I went to the Fallow Mire at level 7, encountered a level 12 creature, and promptly turned around. At level 12, I've returned.

Level 11 monsters in this area give me 0 xp. Level 12 monsters give me 10 xp.

Not only is this sort of massive XP penalty annoying but it kicks in when my PC is level 12, but the rest of my companions are all level 11.

You know, one of the things I was looking forward to in this game was having my completionist tendencies rewarded. I have done all the Hinterlands, Oasis, and Storm Coast that have have access to. I am 41 hours into this game, but haven't even unlocked Skyhold.

Instead of actually getting to enjoy being far more powerful than my foes, I'm simply not going to get XP until I'm again fighting creatures at above my level. Awesome.

I didnt pay attention, during my swamp fights, they were dropping faster than they could stand up. I did level up in that area from 11 to 12th.

 

My companions leveled when I took out the boss there. Which, turned out to be very weak to my mage build I was doing, so I kinda had it too easy there.

I think it is not a good thing to complete zones instead of playing through the story missions. You get additional companions, specialisations, items and the game really opens up as you get further past Skyhold. 

That's where some amazing story elements develop , you get more and better companion missions, your Focus powers can be developed...

 

I think you can come back after the main story and complete everything if you like.

I work through areas, then go to the story then go through areas.   Im exploring, and helping the inquisition grow, save the soldiers as it were in that bog area. Stop the bandits from killing scouts, and pick up a companion in a region.

I fought through a few more battles and tracked my XP.

For a level 12 creature, I got no xp. For a level 11, 23 xp. For another 11, 10 xp. For another 12, 43 xp. Then two 11s, neither of which granted XP.

It's possible that these are only the values for my Inquisitor and my companions are getting more.

Without some sort of combat log it's difficult. the game's underlying mechanics aren't well explained at the moment.

You only get 0xp for fighting creatures 3 levels or more below you. So.........

I switched to one of my level 11 followers, and he was getting more XP than my PC. I'm glad that is the case.

Are you suggesting that I'm level 14 and somehow don't know it?

Two posts above you, I gave a running tally of the level of XP I was getting per kill.

I don't think it's static. Some creature types stop giving XP if you're even a single level above them, where others (usually tougher ones) continue to give some XP when you're two or more levels ahead.

 

As you advance in the story, the spawn pools change, and you get the possibility of higher-level enemies (and intra-area random mobs also occasionally update).

 

But they said before release that they had a soft level cap (since you'll eventually out-level everything to the point where you no longer get XP from killing enemies, at least never enough to continue leveling up). I actually prefer it, since it means I can dick around without screwing up the main story progression too much (although it's apparently still possible to out-level all the main plot missions, which is unfortunate).

This game needs documentation.

Don't you just enjoy it when MMO mechanics find their way to classic RPGs? (please do note the sarcasm...)

I liked how my companions kept shouting "oh noz they're ENDLESS. RUN TO THE CASTLE!"
and I was like "meh, more xp's and lootz then :P"
