It's a matter of personal preference but I prefer big epic games although I enjoyed games like dungeon seige.
It seems Larian are making two games; a big epic game (project D) and an isometric game (project E) and I think you are correct about the digital distribution. It will keep the costs down as the biggest cost is by far advertising / marketing and distribution. I wouldn't be surprised if these costs equal or be greater than the development costs. Project E would have to be relativley small and I'd put it on XBL, PSN (if lairan have a PS3 dev kit) and Steam. The epic game will be as a digital only download for PC via Steam, Larian Vault & any other major digital download service. As for the Xbox, that will have to be a DVD release for a game this size. As someone else suggested it might be worth asking CDProjekt what they did.
A free copy of the games to all major gaming mags is a good idea too. Also get interviews etc with the big gaming sites e.g. IGN etc.
