also for gaming perspective, just moving the camera to to see it all is not so fun as to go exploring, pillars of eternity does this, you'll never know what you'll find in next corner, and thats fun

For me realism usually is more fun.
I agree with this but find myself being forced to move the camera separate to the character constantly because of the stupid angle. If they could allow us to pan the camera up like a normal person can see instead of being forced to see nothing higher than eye level, then I would love to have it permanently attached to the character.
