Typical XP and out of curiousity, Lowest XP

Macadami

I'm a chronic restarter; always playing up to or in BG then changing a few things to do it all again. I've beaten the game a few times a few years ago, never been to Durlag's or any of the TotSC content really so as I approach the big flood I'm at a crossroads again.

I'd like to know what the average XP of start to finish, no farming, no exploits, just killing all non-respawning creatures and doing most quests. I'm also curious as the lowest XP; ie have some of you beat the game with level 3 npcs? I've found myself really liking the feel of a 4 man party so my Ranger lvl 3/Cleric lvl 7 is almost at it's full potential this 'early' in the game and before I do it all over again I'd like to do a little better planning. I can go by the level cap, but I do not remember gaining another 100k from this point in the game. Any advice or definitive knowledge will be much appreciated.

From what I remember, if you explore most of the areas and do most of the quests you should hit the xp cap by the end of the game, even with a full party. Most of my playthroughs have been with a few mods though, so I could be wrong.

161.000 is the XP cap. Without the cap however, assuming a full party of 6 and a visit to every area, you'd get from 210.000 to 230.000.

my main in a party of three finished at around 300k exp, with exp cap removed it pushed me exactly 1 level above planned by devs. Bare in mind that TOSC content yields plenty of XP, i would say definitely over 100k in a 3 man group. I was barely over xp cap when i paused before Thief Maze to do TOSC content and i hit +1 level on everyone in the middle of it i think.
