I'd have to agree with Umberlin, though sadly I have little to no experience with the art style. It felt like it was part of my subculture, but I didn't have anyone around to develop that interest enough. But I always liked it a bit, so I too voice my wish for something akin to Icewind Dale, and that dwarf ranger seems like they're going down that line.
Realistic but painted fantasy, I guess. Avoid WoW style, and in a sense Kingdoms of Amalur, please.
