The game partly scales. All the fixed encounters (such as with Gulnan, etc.) will be pretty much the same. However, street encounters are another matter. You will find more - many more - enemies roaming around, and they will be tougher versions. Zombie warriors and ghoul lords in Beggar's Nest, for instance. Many more gang leaders with magic in Peninsula, both the streets and the prisons. Dire spiders instead of fire beetles under the Tanglebrook house. Keep in mind that I was also taking in a high-level character.
That's really why I did up the experience. Partly it was curiosity, but I really wanted to get up into the epic levels. In the OC's, that's only possible in HoTU, and even there, you don't advance very far.
So here's what you need to do:
1. In the /NWN/NWM directory, back up the files Chapter 1, 1E, 2, 2E, 3, and 4 (just in case something terrible happens!).
2. Copy those same files to /NWN/modules. Edit the files to change the extension from .nwm to .mod, and uncheck the "read only" box in properties. Save.
3. Bring up the toolset, and open each mod in it. On the top toolbar, choose Edit/Module Properties/Advanced. Change the slider to what you want. Save.
4. When all mods have been changed, rename them back to .nwm and copy them back to the /NWN/NWM directory.
5. Start a new game, preferably with an advanced character, in chapter 1.
Remember existing saves are not affected by this, so you can also play anything started before without problems.
