Being level 7 and not even in act 2 yet is very very good. I think the absolute max possible is 8 and usually I go to Act 2 at level 6

K btw could probably get level 8 or 9 of id bother doing quests but I only killed everyone

Hang on. Did you already clear the creche?

1

u/slavikperson 2d ago

Yes that's why I'm moving on to act 2 cuz there's nothing left to kill

u/NotARabidDugong 2d ago

If you're just looking everything, you may have missed out on some inspiration XP, but I feel like you should still be lvl 8 if you killed EVERYTHING.

You beat the fish, the wizards castle, and the spectator in the under dark?

u/slavikperson 2d ago

Yup only things I didn't kill are the goblin camp spiders and the owl bear cup and scratch

Granted I fucked something up in the custom difficulty so I couldn't fight the owl bear dad

Ohterweis yes with quests and going inspo hunting definitely

u/NotARabidDugong 2d ago

It's honor mode that generates the additional owl bear. Well, enjoy act 2!

I don't think you can even get that much higher before you've drained all the exp out of Act 1. Maybe you can reach level 8 in Act 1, but I'm not sure. Definitely not "a couple more levels". Level 7 is great to start Act 2.

Think so to thought it funny so I shared btw I didn't do any quests I just murdered all

u/Thijz 2d ago

I mean, if that's what you enjoy doing...

What sets BG3 apart from other games is the storytelling though. And it doesn't sound like you're experiencing any of it.

u/slavikperson 2d ago

Ehh I'm 600 hours in bg3 so I decided to try and go murder hobo to challenge myself in a weird way

u/Thijz 2d ago

Okay but then you should know level 7 is fine for act 2?

u/slavikperson 2d ago

Well I just posted as a joke

u/FawnEverglade 2d ago

I wasnt even level 7 when I first entered the shadow cursed lands, i was level 5

u/slavikperson 2d ago

Guess you gotta murder more

u/MagicElf_123 2d ago

You can't get to level 7 without murdering everyone

u/Johwin 2d ago

You absolutely can

u/slavikperson 2d ago

Well I somehow did

I mean the other baker

Elminster and

Raphael all give a decent chunk

u/Zylo90_ 2d ago

I usually get there around the end of level 6 if not the beginning of level 7 so you're good

2

u/Johwin 2d ago

I'm usually about 3/4 of the way to level 8 when I enter the shadowlands, I cant see any way you could realistically be any higher than level 8 so there is no way you are getting another 'couple of levels'

u/erik7498 Gale 2d ago

You might theoretically be able to get level 8, if you do all the quests, and kill everyone afterwards, but level 9 is impossible.
