I am at that stage in DOS2 where as a new* player I am overwhelmed with the area and don't know where to go in what order.

*I started it three times when it was new, and it never clicked with me. Turns out that ignoring the overwhelming opinion that you should play as an origin character makes wonders. I am far more invested playing a custom character.

My new game is a roll under system where you roll 3d8.
Your skill are: Psyche, Gnosis, Ousis, Chaos, Order, & Mu.
& your quest is to retrieve a mythical relic from a corrupt gang of 3 idiots.

So going back to another thing I do not like about the Dragonlance modules, are all the clones of things from Lord of the Rings. Now, granted, D&D ripped off things from Lord of the Rings, but Dragonlance is what I feel is excessive.

Companions of the Lance = Fellowship of the Ring
Cataclysm = Fall of Númenor
Knights of Solamnia = Dúnedain
Dragon Orbs = Palantir

Note also, the plot of the Dragon Orbs is it draws you in (sometimes) and some elf king is driven helpless by evil through the Orb which is like how the Palantir worked via a connection to Sauron.

There is a scene where the players can summon ancient knight ghosts to help in a critical battle around a tower. Just like Aragorn.

The name of the different elves, Qualinesti, Silvanesti, Kagonesti compared to Tolkien's Calaquendi, Moriquendi (although I am sure some Dragonlance afficiando will point out the "i" ending is very ancient roman as prior art).

There is more. More than I can fit in a post.

And I am sure some will say that all fantasy owes a debt to Tolkien, is inspired by Tolkien, but for me, it is just on the side of "too much".
