I consider try install it. The standard edition is clear that new addition shouldn't change too much the game balances.

But the New Content Edition (NC) adds A LOT of stuff, and there's zero comment related to balances.

I won't play without followers, at least party of 7 otherwise party of 8, it's too rare to be able to play with bigger party, and for me followers add a bit of mood.

But then isn't NC version would easily break all balances of a play?

I didn't search well enough the first time, the answer is here and without doubts:

So yeah NV break balances heavily and the best to do against that is use various weird trick from mod setup, party building, some more. But it's still broken.

That said I can imagine it impossible to manage for a mod, what did BG2 was huge the auto scaling was coherent, you haven't a mouse strong as a dragon.

That very old thread refers to an older version of the mod (7.0). Newer versions have largely addressed this problem by moving the majority of the new content after the endgame.

Lol ok, thanks for the information.

But there is still this final fight from post-endgame, where you fight againt 4 bosses with no prepartations.
Good luck doing that without removing level cap and pulling any dirty tricks available.
