nah, because the rotation of camera is limited you cant really rotate it so that the tree does not obscure the view a lot. Its not complete obscuration but it is there in a large way. That is not really necessary - unless the devs really wanted to make it so.
You cannot not run to the tree because you have to keep up with Wulfram otherwise he runs straight into undead who kill him dead, very fast.
Besides, i may have misunderstood your previous post but you did say that you ran very close to the boat so you get a "better position" or something? You are rushing in intentionally? right?
I dont - and the fight triggers properly while im still on the road above the beach. So... dont run towards a boat full of Orcs? Or, in other words - "into" it. You log.
Therefore - im not pretending about anything and you are someone who keeps loosing every argument he starts and then pathetically tries to pretend otherwise in some other thread or a post. This will be the last time you address me in a derogatory manner too.
Understand?
now,...
If you take a look at your own screenshot you will see that by running that close to the boat you are preventing the Orcs to come into the range of the guards - which of course results in them engaging only you in combat because you are the only thing they see at that point.
Admittedly, the range is not so big that the guards shoudlnt be able to see the fight and then join in, but such events are happening across the game where all enemies or NPCs that are left behind some specific range dont engage in combat - which is a known deficiency of the mechanic that enables you to disengage from combat if you want - and it is something that the devs are obviously working on.
For the time being though, one should not run into Orcs and then complain that they attack him - meaning, my comment was made with tongue in cheek sentiments. I was jostling you. Pulling your chain, as it were. Or - joking witcha.
