Nox, the Westwood-made ARPG seems to be free on Origin. Was pretty decent iirc, but of course Diablo 2 came along shortly afterwards and got everyone hooked on that instead. One guy at our LAN parties liked Nox more though. He was weeiiiiiiiirrrd.
EDIT:
Some nuggets from GOG (many of them have been on sale before, so people probably have them already):
SMAC/SMACX - $2.39 - Most definitely NOT Civ in space. Mind worms.
Planescape: Torment - $3.99 - Deserving of its perfect user score. Seriously, it is. When modded. It is actually good enough to enjoy even if you're not that into old school RPG's, because the writing is un-buh-lievable.
Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura - $1.99 - Definitely not deserving of that score, but still solid. This is probably not good enough if you're not into old school RPG's.
Jade Empire - $2.99 - Seriously underrated game this.
Psychonauts - $1.99 - If you have never played it, do so. It is not mind-boggingly great, but it is quite entertaining and pleasant. The controls are not even terrible.https://www.gog.com/game/psychonauts
Heroes of Might and Magic 1-5 - $14.95 - They also have the Heroes Chronicles for $9.99, which is worth it if you are really, really into the M&M lore (up to Heroes 4 anyway), and Heroes 3 (which you are, right?). I was so into that lore I have two of the Chronicles in big boxes.
The Banner Saga - $4.99 - I really, really enjoyed this. Great world building and solid ambiance. It could have been better, it doesn't quite manage to get beyond that feeling of awe you get the first thirty minutes of game, but it is still good.
