I was sad when ToME headed away from Tolkien--although ToME 4 is pretty incredible.

The Fury mod or THeme?

The dungeons had different enemies, different features, even different colors visually. In some you could cross walls; some had double tiles; some were underwater...

This is it for me, plus it just seemed to celebrate so many possible game mechanics. I didn't care that it wasn't balanced. That was actually a point in its favor for me. I could play a really challenging character or something really easy that would let me explore different quests or parts of the map without so much stress.
