapter" to see each chapter's Journal page. I said that this was a big improvement over BG1, which erased the Journal and started a new one each time you opened a new Chapter of the Main Plot. This is actually NOT the case: It was pointed out to me that you can do the exact same thing in BG1: Click on the little pen tips (they look like arrowheads) to change which Journal entries you want to look at.

yeah im 100 percent sure this is what i did:

went to the nashkel dropped xzar and montaron off in the north inn, then went to the mines, did the mines picked up xan, went back to nashkel dropped xan off in south inn, went up to north inn to find xan and montaron standing outside the shop where they still are in my game, went back lateron to pick up xan when i needed a mage and he was level 2 might even have been level 1 then went back to xzar and montaron just to check up on them and found they were level 5 or 6 so had levelled up despite me dropping em off. So it looks like both are happening or its just something to do with xzar and montaron? (because they wanted to stay in nashkel maybe?)
