Very cool! And yes, the aim is to have a graphic style similar to Diablo/Diablo 2, and the like. Although the gameplay would be more reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, with RPG elements more like a mix betweem King's Field and Diablo, and story telling style similar to King's Field.
The way I'm thinking of doing the graphics would be to basically make an area in Blender, set the camera to isometric, with the correct angle and distance from the ground, etc., and then basically render images in at the very least two layers.
