I've played through AO recently, and, with my game developing hat on, can tell you that modern rendering engines can make backgrounds as nice, if not nicer than the vast majority of the backgrounds that can be seen in AO. Normal maps weren't even in use by 1997!
It's okay if you don't believe me.

as long as you don't optimise it past the point of looking good, repeating textures are one thing but you'll neen lots of nice unique pieces, the styles of AO are amazing.
that's not a criticism on you guys there I just mean I hope you give it that extra texture love
