If you are looking for a classic RPG you've likely never heard of before, I could recommend Dragon Wars. This is a rather nice game, and it's often overlooked, mainly because most people have never heard of it.
While it's often referred to as a successor to the Bard's Tale series (and apparently would have been Bard's Tale 4 if it weren't for EA refusing to let them use the name), it is actually quite different, with less of a focus on dungeon crawling and more of a focus on exploration and (relatively easy) adventure game style puzzles, some of which involve using your characters' stats or skills. (Example: Melting ice with a fire spell.)
