DD: What reward incentives are there for tackling higher levelled creatures at lower levels?
DM: Basically since our monsters don't scale with you, if you go fight a monster that protects a chest (very RPG, but just an example). and you manage to kill the monster, you have access to the chest. At this point, in some cases, but not all, the chest will have some info from the designer that will say, for example, "there is a sword in there, it's called this and that, and it is epic". The stats from the sword will be scaled automatically to fit your current level but be super-powerful still. That's pretty cool because you are rewarded with a very powerful sword, instead of having something on you that is brilliant but that you cannot use until you've levelled up more.
In some cases that's still the case; we don't auto-generate everything, but in some cases we do and it's pretty cool because it guarantees an awesome piece of gear that you'll be able to use instantly. You don't want to feel like you should have waited to earn the item - the point here is to make you keep going so that you always get better and better instead of aiming for that one legendary sword (I keep saying sword but it's for armour too and other things).
