Personally, I enjoyed SOU much better than the HotU OC. It felt like they were trying to create something akin to the scope of Baldurs Gate here but didn't pull it off properly resulting in a mod a little too large (or too drawn out) for It's own good with less happening in between. SOU was concise, action-packed and really original.

Don't get me wrong, there were things about HotU I loved such as the great use of cutscenes as game movies, *some* character interactions (some just grew annoying over time, again another failed attempt to replicate BG NPC interactions), some great and interesting sub-plots and a nice, if different ending.
