I actually liked the original Divine Divinity. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't just a mindless Diablo-clone. It had more varied abilities and much more open world. A new game like that would great. On the other hand Ultima VII doesn't really hold up well. It may have been fairly ground breaking at the time, but an RPG with as deep a story is given today. I really hope Lairam Studios is setting their sights higher.
