I'm new here, so excuse me if I chose the wrong location for my question.
I am really annoyed with the game camera. Currently there are 2 modes: over-the-shoulder (OTS) and top-down (strategy) and they are kind of blended into one mode, i.e. zooming out the OTS mode eventually switches to strategy. This leads to 2 ffrustrations:
1. When I'm exploring there are times when I want to view my party from afar and instead of getting maximum possible zoom out, I switch to strategy mode and have to catch the threshold of maximum OTS zoom-out.
2. When I'm fighting, I sometimes would like to zoom in closer on the action without losing the ability to pan the view and select distant chars to act on mob under camera without moving the camera to them. Currently this is impossible because the reaction to instinctive mouswheel scroll is switching to OTS mode and moving the camera to a currently selected char. Also, being able to tilt the view in strategy mode would be nice, since there are times when active monsters are on higher ground.
So, I'd really like these 2 view modes to be separated like it was eventually done in NWN2. Have a button to switch between them and be able to fully and effectively control the party in strategy mode, as well as explore without cursing in OTS mode.
Is it possible to do this by modding? Are there expansive UI settings in xml like there were in NWN2?
If not, then maybe it is possible that a person related to developers would read this and, if many people find the idea useful, implement it in further DA patches?
