No.

But I think you're using "3rd person" a bit differently to most. Gothic 2 has an "over the shoulder" perspective that is generally called 3rd person. Diablo and Nox are usually called isometric or even top-down.

The NWN expansion pack Shadows of Undrentide has just gone gold and should be available in a few weeks. The next major-release iso game I can think of is Lionheart due August 12.

but you can also switch to first person view. afaik it switches back to third person in fights, but maybe you can change this in the .ini (but i never tried playing first person )

FP in Gothic
   

I played a lot in FP this past weekend (except for fighting) and the first thing that hit me was that you really can’t see anything while walking in the woods. The local flora seems to grow to 4’ to 5’ in height. It does give you more control while walk’n through the mountains or on walls and roofs. I saw a post about an .ini edit that sets up FP for fighting. I am going to try it this week and see how it goes.

Yes, Gothic 2 is a ‘third person view’ game and you can zoom the 3P view in and out using the mouse wheel. It’s a great game I am just finding that playing the in FP is a lot more challenging.
