I assume that you're playing straight BG1 (without ToSC), because with ToSC installed, you don't need a cap remover--by the time you hit the ToSC EXP cap of 161,000, you're so close to the end of the game anyway that you won't even care.

But, as you say, in straight BG1 you can hit the cap when you're only about 60% of the way through the game. Cap removers rule!

I, personally, didn't notice any negative side effects when I was using a cap remover. Others may post differing experiences, though. After installing the remover, all subsequent games will have no EXP cap: To put it back on, you'll have to delete & reinstall the game.

Note, however, that if you export your character into BG2, all experience gained beyond the EXP cap will be taken from you automatically. And, strangely, I could find *NO* cap remover that worked with ToSC installed.
