Each to their own: I personally wish the quests and critters gave parties a lot less experience, with a much slower rise in experience, as in BG1. It's the only thing I prefer about the older game. I feel like BG2 is more than a bit of an experience chaser, so that by the time you tack on ToB with its much higher cap, the game devolves into nothing more than "my firepower is greater than your firepower."

I think I forgot to mention before my dislike for the way pickpocketing is handled. The potions of master thievery make it absurdly simple, and if you don't use those, then which one of us truly swears they never reload if they're caught shoplifting? The penalties are simply too severe. I'd rather see a small fine that grows over time with each time you're caught, along with raised prices and a slighter drop in reputation. Just my POV.
