Hi.

I'm enjoying Fallout 4 much. But yesterday I've got the feeling that the xp for some pursuations and finished quests were like base xp values. Normally I got Xp like 27, 17, 279 and such wild stuff, but yesterday I got sometimes 200 or 20 or 25 XP.

I've followed the main quest and did the dialog with the newspaper girl and the major. The XP reward for pursuation seems ok. Then I visited her and answered her questions and got 200 XP! Normally I dont see zeros in the xp values.

I've played some more, killed raiders and build up my settlements and the XP seemed to be all right again but after I followed another quest (2. cabot quest) the reward for a dialog and finishing the quest was weird again.

Could it be that some dialogs and quest rewards don't include the intelligence bonus?

From my experience it depends a lot on the quest, and also at what "stage" in the game you are doing the quest.

late game quests which are past certain milestones seems to have higher XP

And then again you also get more XP the higher level you are, regardless of what the base XP was on the quest when you were level 1.

I find this to be pretty nice my self.

Yes. It could be. I also got quests which gave 600 - 700 XP and quests with 200 - 300 XP.

But my examples seem to be related to each other. The 200 XP would grow to 279 if you mulitply it with 1,1 (well rested) and 1,27 (for intelligence 9).

EDIT:

I reloaded a savegame before getting the 200 XP and set my intelligence value via console to 1.

I don't know how the base XP are calculated but I got less XP with intelligence 1 than with intelligence 9.

So it seems that it was only a strange coincidence that I got such a round XP value.
