Any dungeon crawlers you'd recommend for someone who generally doesn't like puzzles or "blobber" style combat?

I'd say I generally do not like CRPGs described as "dungeon crawlers". I tend not to like environmental puzzles that these tend to have and I tend to find "blobber" style combat quite boring. All I remember about Eye of the Beholder was that I hated the teleport puzzles and quit it shortly after encountering them.

I don't really like first person exploration either. Also, I generally prefer games that are more narrative driven (though that isn't an absolute necessity if the gameplay is really good).

All that being said, I haven't actually played that many dungeon crawlers so I'm wondering if perhaps I'm missing some games I might enjoy. For example, I'm curious about The Bard's Tale IV because I have enjoyed inXile's other CRPGs.

It very well might be the subgenre just isn't my cup of tea but I thought I'd ask. Since I haven't played most of them so I'm open to any suggestions. I strongly prefer turn-based combat, but would be open to trying real-time if the game is good.

TLDR: Any dungeon crawlers where the puzzles aren't too annoying and the combat is actually fun and tactical?
