Quote fromOK, i'll `hop on the artstyle bandwagon' once more.
Say whatever you want but, with the general graphical structure of D3, which utilizes especially very bright and colerful skills (including Barbarian (physical) skills), and the general big=strong=epic=GOOD and mature=gore=BLOOD philosophy (i admit that i am exaggerating; bias is inevitable; concentrate on my actual point please), it would be very hard to bring back that specific feel of D1.
I think it's important to mention that not all of the atmosphere of the first two Diablos was visual, not that you're saying it is, the music of D1 in Tristram was the bleakest sound I'd ever heard, and probably still is. I hope they'll keep the sound track simple and depressively dark and evil like that. No huge Lord of the Ringsish symphonies WoW style.

The biggest flaw in my opinion is the automatic allocation of stat points, I won't go into that as I'm already getting teary eyed at the mere thought.
Redemption can come in a couple of forms, maybe the skill runes, the new ways characters look from gear, and other things can give us a feel of player customization. Also the expansion should seriously consider uping the characters per game to as LEAST 8.
