Experience is gained when:

--- PC kill NPC/creature/robot,
--- PC pick a lock,
--- PC hack into computer,
--- PC pass speech check using specific line in dialogue,
--- PC complete quest.

There is also specific sound when experience is gained ["cash register"-like sound] so it's rather hard not to notice.
Did you check your overall experience counter before and after killing?
 
thats the thing im not gaining any no cash register sound no increase in xp all because i have an npc,this wasn't the case when it was just me and dogmeat but now i dont earn anything on kill regardless of whether i start it or end it as long as i have an npc in the fight....kinda screwy
 
You need to do more damage than they did to gain the experience.

It's just like when you find someone with 10 hp and you kill them with ~15 damage... you don't get the exp. But if you crit and completely overkill them (doing more damage than whoever attacked them originally did), you get the experience.

This explains why I got 50 lousy experience points for killing a bethemoth.
 
Even if so, then it is still stupid because I got only 50 exp from a Behemoth and I gave him lots of rockets and grenades and 5mm ammo. ;)

It isn't worth to fight a Behemoth.

To me, that looked like a no brainer.

Considering that Bethsada put a max of 2 levels, and considering the ridiculous amount of side missions you can do. And that fact that you clearly don't need to be level 20 to finish the game (haven't in two playthrough) I can see why they didn't want to give too much exp. But then again, cockroaches give me only 2 xp. THAT isn't worth it.

50 XP is the max limit for enemy kills.

That means that at low levels, you get the same amount of XP for killing a deathclaw, Behemoth or Super Mutant Master: 50.
 
Dont know if im sure, but it seems wenn i have a critical 1 shot kill in the head with the sniper, and others not noticed me, i get more XP, even a Raider gave me 31XP points

I play Very Hard.
