Morrowind is on sale right now.

Mount and Blade Warband is also on sale right now.

That's $10 that would keep you having fun for a long time.

Mount and Blade: Warband & Elder Scrolls: Morrowind would keep you having fun for a long time. And that's for only $10. But I think they might go off sale at noon today.

For $10 you can get Mount and Blade: Warband and Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, which will keep you having fun for a long time. For $10 those two games, which are named Mount and Blade: Warband and Elder Scrolls: Morrowind. Both together will keep you having fun for a long time.

(I'm only kidding :P)

Until the end of the sale, Rock of Ages is less than $2.50 and Dungeons of Dredmor is a dollar and change. If you have something leftover in your steam wallet at the end of the sale, I'd recommend them both very highly and for completely different reasons.

Bioshock 1+2 on sale for $10 for a few more hours. Not swords and sorcery fantasy, but still arguably a fantasy-action game. And great.

I feel like there's a fair chance Bastion or Fallout: New Vegas will hit a daily or flash sale, and they are both fantastic.

I personally picked up Arkham City and Mass Effect 1+2 on daily sales, but there might be a flash sale later and they're both pretty highly regarded games. Haven't played enough of Mass Effect to recommend it personally, but Arkham City is great fun.
Only played Mass Effect 1, and I'd recommend it JUST for the replayability. Completed it almost 7 times :3

Deus Ex (all of them) is $11.24 right now. If you've never played Deus Ex 1 it's only $2.49 and you really should play it.

I'd say Human Revolution is not worth it, the bosses ruin the entire concept of the game.

Psychonauts is on sale for ~2.50 for another hour as of this post. Good if you have a gamepad for your computer and enjoy platformer thingies.
Chivalry is on sale for ~12.00 if you enjoy multiplayer-only melee-oriented combat games. Its combat mechanics are different from Warband but is surprisingly good despite that. Warband is still good if you enjoy playing lots of mods or singleplayer too.
Castle Crashers is ~5.00 if you like Golden Axe style brawler thingies.

Talking about the stealth. Bosses are 100% action pretty much, not fun. To have ANY chance against bosses, you gotta go lethal, pretty much no way to complete the game nonlethal :/

Star Ruler is 80% off (so it's $4) until January 5. It's worth getting even if you've already got SOTS.

Terraria appears to be 75% off again as well for the next 43 hours if you still don't have that.

I believe DX:HR is worth playing, especially for only $5. The bosses don't make it not worth playing IMHO (though they can be frustrating initially, but if at first you don't succeed, go back to either better tactics, or more dakka). If you end up not liking it, you're only out $5.

Spoiler contains tactics, and I mention an item in a room with a boss, but no plot besides mentioning that there are bosses:

It doesn't knock them out, just stuns them, unfortunately, but the game doesn't count killing the bosses against you for a non-lethal playthrough.

I know, even using nonlethal has them die ::)

Invisible War was even worse, too. Beat an armored paladin 'unconscious' with a baton? He explodes in your face, taking away most of your health. So much for non-lethal.
