Is there any way to increase the vision cone?
I've only just played maybe an hour of it and the small vision cone is really annoying me immensly.
Does anybody know a way to remove/increase it? Making characters practically ultra near-sighted seems like a very stupid idea to me, no matter how fantasy the setting is:

Have you quoted there's a zoom in/out? It's scrollwheel.

The best would be try use the max resolution you can and zoom out the max you feel it's ok.

What do you mean with "do you have quoted"?
I'm talking about how far your characters can actually see, not how high or low the camera is.

No, I don't believe there is any way to increase the vision range

I assume you mean the "explored fog of war" outside 2 feet of your chars. There's no satisfying way of removing it. You can open the console via ^. Type "iroll20s2 -> enter, then "nofog" -> enter.

However, this will disable achievements and also clears the unexplored fog of war. You also have to use the command every time you enter another area.

I really hope there will be an option to disable the layer in a later patch or some mod that does so. That dark layer of grey, blurry ugliness really interferes with the background art :/

Well, I bought the GoG version, so no achievements for me anyway. ;)

Yeah, it's ugly, annoying and unrealistic.

I might try that command for areas that I've already fully uncovered, but getting rid of even the unexplored fog of war is something I don't really want.

You are complaining on that but myself I complained for DOS because of a sight range a lot too long, it breaks a lot the discovery fun, but the base error of DOS on that is have make it linked to an attribute important for other stuff.

You complain that in PoE sight range of character is too short.

I complained that in Divinity Original Sin sight range of character is too long. This destroying the fun of discovery.

Hint: Never play DOS you are too weak to decipher things. :-P

This has nothing to do with exploration. It's about how the game looks. Everything outside your character's vision is pitch-black:

There is a cheat you can use if you are desperate. Some companies sell software for cheaters.

REST.

Your character is on major fatigue already. Fatigue DOES affect how far you can see.

Even if that is true, I just came out of the inn in the screenshot in the OP.
