Mod Recommendations [No ToB], Hack N' Slash Preferred Options

[kix]

Any recommendations for Hack N' Slash mods of SoA without ToB?

Banters are amusing. Romances and endless soap opera-ish emotionally troubled additions and quests - well, I find these just plain boring; or worse.

I'm an old AD&D Hack n' Slash player. Intricate dungeons, ingenuous traps and byzantine treacheries are a delectable spice to be added to the whetted blade.
[or mace if you prefer].

Any and all recommendations are most welcome.
To quote Conan [Conan the Destroyer] : Enough Talk!!

Also, I recently downloaded a total conversion called 'Battle of Helm's Deep' [apparently sometimes called 'Battle of the Deep']. Does anyone know anything about this mod? Playability, bugs [yuck!] or any other issues/warnings?

I keep coming back to these forums because, quite frankly, you folks seem the most responsive and the most knowledgeable. [no suck-up intended ]

Thankx
