I think he meant : According to this, you don't need it. I'm not even sure the upscale makes up for the over-leveling. (Unless all encounters and npc are well scaled)

Hi, I was looking for the exact same information for my next POTD game. I found this topic (March 2016) about max xp to be found in the game and this other one (February 2016, lot of info). I'll quote both for convenience : TL/DR : 25% seems fine assuming you want to enjoy your high level abilities for the last 20% of the game (doing pretty much everything along the way). There is no 30% option in the IE mod unfortunately. PS: In his playthrough, mychal26 didn't upscale the White March content, only act 3 and 4 (I don't remember if it was by choice or not). It may be a good thing, I don't know how good the upscale is (only "boss" encounters ? all of them ?) You should give POTD a try, I found the game really easy on hard and regretted my choice mid-game (although I played all IE games a lot). I think you can use the IE mod console commands ("SwitchPOTD") to change the difficulty to and/or from POTD without starting a new campaign. 30% with IE mod (not yet tested, may not work): Fire up the IE mod through its launcher - it patches the "assembly dll" - then select no xp change in IE mod settings, as well as every other thing you want. Copy that "assembly dll" and exit the game as well as the launcher. Replace the original assembly dll and use an hex editor to change the xp (see topic 2 - may not be up to date about all info (offsets etc), make a backup of the original assembly dll to be safe). Don't use the launcher afterwards it will probably revert your changes ; you don't need it anymore, that is until the next patch. I have no idea about what would happen if you were to toggle the IE mod xp reduction in game on top of the hex change.
