Awarding EXP and avoiding combat
Oh, I know that X-Com rewards the guy who gets the killing blows more, but I was making the comparison that if you were to make it truly milestone in nature with treasure also being a standardized criteria based on game passage there would be no reason to have true exploration with secret boss fights, because suddenly at the end of the level everyone has the same general treasure no matter how much extra they...

So, if I'm getting this right, you are both arguing for more of a 'milestone' like arrangement? So that no matter what you do, or how you go about it, the party is getting the same general XP or Money? That kind of thing generally spits in the face of exploration unless done REALLY well. Even then it would just piss some people off, and at that point you might as well make X-Com: Solasta...

Awarding EXP and avoiding combat
I get what you're saying, but it's a hard line to skirt. Classically speaking, the trend has always been 'no kill, no xp' with quests sometimes granting XP and others only treasure. The only time it has never made sense is if the enemy runs away. I've always thought you should get XP for an enemy that flees battle, but most rpgs just let them get away and give you jack for that happenstance. Besides,...

Summer Q&A - The Recap
What would not be ok, is something like "You have to reach the edge of the forest in exactly 20 minutes, here's a countdown for your convenience". This kind of limits usually just makes me rush ahead without even looking that there is something strange sticking from a charred stump, let alone going there to pick it up... only to reach the edge of the forest with 3 minutes spare and regret not collecting that...

Proficiency Kit of the Spy
From what I read of the Q/A it might be. From how I read it, there's going to be no personal interests going on for any of the created characters because they've made it clear that you're playing the party as a whole. Feels kind of underwhelming to be honest, and a lot more like the set-up for the next story/game, only set up in such a manner that nothing you do will change what...
