How do you check XP after capped?

    OK, so I was playing SoA and hit the cap. Then I finish it and I start playing ToB. I'm now part way though that and I'm starting to realize from walkthroughs that I'm not as high a level as they are.

    Of course there are many possible reasons for this, but I was wonding if there was any way I could go back to my old SoA game and find out how much XP I actually had by the end of the game if the XP cap had not been there?

    Can you include reasonably detailed instructions if you have an answer as I don't editing software and have minimal CLUA experience.

    Thanks!

    Like I said, I don't know much about the editors as I've never used them. So will Shadowkeeper allow me to go to an old saved game and figure out how much XP I actually had even though the game was capping my XP?

    I don't think that SK records the XP after you hit XP cap but you can still try. Just load the saved game from SoA and take a look (it must be something else than quicksave or autosave though).

    Yes SK still shows actual XP (3 milions and more). Only the newest version wont auto detect quicksave and autosave, but you can change that in options.

    Yep, SK worked. Thanks for the help. It was tough to figure out exactly what my XP should be at this point though. When I started ToB I used CLUA to increase everyone's XP (because I knew that I'd been screwed by the XP cap), so now, looking at my current XP I had to subtract the amount that I'd added. Only it was different for everyone since I didn't add XP, I just set it to a specific number. To make matters even worse, I couldn't remember what I'd set it too and had to guess. Oh well :)

    It's a lot closer to reality now than before.
