In DAO/DA2 certain solid objects will block the camera and force it closer to the controlled character.  While this makes for a good trick getting closeup screenshots it also prevents you from getting a close look at said solid object. 

 

My suggestion:  Allow the camera to swing around these objects unhindered AND allow the camera to zoom in up close and personal to the character.

 

I can understand not wanting the player to see on the other side of walls or beyond the map boundary but solitary objects like statues, trees, carts, etc should be excepted.

This, so much this. It's irritating to be panning the camera, especially in DA2 where there is no tactical view ( ), and have it hit an object and zoom in randomly. I also dislike not being able to zoom in quite a bit at will to take cool screenshots.

The other trick is to position one character behind another and use the camera of the character in the back to get a closeup of the character in the front.  This wastes time.  And when doing this on the fly sometimes the camera smacks you in the face.  We need a better functioning zoom.

That's a great idea. The camera will be this slippery gooey goo that if put pressure by a wall or any other solid object, it would immediately push away to the free space. Totally removes the annoyance of having to manually adjusting it when stuck.

I'm reminded of how Dungeon Siege did it.  Stuff between the camera and the characters simply became transparent.

I remember the camera in DS2 & 3 were horrible; except someone created a little mod for DS2 that completely opened up the camera 360x180 degrees, with zoom going right from the face to the edge of the map.

DS 2&3 were pretty horrible overall. But the first one was a great game with some features worth copying.

DS2 had the voice of Taar.  That made up for a few things.

I will certainly agree that DS3 was an abomination, but DS2 wasn't so much bad as just mediocre. 

 

XCOM: Enemy Unknown does something similar as well with the disappearing terrain, depending on how high the camera is hovering.  I don't think that DA:I is going to need that kind of tactical control, but the ability to adjust the permeability and transparency of terrain and tall objects would be nice.

 

OP, I agree that the camera getting "bumped" around by terrain is a pain.  I think there should be a distance into the terrain or object that the camera can pass into before it gets forced out of position while out of the tactical view.  Also, a more screenshot-friendly camera would be a good option.  I think a simple "free camera" option would be the most ideal.
