Wich camera you prefer and why?
I normally use top down camera,becuase i cant adapt with the driving cam and the chase cam is just bad
My family were all knights,but none protected those who cannot fight for themselves.They all cared about their noble status more than anything else.I would be a true knight,i would train on the ways of the paladin -Arcavius Ryde

Driving. I sometimes use free camera (middle mouse) when standing in corners or setting up fixtures, but I like that driving camera gives me a moderately long view and keeps it pointed in the direction that my character is facing, so that I don't have to constantly fiddle with it.

Free camera, I'm used enough to microing in different games it doesn't bother me and is more helpful that way.

Re: Wich camera you prefer and why?
I've been using top-down, though whenever I'm crafting or repairing stuff, the crafting fixtures bounce a lot - enough to give me motion sickness, and I have no idea how to stop it from doing that.
How do you turn on free camera? Haven't yet found the option >.<

Re: Wich camera you prefer and why?
I use top-down, though I have a mouse with an additional middle mouse button, which is really handy, so a lot of my camera-moving is done by "grabbing" the screen and panning to the angle I need.
Re: Wich camera you prefer and why?
Free camera but i set my view generally so its angled some from the top down view. Keyboatd for character movement and mouse for screen movement. For me i dont grab the screen to move it, but just bounce my curser off the right or left sides of the map to rotate that way or to quickly spin a 360. Oh and mouse wheel for zooming

Re: Wich camera you prefer and why?
I once decided to play Arelith while using camera settings that practically turned NWN into a 1st-person experience.
Didn't last a week. NWN models look really creepy close-up.

Re: Wich camera you prefer and why?
In the game options, under "Controls" (i think, its been awhile) there's a wee-little checkbox called "Enable Dialog Zoom" or somesuch. If that is checked, every time you start an NPC convo, you get that jarring camera zoom. Uncheck that and your camera won't give you the barfies. Hope that helps!cptcuddlepants wrote:...whenever I'm crafting or repairing stuff, the crafting fixtures bounce a lot - enough to give me motion sickness, and I have no idea how to stop it from doing that.

Free camera until I broke my mouse's middle button (4th mouse, same case). Now I kinda got used to driving camera but it's still painful to play the game.
