Good suggestions.
You can, however, already disable auto camera during combat. At least I found a setting for that after getting crazy annoyed at getting tossed around like a rag doll with every new attack and having to realign my camera to where I could actually see stuff. Not sure where exactly I found the setting, but it was there.
Oh wow you're right! It's called "Dynamic Combat Camera." It's so nice not have the camera constantly jump around. I'm sure I looked through all the settings before and that wasn't there. Well, that's one off the list at least!
