You can have an isometric perspective AND cutting edge graphics. Just have a look at that Alien Swarm mod for UT2004 (I think it was called Alien Swarm. Isometric co-op shooter).
Isometric doesn't equal tilebased evironments with blurry characters, just so you know.
Staying true to values of the original game doesn't mean to abandon everything modern and go back in time to create an add-on-like sequel.
Besides, Baldur's Gate 2 (apart from the setting it isn't too different from Fallout) is still one of my favorite games and its a screaming shame that no more of this kind of games pops up.
Too much to read, too much left to the imagination (remember that instead of flashy cutscenes you got a textmessage above the object you just activated telling you what happened), too complex to play for the action oriented kiddie crowd. I would prefer an add-on-like sequel as you call it over any of those new hack'n'slash console games they release as "Baldur's Gate" nowadays. They might look nice and some people might even like the hack'n'slash approach (my brother loves my xbox version of BG), but please don't call the game Baldur's Gate then ffs!
I don't see why you would want to use the name of the original if the sequel is nothing like it?
Why not think of a new name and if the game is good on its own create a loyal fanbase for that game? I tell you why: Because they want the money of fans from the original and of people who heard that the original was great but never even played it.
If you defend this lame method of cashing in, you are either affiliated with the devs ( ), or you don't care for the original and its a name like any other for you. That's cool with me, but as someone who knows Fallout and likes it as it is I have to disagree.
