I'm really not in favor of using any technology without a good reason, Gandalf. I'm all in favor of "improved methods", but new technology isn't always an "improved method". Graphically, I'd prefer this game go in the style direction of watercolors and Asian "temple art", since it's what the game's graphics remind me of now, and because there's so much good that can be done there-check out 15-19th century Japanese watercolor depictions of Samurai, and artwork from Tibetan temples, some of the work is downright excellent and should remind you of Dom 3 (especially Yomi, naturally enough). Another direction to consider is the graphical look of the game "Lords of Magic: Special Edition". It's an older game, but it's probably the best looking game I've ever played, and a game well-worth the 10 bucks I paid for my copy about 5 years ago. It could really serve as inspiration for Dom. The mapping/terrain editor is exquisite, resembling nothing so much as a fine oil painting.
