Just finished what I consider to be an optimal playthrough as a mage, and reached level 27.

Dring the final battle with Meredith the is a point close to the end where the XP bar shows a brighter 'unredeemed' section, the XP you have earned from the Gate Guardians and Slave Statues that is waiting for the action to cease to be awarded. Take a look at the XP bar before Meredith returns to receive her final pummelling after the raising the Gate Gaurdians for a second time.

However, after two hours of reloading my save from just before the battle and replaying the fight with Meredith, I can't collect the XP. I know it can be done, it happened to me on another playthrough which was nothing close to a completionist run. I have no idea how it happened, but I remember being awarding XP in the middle of the battle.

From what I can guess from looking at the bar, it's about 4000-5000 XP. I was quite close to level 28 post-completion, and waited until after the battle to use the +1 level potion for maximum XP increase.

Any ideas? I've tried a few searches on these boards and google, and can't find any mention of this.

I wish I could help you here. I was wondering if 28 was possible. My best effort was about halfway through 27 (using Elixir of Heroism at 26) and ended up halfway through 27 after the Final Straw, but I wasn't paying attention to XP gained in the final battle.

Do you have stun immunity and end the battle prematurely when Meredith is giving her speech? If so try to wait until she's done speaking and the battle resumes. That's the only thing I can think of.

Personally I'd love to know how you managed to get to 27.
I thought I did everything and I got to 24.

The history that you import into the game does a lot for opening up quests and getting extra XP. Having the Exiled Prince DLC. Doing all quests obviously. Making decisions that result in the largest XP gains. Killing all possible enemies. Disarming all traps and unlocking all chests. Acquiring Fallen Star, Belt of Promise, and Lion of Orlais as soon as possible. Donating to Lirene's (lol). etc.

Ah, I didn't get the +xp items and only got about half of the traps (I often spot them to late when controling a non-rogue since the detection range so small).
Didn't know that would make that large of a difference.

+xp items work even when equipped on companions outside of combat. So if you don't use Aveline, you should stick the Lion of Orlais on her for the whole game, or if you're a SnS warrior then at least until you replace it on yourself.

I didn't think there was XP. I entered the final battle with 24850 XP and thought, "well sucks to be level 24 instead of 25 and to be that close but at least I'll level up after."  Post-game save, I've still got the exact same 24850XP.

27.5 is the level cap (assuming you don't mod for higher levels) I personally have modded to 100 with enemies leveling with my PC and, with all quests, you can get 100 on the mod, but otherwise 27.5 is it.

This is what normally happens, but if you look at the XP bar towards the end of the battle, when all other enemies besides Meredith have fallen you can see a block of lighter XP that the game is waiting for a break in the action to award.
It definitely can be done, as I said it happened to me on another playthrough when I wasn't expecting it. Before Meredith returned to the fray I got an addition of XP then the fight resumed.
I finished my optimal playthrough at level 27 with over 20,000 XP towards level 28. Taking a rough guess by looking at the XP bar I reckon there is around 5000 XP to be gained.

How did you get pass the hardcap of 50?

With a mod that extends it to 100, but 99 to 100 is all but impossible w/o using the console to get the xp (over 300K needed) 50 is the coded hardcap, but that mod gets past that. it's over at nexus.
