I've started a new game, and am sticking pretty hard to the "only skill user receives experience" tactic/exploit.
I intentionally left the Thieflings behind and buffed Trickery on my main in order to capitalize on the massive 5000+ experience you get for disarming that big trap in the Grey Garrison basement.
Only here I am, and the experience is being shared with my party no matter what I do?
I've tried toggling the settings, moving the rest of my party away, restarting the game. I'm still getting XP only to a single character on other skill checks, but just this one everyone is getting 960.
Google's AI is telling my there is some hard-coded engine limitation forcing that experience to be shared, but I suspect as usual it doesn't know what it's talking about. It can't give me any information or sources of where it got that from. Plenty of people saying how they disabled the trap and got 5600 experience for it though.
I'm just wondering if a recent patch changed its behaviour? I'm playing the game of the year edition on steam.
