What is a photo mode? If you want to take screenshots of you standing on some creature's dead body, or you kissing Shadowheart, ... your OS can already do that (most likely). Pause the game, tab out, take the screenshot, show all your friends.

"Easy"

Tell us you have zero ideas how the engine works without telling us you have zero ideas how the engine works.

Have you ever tried to pause the game? There's a reason it doesn't pause even in turn-based mode. (Events outside the TB range continue to process regardless, causing encounters to happen or to expand when trying to pause using TB.) This is because a single player session in Divinity is a multiplayer session with just one player. It saves so much time on development and support like that.

A little too aggressive don't you think? I didn't even say this game sucks. I certainly don't know in detail how this graphics engine works, but games like Assassin's Creed, Cyberpunk and many others have this mode and consequently I don't see why it isn't included in other games like Elden Ring itself and this one (provided they are played offline or in single player). Let's be less Know-it-all , it can be done and now that Baldur's Gate 3 is more than consolidated, perhaps they can use the time they saved by not inserting this feature (and the mirror for example) for a future patch.

Look at Baldur's Gate 3 Camera Tools[opm.fransbouma.com]. It's an external injector but can somewhat replace photo mode. Paywalled but i can't stop you from searching certain kemono site and putting Otis_Inf in search box.

Nat Cam Tweaks + WASD mods, both free from Nexus. And your problem is solved. ;) https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/945

And yes, we are also actively working on bringing Crossplay and a Photo Mode to Baldur’s Gate 3, but the work required to bring these to you means that these additions will likely be further down the road.

Also game has no anticheat or something like that, but you disable receiving achievements when you use mods. There's however a mod to re-enable the achievements again.

thank you

There is no anticheat in BG3. Nexusmods is free, you can optionally donate to individual modders, but it is not compulsory. Installing mods with it is as easy as downloading it and dragging and dropping the mod file into a window. It will do all of the installation for you as long as you are logged in using a (free) nexus account.

Native camera tweaks is the only mod you really need to be able to zoom in and reposition the camera... WASD controls can help you position your characters a bit easier, but isn't necessary.

The F12 and F10 buttons hide the interface and snap screenshots, which you can do right now without mods. The mods just gives you better camera controls. There are also dozens of reshade mods to change the color balance (of the game, not just the picture) if that is something you want to explore.
