Default OT: a nice RPG-ish game?

Hello, thought I'd ask here, cant find the thread which dealt with this topic before, so I'll post anew and try to be specific:
Anybody have a nice tip for me regarding a good SP RPG kind of a game, can but does not have to be fantasy setting, can but does not have to be hack-n-slashy, can involve lots of strategy/tactics and group control, can but does not have to be newer than 3 years old? I am looking for a good present for someone, but dont know enough about where to look.
These ones I tried and liked very much, something along these lines:
- Baldur's gate series (good story, chars, sound, gameplay)
- Planescape: Torment (great story, great atmosphere)
- Fallout series (story, flexibility, gameplay too to a lesser degree, humor)
- Arcanum (idea, story, details, humor)
- Deus Ex original (a game made with love for detail)
- Thief II (gripping and well done, although not really an RPG)

These I found much less enticing, or downright bad:
- Icewind Dale (bored me, never got far)
- Morrowind (good idea which became stale fast; all NPCs just stood around waiting to be robbed)
- Neverwinter Nights (great tool for modders/MP, but a hastily shod-together dungeon crawl which was boring as hell SP)
- Pool of Radiance (ouch, the memory pains me)

Thanks much for your tips.
