D&D General Dwarven adventures recommendations

Did you ever find something that had it all?
I never did and ended up making up my own Deep Roads adventure based on the original Dragon Age video game, removing the endless battles that video games have, waiving the travel times with a montage, focusing on the creepy lore (some of the best in any RPG, hands down), increasing RP chances, and emphasizing cool/dynamic boss and trap encounters.

It wasn't a sandbox, but the party wasn't in a maze the size of France to sandbox explore. They had a specific mission in mind (so it was a "railroad" map but that's what they were wanting). And, they surprised me by insisting an NPC I had pushed to the background (a recruitable character in the original video game) come with them (the perpetually drunk and foul mouthed Oghren), which just made the entire trip a whole lot more interesting.

I've gotten out of the habit of just writing stuff, albeit I borrowed many direct lines from the game because they're so well written.

Hammers of the god
No. You do NOT want this one. This is one of James Raggi's Negadungeons - the dungeons that punish you for ever trying to explore them. He made something like 4 of such modules and aside Death, Frost, Doom! (and even that one is polarizing at best) they're just plain bad. Hammers of God in particular is basically a boring crypt where any attempt at exploration is punished with huge loredumps designed to bore the players.
