I loved the story, the crafting, the quests, and most things about D:OS, but I never finished playing it. Why? Because of the very awkward isometric view & movement controls. I've played other Larian games and never felt this way about them. I've always loved the Larian games until this one.
I got so very tired of never being able to see the full battle area, of not being able to see what was up ahead, because with isometric view I was stuck facing the same direction all the time, and it wasn't the direction I was moving in. Yes, you could override it, but using the override was extremely awkward & it would keep messing up, so I'd have to pause the game in the middle of the action to reset it.
Further, the graphics were clearly made for the isometric view, which meant that in the poorly functioning mouse-look mode the graphics were full of simply awful glitches. It just made immersion impossible, and playing extremely frustrating.
I could have lived with the graphics glitches if mouse-look view and steering had actually worked, but they didn't. I kept trying for a couple of months thinking I would get used to it or it would get better. It didn't and I finally just gave up.
Please, please give us real mouse-look view and zoomable view controls. If it stays the way it is, not only will I never finish what appears to be an otherwise excellent game, I will not be contributing to the kickstarter campaign for D:OS II.
