Personally, I wouldn't recommend going to White March at lv7 unless you like steam rolling content... I just reached Dyrwood at lv8 and when expansion was released I entered the White March all excited. Sure, WM zones were fun and challenging, with good items and good pacing. Devil of Caroc is an awesome companion with great voice acting. HOWEVER, by the time I was done with TWM I was around lv11, and when I went back to Dyrwood on the vanilla campaign everything became so faceroll. Before you ask, this is on PotD difficulty. As someone who plays for challenging encounters, I just lost all interest and will to continue playing. Now I'm contemplating if I want to restart and leave TWM content for lv12 where I can scale everything up after I am done with vanilla campaign. But my dilemma is that I also badly want Devil of Caroc in my party as soon as possible, and there is no way of doing that without "locking" TWM zones to lv7 the moment I enter it If anyone has any solution to this, please kindly advise.

So I'm playing PotD, currently at lv8 and already I can feel the game starting become easier. Last night I entered White March, and midway through Russetwoods it dawned on me that by the time I'm done with the Durgan content, won't I overlevel the vanilla content by a good 3-4 levels? The challenge factor is a very big deal for me, as far as I know people have commented that even in vanilla the game gets too easy past lv9ish, won't adding additional content/xp at lv7 exacerbate this problem? Seems like Obsidian didn't think this through. Perhaps I should've left all the white march content for the end where I can scale it up to max level, this way I can do vanilla content at even level. Thoughts?
