modules with 2 henchmen?

Now that the expansion pack has made 2 henchmen an official option, can
anyone provide input into the best modules that use henchmen? I'm
looking for modules that come close to BG2 & PS:T for henchmen -- a
variety to recruit throughout the game, and inter-party banter and
dynamics as the game progresses. Do any modules take advantage of the
dual-henchmen options from the Underdark expansion?

It depends on the module.. I thought that dual henchmen was just added via
the scripting. Not hard coded. It really existed since the very beginning
just needed to be scripted that way

No, until HotU the ability to only have one henchperson was hardcoded
into the game. There was a (very unstable) hack that allowed multiple
henchmen by giving your primary hench a hench, and that hench could have
a hench, etc. Never worked very well.

I imagine it will be some time before you see a really expansive
henchperson-based party system where the henchpersons have some
semblence of a real personality. That kind of thing requires extensive
dialogue (the scripting is not very difficult) and dialogue seems to be
the weakest part of almost every user-made module.

The Aielund Trilogy is the bet one I've tried - acts c1, 2 and 3 [though
3 not finished yet] 20 - 30+ hours - two henchmen. Very exciting.
