Noble713, it's true there are some really nice looking 3D rpgs out now (Neverwinter Nights, Elder Scrolls III) that are moddable, but consider that if you want to create a totally new creature for those games, you're going to have to know how to do some 3D modelling or know someone who can do it for you, and then figure out how to properly import it into the game. It's even more complex if you want create your own kinds of 3D land tiles for those games.
The old-school graphics of DO are an asset in this way. I'm sure I'll be able to make some wild creatures and different landscapes in DO that I know I'd never have the time or ability to make for the 3D games. Plus, DO can randomize certain parts of the mods. If DO mods come out that are creative and fun, the gameplay will be absorbing enough that the outdated graphics won't matter. That's what I'm betting on, at least.
