It would not be delayed for 2 years just to add in rotation....

Not that I could care much for it. Divine Divinity didn't have this feature and it was fine. It's simply that this looks similar to NWN rather than to Baldur's Gate so I thought it would have a similar camera maybe too.


Imo the game looks more similar to Torchlight than to NWN, and the isometric view worked well in Torchlight. Also in NWN you didn't have a party, having to rotate (and tilt, and zoom) your camera to get an optimal view every time you select another party member is seriously tedious (NWN2 is a very good example of this) and it really doesn't add anything to a game that was designed with a fixed isometric view in mind (and I rather that not be changed).

The only game that I've seen that managed to combine both to a satisfactory degree was Dragon Age: Origins and I'm pretty sure some serious thought had to go into the level design to make it work well, adding such a system retroactively is probably not feasible.

* as usual this is imho (unless stated otherwise); feel free to disagree, ignore or try to change my mind. Agreeing with me is ofc also allowed, but makes for much worse flamewarsarguments.

It is a full moon night and ... bèèè! ... the Weresheep are out...
