Full Monster Experience

Full Monster Experience

At high levels, you only receive 2 experience points for killing lower level enemies.  This mod will give you the full expected experience points from your kills regardless of your level.  It otherwise does not change anything else in the leveling system, leaving the leveling curve and difficulty modifiers intact.

Installation

Like most mods, simply unzip into The Witcher 3\Mods.  Or use NMM to add.

This mod changes one file, npc.ws, located in The Witcher 3\content\content0\scripts\game\npc.

As of version 1. 21 (line numbers may change between patches), it edits line 2352 from

else { exp = 2; }

In context with the lines immediately above it, line 2352 sets your experience given for killing a npc (human or monster) to 2 points if your level is higher than the npc's level by "theGame.params. LEVEL_DIFF_HIGH".  I don't know where that variable can be found, so I can't tell you exactly how high that is.  My edit simply removes that change, so you get your previously expected amount of exp.

Then it also comments out lines 2355 through 2361:

if ( (FactsQuerySum("NewGamePlus") > 0 && thePlayer. GetLevel() >= (35 + theGame.params. GetNewGamePlusLevel()) ) || (FactsQuerySum("NewGamePlus") < 1 && thePlayer. GetLevel() >= 35) ) { if ( thePlayer. GetLevel() < 45 || lvlDiff < 0 ) exp = exp (1 + lvlDiff theGame.params. LEVEL_DIFF_XP_MOD); exp /= 2; if (exp < 2) exp = 2; }

/ if ( (FactsQuerySum("NewGamePlus") > 0 && thePlayer. GetLevel() >= (35 + theGame.params. GetNewGamePlusLevel()) ) || (FactsQuerySum("NewGamePlus") < 1 && thePlayer. GetLevel() >= 35) ) { if ( thePlayer. GetLevel() < 45 || lvlDiff < 0 ) exp = exp (1 + lvlDiff theGame.params. LEVEL_DIFF_XP_MOD); exp /= 2; if (exp < 2) exp = 2; } /

These lines execute if you are greater than or equal to level 35 (or greater than or equal to 35 levels above "theGame.params. GetNewGamePlusLevel()" in New Game Plus).  They serve to reduce your experience points given by some function of the level difference between you and the npc, then halving that again.  My edit removes that change, so your exp is not reduced above level 35.

That is all.  I may not keep this file up to date with later versions.  If you need to update this mod in the future, simply find npc.ws, search for "public function Calculat
