This mod is an NPC/Quest/Store mod. There are two NPCs who will join your party, Callisto and Ninafer.
Callisto is a Chaotic Evil Berserker elf who is looking for action because she is bored with Amn. She has quests that you can take that are not timer dependent.
Ninafer is a Lawful Neutral Fighter/Mage elf who is looking for action as well. She has spent most of her life sheltered in an elven city and she is looking to know more about the world outside her city.
The NPCs will banter with your character and the other joinable NPCs in the party as well as interact with others in the world.
There are a couple of minor quests to under take.
There are a couple of new stores with new items.
A new inn, the Dwarven Hammer can be found in the Slums.
Optional installs include smarter creature scripts and Harder enemies who have been beefed up.

Once V3 is done it will be a large quest, five NPC mega mod.
One of the newer NPCs is Alexia, an evil assassin who has her own quests, or contracts to undertake. These "hits" are evil and will kill your reputation.
Another new NPC is Shi'nayne Auvryndar, a drow war wizard who was raised by dwarves. Another is Taer Onyx who is a dwarven battlerager. They will join your party after you complete the main quest for the dwarven king.
The dwarven city has many people who will ask you to take on a quest for them. The city is vast and so is the places around it, which is where most of these quests will take you. In other words, a lot of places to explore.
What I code named Encounter X and Encounter Y are two major quests for you to undertake. Encounter X deals with people from your past who are hunting you down. These are people you thought were dead. Find out who is behind it. Encounter Y deals with lots of areas to explore and dead and undead to fight. I'll say nothing more about Encounter Y except at the end, you will fight two powerful end bosses.
Its a huge mod which is about 75% done.

And here "Y" is already finished:)
Now if you are referring to the stronger enemies, that changes their stats, equipment, EXP to make them more powerful. You probably could use that since it patches the creature files and not overwrite them.
I have a few mods loaded, in the order from the thread in this forum, (Not all of them though.) yours being out of order, as I have to identify your items. (Which I personally think is helpful, pointing out some of the new stuff.) I did not start a new game, however, but I will now, just to see.
Really looking forward to Version 3. Your work is sparking a lot of interest in a game that I had put down for a while.
It seems to trigger right after Nina talks to Minsc and Jahiera
IF
See(Player1)
Global("CmNinaJoined","LOCALS",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("CmNinaJoined","LOCALS",1)
Dialogue(Player1)
END
Its trying to start a dialog that doesn't exist. If you have Near Infinity you can find her CMNINAF.BCS file in the override folder, find that script command which is right at the top, delete those lines, Compile and then save.
I'll upload a quick fix version of the mod: 2.51
Another problem that has come up is that it seems her +3 sword Vigilance causes her to take 2 damage frequently.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Image below is a note to self. Change this item and any others EFF location.
1. Callisto wouldn't stop talking when I picked her up. All of her talks with everyone were coming one right after the other. Every second or so.
2. Not as game breaking, but when Ninafer has something to say, she keeps making her select sound. (I think you addressed this earlier in this thread.)
3. Upon Ninafer initiating a talk about supplies, the second our of three responses from the main char states "Male, gender,1" or something similar.
Very much looking forward to your continued work with this. The other NPC's seem very interesting.
BTW, I installed this mod last. I do have the banter accelerator tweak installed.
Must be EE game handle some checks differently. The gender thing is code to check to see if your character is male of female, its not suppose to show up in game.

Background:
When asked about her past SHI'NAYNE says that her mother, Sharillae, died when she was a young child after they were fleeing from a drow hunting party. Shi'nayne was raised by King Hreidmar Stonecrusher and his wife Brynhildr as if she was one of their own. They did this out of honor, Shi'nayne's mother saved their oldest son Magnus from a drow hunting party that was pursuing her and he happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Sharillae had jumped on top of the young dwarf and took a poison tipped drow bolt in the back which proved to be fatal to her. Shi'nayne grew up in a loving home but she did have hardships, being a drow elf growing up in a dwarven city, step daughter of the king or not. One of the king's human friends, a wizard named Tarlach Velnaar, saw potential for magic in the young drow and took her in as an apprentice. Shi'nayne has become a powerful war wizard and has defended her adopted home many times. Over time she has become curious about adventuring and leaving the Stonecrusher Delve, but does not out of the sake of duty to the Stonecrusher Clan. She may be convinced to join your group if you prove yourselves worthy and get the permission from the king.
Other notes:
Her mother fled from the city she was from once her true nature was discovered. She was one of the few that believed drow society was vile and disgusting. She had been influenced by the beliefs of Eilistraee. She took her young daughter with her and left to go to the surface and find followers of Eilistraee. Soon a drow hunting party caught up with her and they battled. A curious dwarf child heard the commotion and went to see what was going on. One of the drow warriors saw him and fired his crossbow at the child, Sharillae jumped on top of the child and saved him and took the poisonous bolt in the back. The dwarf king and his men arrived and saw this happen. They slayed the remaining drow party. Nothing could be done for Sharillae with the drow poison filling her veins. The dwarf king was dumbfounded that a drow would risk their life to save a dwarf so he declared that he would honor her memory and raise her child as one of his own.
Shi'nayne has a diary that belonged to her mother and knows the hardship and pain she endured when she was part of drow society. She hates evil drow with a passion and may let her temper get the better of her when she encounters them.
Her fondest memory that she can remember about her mother was her eyes. Her mother may have been physically and emotionally scarred but her violet eyes were always kind.
Shi'nayne being brought up by dwarves gave her morals, a sense of honor and loyalty, being fair and just, just basically being a good person out to do the right thing. She's not ignorant about her people. Her mother's diary gives her insight into drow as well as any books and tomes she has read, plus any first hand encounters with them.
She can speak Undercommon, common, elvish and dwarvish. She's smart but not wise, she is young after all and hasn't seen the "world" yet.
This happened after her first dialogue with Jaheira. I really wanted to try her out in the party but this is gamebreaking with her in it
While I'm in here, I think it would be really neat if you could separate the difficulty mod into two different parts you can select individually splitting up the smarter AI and harder opponents.
I'm just looking for baddies that act smarter, not a firkraag battle with 3 extra red dragons and a couple of liches
