Or you could emulate one of the earlier versions of the game (or even try to get the game on older hardware).
With that said, note a few things:
* It's a JRPG, whereas the first post didn't list any JRPGs.
* I honestly think its predecessor, FF5, is a better game.
* Many of the games listed in the OP have class systems. FF6 does not. FF5 does have a job system, which is an interesting variation on the character class system, so if you're going to recommend a FF game, FF5 might be a better choice.

The Temple of Elemental Evil
Since you listed non cRPGs, I'll list a few:
Gothic 1 and especially 2. By golly those are amazing.
Eye of the Beholder 2 (it's in some collection here on gog).
I could list some truly spectacular games if you were into jRPGs, but your OP doesn't seem like it, so I shan't.

Green_Hilltop: Try Morrowind+Oblivion+Skyrim, since you liked Daggerfall and other open-world games with stealth mechanics. The stealth mechanics are optional, just like in Daggerfall, btw. And they're actually more usable and better, if you want to sneak around!
Actually, in Daggerfall, the Stealth mechanic is *not* optional. Through normal play, the Stealth skill, which is passive, will increase, and there's no way to turn it off. (Incidentally, the Dodging skill also has a similar issue; it decreases the chance of your attacks hitting, and there's no way to prevent it from increasing. At least it no longer has this effect in Battlespire, but that doesn't help Daggerfall players.)

I'll +1 https://www.gog.com/game/prey As it is amazing and will be likely be greatly enjoyed if you enjoyed the Ultima Underworlds, Arx Fatalis and System Shock.
I'll also +1 https://www.gog.com/game/shadowrun_dragonfall_directors_cut and https://www.gog.com/game/shadowrun_hong_kong_extended_edition
Both are fun isometric strategy RPG's in the sci-fi/fantasy cyperpunk world of Shadowrun. All the Shadowrun games are self contained storylines and thus can be played in any order.
https://www.gog.com/game/legend_of_grimrock_2 is a very fun homage to the first person Dungeon RPG's of the old days. It's set on an island with some great eye catching scenery. And has puzzles ranging from easy to devious. You can create four party members of various classes.
Oh and I note that you mentioned Return to Krondor, have you played the original https://www.gog.com/game/betrayal_at_krondor
The first game is still an amazing experience with a fun script and battle engine. The word puzzle treasure chests are still something I enjoy each time I replay. The overworld engine does show it's age though.
