I agree the camera needs work, especially in places like the spider cave. Targeting was very frustrating in that series of fights.
Regarding melee vs. verticality, I don't have much trouble with that, so far. My MC is a Rogue/Thief and I use Dash a lot when I need to reach archers or mages. My other melee fighter in the group is Lae'zel, and she can get a ranged Menacing Attack or Pushing Attack in with a crossbow while moving forward to engage. She misses frequently, but that's life in this game and the enemy misses too.
The verticality can be used to your own advantage if you do enough scouting ahead. Separate a party member with the best stealth stats, and check out ways you might be able to move the party into a better location to initiate combat. If you just waltz straight into every fight, you'll often be walking into essentially a trap that's been set up in advance to defeat you.
