I don't think the first sentence is true. Yes, smaller parties level faster, but not that much.

I think it would be best to merge Companions into a section here. This way this article will cover Party basics, adding party members (companions and adventures) and party management i.e. Formations. --AnotherArk (talk) 00:47, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

XP gain[]

The current version of the article claims:

"Experience is given to the whole party, not specific characters. It means that a party with fewer members will gain experience faster than a party with more of them."

I don't think the first sentence is true. Yes, smaller parties level faster, but not that much. I remember reading that XP is given per character, but a small bonus is added in case of smaller parties. (But the bonus is less than the benefit which smaller parties would receive if XP was simply given to the whole party and divided among the party members.)

Does anyone know for sure how it works in the current version of the game?   --Ineth2 (talk) 05:30, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
