I'll go the easy way again and give you another clue - you can be either a dwarf, or any of the three humans, and you get a glowing sword for the last battle in any case. The power of said sword will depend on your actions during the game, and a decision when you obtain it.

I can't help but think of Half-Life 2, but I'm probably wrong about that. Are console games allowed? Because I've got a good one.
On the wall is an engraving of a horned boy, a pale girl, and a shadow. The horned boy and the pale girl are holding hands. The shadow is striking a menacing pose.
I never actually played it, but I played its semi-spiritual successor, Shadow of the Colossus. Fun game, that.

That is obviously Dungeon Siege II. Man, that game took so long to finish... admittedly, this was mainly because the only character I had who could survive a few boss attacks (Lothar) had all his points thrown into defensive stuff, and once the rest of the party was dead against one (usually within half a minute) it was a race between the Lothar and the boss to see who could wear the other down to nothing first. And by race, I mean crawl. Still, he always won :D

Correct! :D
I hope I remembered correctly, that there were ants in the puppy cave...
Despite my name, I like troll healers most in that game because of their insane regeneration rates. But wizards and elementalists are my second favourite classes there. And even with them I try to use magic only in an emergency, like beeing surrounded by giant ants, or beeing surrounded by anything actually. I am no expert in ADOM though. My best was reaching the water temple.
Ah man, I just hope the dev of ADOM works on his game this year for a change...

The gliders one is Mechanoids, known in your West as A.I.M. More specifically, A.I.M. 2, because the first part probably was not released outside of Russia.
The one with the Sharatar heavy cruiser, a thousand fighters, and an orbital base is Remember Tomorrow. It has an english name, despite never being released in any english-speaking country. Even though it's been, quite ironically, mostly forgotten, it still stands out as a game posessing two features hardly ever repeated in any global space RTS.
[offtopic]
The game's first innovative feature, though not the most praised, was the nonlinear research akin to real-life research, where you could assign scientists to theoretical sciences like maths, physics, biology, and chemistry, and through them open up applied sciences like cold fusion, element particles, subspace, automatization, etc, that will, given enough scientist-hours, will lead to certain items becoming available. I think Space Empires 5 (or was it GalCiv2?) came pretty close to that.
The second feature, and the most unique of the game, was the ship designer. You would never expect an action-RTS (I didn't mention the global scale part of he game went in realtime?) to throw puzzles at you, but in the ship designer, you were thrown against one of those. The entire ship's profile is marked with a grid of small cells, with various large and narrow spaces, and areas specific for certain parts like engines and weapon mounts, that were still available for any fitting part. The puzzle in this case is trying to maximize the ship's effectiveness by balancing weapon power, speed, range, sensors, special abilities, shields, spacecraft hangar space, and some more, against total required power and the generators that are required for it, ship mass, and resources required, all crammed into the space limited by the ship. Some of the components you acquire through research posess exactly the same (sometimes even worse) parameters as those you already have by the time, but are aligned and shaped differently, allowing you to stick more of them into the ship, making you spend quite some time in the shipyards' design module, maximizing your ships' effectiveness. An example is the mark two fuel tank, that uses more energy while storing the same amount of fuel, but is a 4x6 rectangle instead of the normal 5x5, allowing to place it in the bow of the Vagalar corvette, for example, where no other components could be placed before. With 6 races to play with, and 4 capital, 5 fighter, and 2 satellite class hulls available for each, the battles in the game are won and lost in the design module.
However, no matter how I advertise it here, nobody will play it, alas, because it is only in Russian. If you were looking for a reason to learn Russian though... ;)
The only place I can think of where the game can be downloaded (legally, I must add, since it's 10+ years old by now and the developer is long gone) is here.

Actually it's that the sphere is made of ten different materials. But not simultaneously. It's not oldish. It is PC. It is platformer-ish.

Then it occured to me. Strange how that happens.
I've heard some of the hype for STALKER, but never tried it. I saw some screenshots after a time, and thought "Huh? This guy must be using really low settings", but I couldn't find any that had better ones, so I eventually lost interest and went to do download something else. I forget what.
If you read the site it puts this glorious image into your mind, and you think, zomgwtfepic, then you play it and it's nothing like it. Mods make it tolerable though, even re-implement blowouts.
The lighthouse is holding up the man, the woman, and the pale mutant thingies.
The woman is making a plaintive gesture. The man is brandishing a blunt object, the pale mutant thingies are striking a menacing pose. The shadow is rising in the ocean. The sillhouette of a guy is standing up and twitching. The game is being cancelled. Everyone is screaming.
Hint: It's set in the ruins of a town where there were a lot of fishy(lolpun) things going on.

The "fishy" reference makes me think of the Cthulhu mythos, but the only game I can think of with that would be "Call of Cthulhu", and that wasn't cancelled. Nor did it have a woman (so far as I know).
Also, it sounds reasonable that something based off of the Cthulhu mythos would get slashed. Too fresh and interesting.

That could refer to any of the breakout-type games...
On the wall is an exceptionally detailed rendition of elves, dwarves, humans, orcs, uruks, goblins, a balrog, a game, and a gamer.
The elves are fighting with the uruks. The dwarves are fighting with the goblins. The humans are fighting with the balrog. The orcs are fighting with the orcs. The balrog isn't moving fast enough. The game is disappointing the gamer.
