Black Isle/Troika games are definitely worth a try, especially the Fallout series and Arcanum. A lot of combat alternatives and great writing there.
But both Icewind Dale and Lionheart are mostly focused on combat, so I'd stay away from those. Icewind Dale is still playable (not my cup of tea tho'). Lionhearts combat on the other hand is pretty damn irritating, a shame too - the setting looked interesting, some cool ideas, but the gameplay rendered it unplayable for me.
