I find that while playing BG3 I enjoy playing the game with the camera right behind the characters, or from what I'm told is called third person camera.
With third person camera you limit your point of view to strictly what the character can see from their position, instead of seeing the entire battlefield. This brings up some interesting points:
The first - It's more realistic. for example: When two allied characters are in battle and there is a wall between them, the player can still command one to assist the other, although realistically the character itself would have no idea what's going on beyond that wall. With third person camera the player can see exactly what each character sees, and roleplay them accordingly.
The second point - Immersion. When the camera is behind my character, moving alongside them, I feel like I am the character, traveling through the world.
The last - Animations. Again, in combat, when closing up to each character you can really see what are they doing and how they're moving - from casting a spell to a cambion swinging a sword, just so the mind flayer steps backwards to dodge it. This really adds a lot to the game in my opinion.
So my point is, make a button to "Enable Third Person Camera", because right now closing up to your character is not perfect. The problems I would love to see fixed with this button are the option to "look up" when facing stairs for example. and to make the camera move so it will remain behind the shoulder of the character, so when an enemy moves you won't see him just walking towards the camera.
Originally I wanted to call this Movie Mode because it makes the game look cinematic.
