I think the reason that most people prefer DD's graphics to BD's graphics (and IMO they very similar, since they run off the same engine)....
DD has nice green forests... the type that everybody likes....
BD is all grey and beautiful in its own crystal way, but most people dont associate with crystals... they associate with lush forests....
If you compare DD's graphics, with the DD wastelands, most people will agree that the forests were "better"... just because we tend to associate green forests with good fortune and happy times (or good in general).
I agree that 3D is overrated, because some uninformed pencil pusher of a pubhisher, recons that they cant advertise in BIG BOLD LETTERS what good 2d engine a game has... They will rather advertise that you need to be a millionaire with the best ever computer, just so that you are able to get past the installation of the game.... at least then they can put the big bold letters on the box <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
But i must in the same breath say that i am impressed with gamebryo.... and i think that Larian will be able to produce a stunning game with it...
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> What i have seen of gamebryo didnt look first person to me... so i think we are safe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
