Hello.
I have a few questions:
1) Can you get more XP for killing much stronger opponent? Eg. on level 6 defeat the monster level 14.
2) Items in chests are random?
3) Someone might describe the character of the person with whom you can have a romance? I'm not sure whether to play a man or a woman.
4) Opening the chests is based on minigame? As vanilla?

1: Higher level mobs give more experience. I don't think your level matters though (someone else has to answer that^^).
3: AFAIK you can romance either, no matter if you're a man or woman.
4: Some chests are locked and you need lockpicks and some skill in lockpicking or one of the trees that specializes in that sort of thing.

3) Just to be sure. Playing as woman you can romancing with a woman?

As the devs put it: "[the romancable characters] are open for everything."
So, yes, your character's gender doesn't limit your options.
Regarding the lockpicking: it is the same minigame as in Skyrim, but in Enderal you can alternatively open locks with a scroll, too.

Thank you.
Since the same mini-game it probably does not make sense to give points to Lockpicking.
It's a shame I would prefer a system like in Morrowind.
