Diablo+Daggerfall=Ideal game

Can anyone recomend a game that is a combination of diablo and daggerfall?


I like the graphics and combat style of Diablo but hack and slash gets boring
and gaming on line is not a priority to me.  Daggerfall complexity, and
roleplaying story line are awesome BUT the 1st person perspective makes me
get sick to my stomach.  I also dont like the fact that to be successful in 
Daggerfall, you need quick reflexes.  I guess I prefer the old style turn
based combat but the older games lack the graphics like Diablo has.  

So, perhaps some of you have a suggestion for a CRPG that has the type of 
complexity found in Daggerfall but the look-down viewpoint of Diablo.  Or, 
perhaps someone has heard of a game that is in the planning stages that is 
what I am looking for.  

Thanks for any suggestions.

Corey

Have you ever tried the Ultima series?

They have the isometric 3rd person persective, like Diablo, but the role
playing diversity of Daggerfall.  I've played most D&D style games and
find I like 1st person perspective, but some one bought me on the the
later(Ultima 7 I think) version of Ultima and it matched your needs pretty
good.

you can find copies out in the stores for a cheap price, Ultima 8 is due
out soon...

Good Luck,
Al

Corey,

Actually, I know of a game, currently in development, that's 3D but still
plays like both of those games.
