Yeah I realise, just a bit sad the rights holders weren't even willing to cut down to clean numbers — unless this is CDprojekt blue's call? Activision wouldn't surprise, GOG would.

lol, nobody's going to tell you a Beamdog product is worth playing on the RPG Codex. You can try reading about them here: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.p...ement-now-with-ossian-premium-modules.119226/
There are politicised reasons a lot of people hate beamdog at this point. I'd say if you want more to play then go for it, and actually write an honest review about.
Short comment - I remember playing Tyrants of the Moonsea when it was a free cancelled premium module on the Neverwinter Vault. It was incomplete, since the author decided to stop working on it when Bioware cancelled the premium module program, but I still thought it was decent enough at the time.
Darkness over Daggerford was alright as well, and had much the same history as TotM, even if it was finished. I didn't enjoy it immensely, but the module in itself was quite impressive.
So to sum up: They're okay if you like NWN, and can get over the Beamdog hate, but I'd suggest you give Swordflight a go instead, which is free, challenging and very well constructed. Lilura even fawned over it to an extreme degree, and I find myself agreeing completely about the praise.
The same people who bitch about "snowflakes," funny enough.
Evil Islands is 75% off.
I highly recommend this rather obscure Russian CRPG.

I am playing Pathfinder now and despite some quirks it's super incline. Hope you enjoy it.

the rest are either just demos for new games (of questionable quality), and old games that were good at the time but didn't age well

Both Worlds of Ultimas are enjoyable, if you can tolerate Ultima VI UI.

What do I play if I want a game similar to Ultima, but with modern-day UI/UX?

Beneath a Steel Sky is pretty good. Flight of the Amazon Queen is ok (very nice looking too IMO).
Lords of Midnight and Doomdark's Revenge are wargame/adventure hybrids and classics, they were extremely well regarded back in the 80s. I haven't played either in ages but I think octavius did a bit of a retrospective not long ago.
Eschalon is an ok isometric CRPG, not a classic but I had fun with it.
Shadow Warrior is a Build engine FPS, IMO not as good as Blood or Duke 3D but somewhere in the mid-range of quality.
Ultima IV is a classic and is an awesome game. Combat is way too simple (like most Ultimas) but it mostly relies on non-combat interactions anyway, and the design is extremely tight. Very rewarding exploration, very unique endgame. The Worlds of Ultima games are spinoffs of Ultima VI, same engine, smaller self-contained stories influenced by pulp literature. They're both quite entertaining, Martian Dreams is more of an adventure game at times but I like it, it's got a really fun atmosphere and story.
Tyrian is a classic scroller.
I've dabbled in some of the others but not as extensively as these.

Treasure Adventure Game is a great metroidvania/platformer. It's one of the most wholesome games out there. You'll fall in love with the world and its characters. It has a kickass soundtrack too.
