Funny the Temple of the Forgotten God got skunked!
Dragon's Eye is right at my favorite levels for game play. And the big fights against trolls and clerics; and then the creepy little girl demon are probably my favorite battles of the game.

I like Dragon's Eye too. Yxunomei is one of my favorite fights.
I really loved the Severed Hand. The place just had such an incredible feeling of history - it was like reliving this great tragedy when you walked around the halls and saw the ghosts. It could have fitted right into one of Erikson or Esslemont's Malazan novels. And the combat was fun and varied, with good loot.
His avatar was invisible on the computer I used to post that comment... he might in fact be no one! (I didn't see someone voted Dragon's Eye because of that avatar glitch)
Dragon's Eye is good fun, it's just that the first two floors are a little tedious. The fourth floor is of course the best. There are some mighty challenging fights on the fifth floor however. Yxunomei was even more challenging in IWD 1.0 unpatched. That took me forever. I kinda wish they hadn't made her a little easier to take down.
Hands down: Severed hand. I loved the backstory and the emotions accompanied to it. (People say IWD is just a dungeon crawler... well they don't read the story).
Dorn's Deep. A large dwarven stronghold with various wings and beautiful artwork, desecrated by drow and other monsters. I'm going to write it into my D&D game one day just so my players can reclaim it and rebuild it. It deserves that much.
Close runner up: The Severed Hand. The story between the two is one of my favorites of all games (not in small part because its exposition is slow and completely optional) and the Severed Hand is another beautiful location gone horribly wrong.
@Quartz First time I battled her my only +2 weapons were magical arrows (and no one in my party used bows). Dunno if it was common back then or if I missed +2 loot somewhere...

Yxonomei was very well done in all her guises.
