Hi,
Just want to say that I'm really enjoying the game, I think its a masterpiece. I've been playing RPGS a long time so .... yea, I know my stuff!
I have some suggestions to improve the pc version,.
1. Insert a DISABLE/ENABLE PARTY AI button on the in game UI, this is a classic from old IE games like Baldurs gate so you guys are familiar with it. Basically sometimes the AI is just too simplistic or annoying to be of any use in a battle that you are trying to implement a strategy in. I'd like the party to be able to kick ass with minimal effort from me sometimes ... and then when the going gets tough (or I get creative) I'd like to remove their AI completely and orchestrate their every move. Because lets face it.. I do a much better job than the simplistic behaviours section would allow, and nothing is more annoying than trying to setup a strategy and have your moronic mage run headlong into a suicide situation.
2. If possible, I would appreciate it if the camera could just clip through objects in tactical mode. I find it quite annoying when trying to move around the field and the Y axis will change so violently when it hits something in the air I cannot see (chandelier, archway .. etc.) I often lose track of where I'm looking because of this. I suppose its also the x axis, clearly this was built for a controller to navigate the surroundings... but with a mouse and keyboard you just dont need it to be constricted in such a way.
3. Please add an option to disable the camera jumping to a character in tactical mode when you click on the portrait. A simple fix would be to make it necessary to double click to center on said character. It's very frustrating to have to move the camera constantly when you are setting up strategies.
4. Make WASD keys act like the arrow keys in tactical mode, I only need the functionality of the arrow keys, wasd keys are odd and act strange, navigating with them is frustrating. Having to swap to the arrow keys when in tactical mode is disjointing, and immersion breaking.
5. Introduce select all or some party members, hopefully by a button (for all) and by click and drag (for however many you want). It would be great to tell certain ones to hold position or attack and leave certain party members out of that command.
That's it. I hope someone from bioware sees this, it would only enhance your already masterful game. Thanks for all the hard work! I hope you don't take all the whining in this thread to heart, some people are so entitled its insane.
