A digital distribution service owned by Valve Corporation. Originally created to distribute Valve's own games, Steam has since become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games.
Black Ops has all kinds of RPGs. If you want something more recent try Homefront or Crysis 2 (though they call them JAWs instead of RPGs... but it's the same basic thing).

Concerning the question, you've ruled out some of the best ones. I know the Gothic series is on Steam, that's supposed to be pretty good. The Witcher is excellent. If you want a JRPG, there's Last Remnant. I don't know how good that is however.
Yeah, GOG has the best classic cRPG selection. If you haven't already played the first two Fallout games, do so now. edit: Just remember to think of them as strategy games as well or the battles will not be fun.
As for Steam, you could get Divinity II games or the Gothic series (Just not Risen, that one is bad). If you are in the mood for some jank, then I suggest Two Worlds II but try the others before you venture into this mess.

Any good sci-fi RPGs out there? Sick of generic fantasy shit, I burned out on post-apocalypse with Fallout 3, and Mass Effect isn't really an RPG anymore. The only one I could find was one called Space Siege, but it looked a bit bad.

Yeah, I wish there were more non-generic fantasy RPGs :( Anyway, this seems to be all of the other sci-fi RPGs on Steam (I may be missing some):
On steam? I'm pretty sure Fallout 1 and 2 are on steam. There's also The Witcher, Drakensang: The Dark Eye, Gothic 1 and 2, and probably some other RPGs of varying quality developed in Northern/Eastern Europe.
Really, if you want some old CRPG goodness then you should just go to GOG. They got all the Infinity Engine games as well as some other RPGs of varying quality developed in Europe. Like Divine Divinity, which is actually kind of great.
