[Suggestion] Have Combat Camera center on action

Post by Temple »

I've been playing a couple of hours now and I think I see something that might be improved. The combat camera, that is the view that follows the action during the turn of the AI, only seems to move if the current action (shooting, melee, moving) is off-screen. Otherwise the view point doesn't change even if the current action is off the center of the screen. I was wondering if it might be better (it would be for me) if the camera would center on the actual action taking place, which would help since there are various other animations taking place all during the AI turn and sometimes the eye gets mislead. I realize this might be a hit to slower computers, so perhaps it could be introduced as a gameplay option.

Yes we did consider that, but some people find it very annoying (not to mention dizzy-making) if the camera is constantly changing the viewpoint. Hence it only does so if the action is off the screen or very close to the edge of the screen.
