Cool. Was thinking this might be the case, just happened to exit the character screen after Lv 5. Wanted to cover all the bases, in case this was a bug.

Rolled a female human Paladin. When I got "in-game", saw a + on my character pic, hit "c", and distributed my skill points. Hit done, and saw the level up button was still lit. I leveled 5 times, before dumping out of the character screen. The "free leveling" stopped. I now have a Lv 5 Paladin, and all my party is Lv 5. Pretty sure this is unintentional.

Steam said download estimate 1 hr 45 min, only took about 50 min. Just finished character creation, now the fun begins.
