Well, you can take a look at what the finished result will look like
by checking out Ultima Underworld, preferably on a fast (33MHz)
machine.  (IMHO, the Ultima Underworld "look" would be more suited to
a Nethack3D variant.)

The thing I like about Nethack is its portability--the more graphic
frills you throw in, the less portable it will become.  And Nethack is
practically defined by that portability.

Taking Nethack and wrapping it up in a Wolf3D/Ultima Underworld-style
front-end to make Nethack3D would be neat.  But it wouldn't be
Nethack.
