I would have preferred it if Div2 had an isometric view, like Titan Quest or the upcoming Diablo 3 (which not only lends itself better to the RPG game play, but actually looks better too in my opinion). I don`t know if they can keep the same RPG-ish quality of the first game, in a 1st or 3rd person ("over the shoulder") view.
To be honest, the only "3D" (non isometric) RPG I`ve played is Oblivion, which was a bittersweet experience. The whole idea wasn`t a bad one, but the NPCs felt like automatons, and the game lacked personality overall, and wasn`t very fun. Divine Divinity had a unique atmosphere, which was created by the characters, dialogue, music, environment, quests, ambient sounds, art style, ect. I hope they can preserve that while moving to 3D, and not turn into an Oblivion clone. Also, I hope they can make it as big as the original one, and again, not in the way Oblivion is big (I think at least 50% of that game is filled with rocks, trees, rats and dogs).
