Huh, must have missed some quests or monsters, but only got to level 7 at the start of chapter 2 as a fighter.

Okay, I'm trying to figure out what I missed as I am a cat/fox by nature. I love to check every door, open every chest, and look in every room. I am a fighter and did all the henchmen/women quest, did all the class quests (except the Cloaktower since it is magic only), even did the little quests like Jacobs quill. Does going solo give you more experience? I have allways had Tomi with me, as he is invaluable at spoting traps and opening locks (well almost...had to level about 4 chests that he couldn't disable their traps on). I'm kinda diffrent in that I prefer to get to my higher levels quicker and enjoy the story more. It is a great story and the tales Tomi and Linu tell are worth every penny of it
Heck, I'm restarting a rogue/fighter just to take Linu around. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see how I could hit 8 by chapter 2 with my fighter.
