Hello,
I have a question about Arcanum, which I started playing a few days ago. The manual states:
How would experience from blows compare to experience per kill and experience from questing, proportionally (in total)? Is it significant or not? I'm not sure if I should just get a bunch of followers or keep a small party. I'm playing as a half-orc and I started with strength 20 at level 1, so I pretty much am the one that hacks everything up. So far I have Virgil, who is very useful for his healing abilities, and Margus. I recruited the latter very recently and so far I don't really feel that he makes the game any easier by being there. I would appreciate any feedback from people that have already completed this game before, as I'm quite n00bish at it. Thanks.

Followers do not deprive the player of Experience Points, with the exception of the experience per blow in Combat which the player does not receive. Anything killed by a Follower is treated as a kill by the player’s Character, for purposes of both Experience award and for any Alignment shift that it may cause. Additionally, when the Player Character goes up in Level, each and every Follower of that Character will also go up in Level. Followers will spend their Character Points according to an Auto-Leveling Scheme of their own devising.
