I would second Deeds of Paksenarrion, especially if you like Baldur’s Gate. It captures the feel of a D&D-like world and plot very well (pseudo-medival world, dwarves/elves/orcs/etc, cults of evil gods, shining (stuck-up) paladin orders, farm girl who leaves home for adventure, so on and so forth), but Moon adds a level of depth and ethical nuance that is usually missing from such adventure/quest focused fantasy.
Elizabeth Moon in general is one of my go-to authors when I want a standard sci-fi or fantasy story that I know will be excellently executed, include interesting elements that set it apart and will not make my roll my eyes or hold my nose like a lot of older genre stuff does. She wrote a lot in both sci-fi and fantasy and was very consistent.
