You do it by either installing the patch that removes NOTR completely, or by installing the NOTR customization cheat program and adjust a number of values to your liking.
NOTR is not harder than first game, it's harder than Gothic 2. So much so that it isn't even funny. That is because NOTR is absolute, pure SHIT. I mean the new content - the new maps, quests and so such are actually really good, but the way they reballanced the game - changes made in response to old-school hardcore G2 fans who played the game a thousand times and learned how to break it across their knee easily - are absolutely abhorent. It's some of the fucking absolutely worst game design and ballancing I've ever seen. And it's basically unplayable unless you already know vanilla Gothic 2 by heart. Which is a bit of a problem because you can't buy vanilla Gothic 2 these days.
Search the steam forums for advice on how to patch NOTR out of the game - that is the best I can tell you.
Or find a guide and stick to it to a fucking point.
Or use the aformentioned cheat software.

The cheat program sounds like the way to go. Extra content is always good and I'd like not to lose it. The problem is that I have like 30 quests going on and can't complete most of them because everything except small fries murder me with two hits

Learn enemy attack patterns so you can parry/dodge/stunlock everything, get at least 30% skill in a melee category because only crits deal real damage.
Do not consume any stat-boosting items until you're above 90 in that stat.

Play Gothic 2 without NOTR if this is your first time. Then you can play with NOTR.

Absolute shitters. The game is still piss easy if you build your character well and know the strats for given enemies. Play the Returning mod and you'll see what is actually hard.

The problem with the cheat program is that it's very hard to find a ballance that would not break the game in the late game. Though you can adjust it at any time, so if you use it responsibly... it's a way to play the game.
But honestly, while the new content of NOTR is quite good, the way it is integrated into the game is absolutely attrocious too. So I'd still argue patching out NOTR all together, and then go back to it once you've played G2 vanilla enough, if you feel like giving it a second go and exploiting everything you learned in the first run.
Another option I did not mention is just copious amounts of trial and error.
People like this is why the trainwreck of NOTR happened in the first place. And see, their argument is "You just have to know everything about the game beforehand".
