First Person View Mod...
PoE II: Df should have a first person view Mod created and released after the game releases officially.

Do you have a USB Plant connected to your steam account?

You could, but there's one slight problem.

The "environments" in Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 are actually about as three-dimensional as a Kardashian. They're 2D pre-rendered images with some extra lighting and other graphical effects slapped on top. If you did make a first-person mod for the game, you'd have all the characters standing on a flat plane.

A first-person mod would have to rebuild all of the environments from scratch with just those images to work off of.

well, the 3rd person view is satisfaction enough then.

Strictly-speaking, the term for this specific form of in-game camera is "isometric".

If they made the game like they did with the old Infinity Engine games, they actually made most of the in-game environment in 3D first, and then flatten it all to a 2D plane. Not that it would make a first person view mode any more viable, just a random factoid.
