Well - firstly - Fallout is a cRPG where the fans are fighting hard for Isometric view and most fans feel it is important for the game - so BG is not special in that regards, and ....
With all due respect - how do you know they are going to change it and to what?

I wouldn't personally mind it if the camerar was free like in NwN:HotU (or NwN with the camerar HAK) - a sort of Birds eye view, where you can rotate and zoom in and out and tilt the view.
I would however personally seriously dislike first person view (that view dosen't have any place in cRPGs imo) and "over-the-shoulder" (ala SW:KotOR).
