Installing the HOW/ToTL expansions changes most of the entire game enough that I recommend starting from the beginning and playing it over (which is what I did). You'll find the fights more challenging with the "call to arms". Monsters won't simply wait off-screen in the fog-of-war for you to sneak up on them. Instead everything off-screen in that area with come after your party. Some characters get new powers, and others become more limited. There are also new weapons and items available for purchase in Kuldahar to help you succeed. Definitely worth the replay.

However, if you don't want to replay the game, you can opt just to play the expansions. You'll start the game with your exported party in Lonelywood and Hjolder with tell you what you need to do.
