Is the spawn system really fixed?

I started a new game to try it, with a high level character, and I'm still running into single xvarts, gibberlings and such.

Could other players confirm?

    It is fixed but the spawn numbers are influenced much more by the party size than by your level.

    Shouldn't this be fixed?
    It makes playing solo rather dull, IMHO.

    I believe its the same behaviour as in BG1.

    I don't think the spawn system messes with the number of spawn points, just the number of enemies at each spawn point.

    I'm honestly not sure either. Maybe if your level is low enough some mobs spawn points might not have any mobs.

    This is why I am continuing to move ahead with my own script-driven spawn points which I can scale based on party size, party level, chapter, and difficulty setting. So far, it is working quite well.

    tilly said:

    I have memories of the gnoll fortress including 3 to 4 groups of half a dozen gnolls each.

    But when I went there yesterday, there were only 2 groups of 6. Then again, pre-patch there was only one group of 2 and one group of 3 or 4, so it has been improved with the patch. I was also 1 level lower in the second attempt.

    Also, I could be getting to the fortress much earlier than I did years ago (e.g. difference of 3-4 levels), which might explain the difference in gnoll numbers I remember.

    Also the Chieftan was alone. I remember him having at least 4-6 gnolls with him.

    The number of spawn points are the same and for each point, there's 15% of chance for nothing appear (old setting from vanilla BG1).

    It is repaired. I''ve gone to Gnoll Fortress, and now there are LOTS of them.
