Not sure if this is widely known, but just for the heck of it, I will mention it.
So I had a Bard in my party, and we meet Elisin, the sea-spirit. I thought to myself, let us roleplay a bit and send my Bard to talk to Elisin, since they are both singers. I was not expecting anything, as this was just for a lark, but lo and behold, there was a new dialogue option where you sing to her.
2400 Xp, for communicating in song to her.
Then as the conversation continued, my Bard insists that Elisin prove her words to be true, you can either ask her to teach your Bard her song, or to give your party a physical token. Since I am having a good party, I chose the song option.
2400 Xp, for getting Elisin to teach you her song.
Heh, heh... an easy 4,800 Xp in the beginning of the game.
On a sidenote... holy smoly! 2140 Xp for killing a beetle?!?! And the beetles... the beetles... haha... 12 damage... heh... beetles... goblins... hahahaha... HoF mode should be fine... heeheeheehee... Orcs... so many Orcs... Orcs everywhere.... hehheeheeheehee... ...
