You can find free ability points throughout the world, which is more or less like getting a free level. Not all of the ways you increase your strength are even tied to levels. More levels with less sats wouldn't mean much, other than screwing with how gear progression works.
The main purpose of leveling is to unlock new equipment to use, new skill slots and mutagen slots, and more ability points. Everything else is derived from your equipment, skills, and mutagens. Basically the only stat that increases simply from leveling is HP. You haven't played the game, so I won't blame you for not knowing this, but stat progression here isn't like most RPGs. That kind of progression would be completely out of place in a game like The Witcher. Loot and levels are pretty much everything there. It's the reason I still go back to do grayed out quests, despite getting effectively zero exp and more or less worthless Diablo is a COMPLETELY different style of "RPG". And even if you don't get any of that the side quests often provide interesting bits of story, which is far more important. You'll often find diagrams and more importantly, bomb, potion, oil, and decoction recipes. If you don't get a piece of gear you can use you'll almost certainly get something to sell. You never feel forced to clear out everything just to continue with the story.īesides, that side stuff absolutely gets you stuff that makes it worth the trouble. On the other hand, this also means you only have to do as much side stuff as you want. You still end up kind of overleveled by the end of the game, but it's not as bad as it could be. I hate it when games don't know how to balance level progression with side quests and you end up being way overleveled if you do anything but the story. If you got abundant exp from sidestuff then you would very very quickly outlevel the story content and it wouldn't be fun anymore. I'm kinda glad they did it this way honestly.
