Sort of, though it probably isn't your fault. You played a good character, right? As an evil character, you won't automatically aggro everyone and there are some decent factional and quest chains within the temple. As a good character (in my experience), you mow your way to the bottom.
I have always thought ToEE was a poor choice of module / material, despite the concept sounding great on paper.
