Maybe people think of games like Anachronox when you say "3D RPG" because, well, Anachronox is 3D and also happens to be an RPG. Can't say they've gone wrong can ya?
On another note, while I'm supportive of a fan-based Dink project, I still am unsure of the Quake 2 engine... it could be heavily modified, sure - see Anachronox again for a good example of that - but using it as-is, I don't think it'd be a very good-looking game, especially if you were to look at the players from a top-down perspective. I'd just as soon play the good ol' original Dink with its 1997 2D love, and I'd much rather do single-player at that.
Don't let my opinion alone discourage you, though. If you really feel that it's worthwhile, pursue it and I'll be supportive. I'm just tossing in my two cents for the moment.
