A couple of years ago, I fell in love with the Exile-series from Spiderweb. Great immersive hack&slay-rpgs. Check out Avernum I - III, their spiritual children, but beware: They're huge. My third time playing through Avernum III, which I all but knew by heart then, took about 55 hours playing time approximately, and none of it boring.
I played the Exile games years ago when I had a Mac, but I never tried the Avernum "remakes". Maybe I'll give one of them a shot.

I'd suggest Planescape: Torment as probably the best computer-rpg available, but since everyone knows it (or should, at least...)... unbelievable that a company that proved that it could deliver tons of story, highly interesting characters and finally an interaction system that allows you more than the general "Yes, I would love to lick your boots"-, "Now you die scum!"- and "I'll do it, but pay me first"-answers then turned out some disappointing crap like Neverwinternights...
Independent? Black Isle has always been a wholly owned subsidiary of Interplay, to my knowledge. I loved the story of PS:T, perhaps more than any other RPG around...but I hated the combat and the lack of creation and development options for your main character.

Those are my independent favourites. I am also an avid Morrowindplayer, but that's beside the point.
I have a special love/hate relationship with Morrowind. Unlike PS:T, you have virtually limitless options at character creation, and that is a Good Thing (TM). I love its sprawling nature, its interesting storyline, and its nOnlinearity. However, melee combat in Morrowind is so bloody awful...and there are so many other little frustrations with that game. So I love it and want to throw my PC through the window, all at the same time.
