Beyond Divinity will have a selection of hair styles and colours as well as face/body types (not sure about skin colour). Because NPCs are 3D, there is more variety in armour/weapon design, and the changes show up on your character (rather than all large shields looking the same when equipped, for example).
There is "zooming functionality" in BD, though AFAIK how this is implemented has not been described. Backgrounds are 2D, so I assume it will just be a straight zoom, with no rotation or tilt.
It is more likely they will be eliminating cheats found in the Divinity engine than adding some in.
