I need some general knowledge about NEJ Options

[Ardanis]

I'm about to play a NEJ at last. I don't want to start game and find then a crowd of bugs and other vermins and I'm lazy to check 280 megabytes of NEJ by myself.
Can someone with knowledge enlighten me:
1) is there known incompatibilies with UB, D0questpack, D0Tweaks, Refinements (not with new NEJ kits and armors/weapons, maybe rules too, but something else), especially with two first ones;
2) is it necessary to install BGT (since I don't need it in the least);
3) does NEJ make undocumented (neither readme nor ingame descriptions) changes (I can understand bugfixes but not something else (I do know mods which do it)) of items/spells/kits;
4) how much XP will I get from NEJ in average - in other words, which value should I choose for DEFJAM xpmod in order to avoid overstepping of official ~18 millions XP for sixmembered party at the end of SoA?

Aye, what about compatibility? Can I install something at all without possible bugs or not? As I've said before I don't want to have bugs (I've got really tired of finding and fixing them), otherwise I'd not bother people with such questions. Consider me as complete newb for now:).

"do not talk... play"

This is exactly what I want to do:).

Part 1 is about 70% without expansions if you mean an amount of resources used. Otherwise, I really cannot compare IWD with NeJ2. IWD is very boring for me. Frankly speaking, I have started playing IWD several times and removed it from my HD even before reaching Kuldahar.

I haven't played IWD yet. Perhaps I should do it before playing NEJ?
