Let me chime in. I don't want to get rid of the isometric view, I think it is wonderful for DOS. On the other hand, I have played (twice) DOS Classic (I could not find a way to do so in the EE) with a behind the shoulder perspective and it was fantastic. It was like playing a different game. Yes, it was far from being perfect since a lot of texture (especially the sky) was missing and/or distorted, but it was possible with absolutely no extra work from Larian. So, my idea is simple: why not 'leaking' a simple way to adjust the camera angle with no support from Larian? I understand they don't want to be officially involved since I am sure then people would complain about it, but just give us who are willing to experiment more with the camera view a bit more freedom. It is really a different experience playing DOS (Classic) being able to look in the distance from behind your party.
Alternatively, make a new game like Ego Draconis but include TB combat please....
