I used to do level squatting in classic BG when I want to get late game NPC like Alora, Coran, Skie, or Yeslick. The game tends to mess their HP/skill/weapon proficiency when I get them in higher level.

In EE, the NPC's starting level are not determined by your party average level, but they get bonus XP based on your (or party?) XP. The bonus XP is capped at 32000 so I can level up them quickly. The level squatting is still useful if I want to get some NPC with dual-class option like Shar-Teel. But she's easy to find, available in chapter 1 and can dual at level 6 or 7 before changing into Thief class.
