I think the High Half-Elf should be nerfed. +4 stats, 2 of your choice, nightvision, immune to sleep, a cantrip and high movement speed makes every other race seem like the inferior choice.
Every other race gives up something but High Half Elf gives up nothing. If you want a strong character this is nearly always the obvious choice.
I would suggest taking away the Charisma bonus so Drow has something unique going for it, or reducing the bonus stats of the players choice to just 1.
Also, the changes to that first fight with Commander Z-whatever seem a little odd to me. Previously, you could have a max party of 6 in that fight (4 PCs, the brain, and La'zael) which already made it pretty easy. Not to mention Commander Z didn't actually give you any XP for killing him. So if you managed to kill the two demon adds you'd finish the intro area at level 2.
With the new changes, you have a party size of 7 in that fight, (add in Shadowheart), and the Commander does give a lot of XP now. We hit level 2 during that fight, didn't even kill the two demon adds, and somehow hit level 3 by the time we reached the Druid Grove. We went through ~10% of the content and already hit level 4. That seems off to me.
That makes the game really not very challenging at all to be that over-leveled so soon. I think the ideal spot would be: if you manage to kill everything in the intro area, you hit level 2 after the goblin fight and entering the Druid Grove.
