Talking about a game like Diablo and Fallout is a lil' contradiction. One is pure hack and slash, the other almost pure P&P RPG. But, if you say you want to dip yourself into something more than H&S I would strongly recommend to check other of Black Isle titles like Icewind Dale saga or Baldur's Gate saga (which I recently added to my collection for merely 10 bucks), not mentioning one of my favourites - Planescape: Torment. Also, I haven't played those but heard positive reviews on Temple of Elemental Evil from Troika (using AD&D system) and Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader from Interplay (which utilizes SPECIAL system known from Fallout), although those two games are from around 2003. If you prefer turn based combat over real-time one, Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor would be a perfect choice (Forgotten Realms), or the game I found quite entertaining despite it simplicity - Ascension to the Throne.
