Question about random encounters..

Sorry if this has been asked before but here goes -

I've been playing for awhile now and I've noticed that random encounters almost always consist of one monster. I thought it might have been a low level thing but it continues. It's not a deal breaker but encountering one Xvart/Kobold at a time seems kind of pointless. The scripted encounters seem normal.. although, the Gnoll Stronghold had a TON less Gnolls than it used to.

Is this a bug or just the way this version of BG works?

    @Tanthalas mentioned in another thread that some of the encounters are now scaled to match levels.

    The encounters do scale with your party level, but BGEE doesn't have the exact same behaviour that vBG1 did.

    One thing though, if you played a modded BG1 (using BGT at least) they have a lot more enemies spawning than the original game did.

    That would explain all of my survival issues. ;)

    It's a bit funny. I'm running around 2/3 (Fighter/Cleric) and fighting one Xvart at a time. The second I left CK at level 1 I fought a Dread Wolf. ;D
