I won't bother arguing with fanpoodles; I'm not interested in shouting at a very dense brick wall. Kthxbai~
On fan-made modules recommendation:
I've posted this before, but okay, here we go for the umpteenth time or so. IMO, all these modules are several light-years superior to the atrocity that is the first OC.
Elegia Eternum and its sequel, Excrucio Eternum, offers a unique storyline, with excellent writing -- something that I hope most people will be able to appreciate. The first one even has voiceacting to go along with it, alongside original soundtrack; the second has a less linear storyline, more roleplaying options, no voiceacting, but still has new soundtrack. With good use of custom content and scripting, this couple of modules easily ranks as my favourite. The first is something of an interactive novel, but is good for all that. The second is flat-out awe-inspiring. Both are not long, but they're concise, and pack a powerful punch.
Bone Kenning I: Art of the Thanaturge is an oldie-but-goodie. Uses a minimum of custom content, and doesn't require either expansion pack, this module has excellent roleplaying options for the neutral and the evil. The writing's great; the scripting is innovative, and you'll actually feel like playing a necromancer rather than a generic wizard.
The Book of Shaddowe is a rogue-specific module, and forces you to play Shaddowe, a pre-generated character. This, however, doesn't detract; it adds. When you hear "rogue-specific", it means rogue-specific. Rewards are given for stealth, lockpicking, disabling traps and generally employing rogue skills, whereas killing an enemy may net you less XP or none at all. The story isn't spectacular, but it is intriguing enough to keep me playing.
Necromancer: Allegiance likewise has you follow the path of a neophyte necromancer. It forces you to play a pre-generated character, but again, this is something of a bonus. Fun scripting that allows you to actually raise the dead to be your minion and lets you attempt to control hostile undead. Fairly good story, and some roleplaying opportunities.
