Best NWN2:MotB Camera Setup?

[Gruu]

Hi all,

I've been playing NWN2otB again after a several-month hiatus. (I'm early in Act II.) Within an hour of starting it up again, I remembered why I had set it down: the camera control is abysmal, and I'm not sure what I can do to make it better. Almost everyone on the Codex has had high praise for the story, and I'd like to play through it, but the camera makes even walking across town an onerous affair.

For those of you that have played it, was there particular camera settings that you used to make things better?

Thanks!

Strategy Mode
Free-Moving (not centered on character)
Marquee Select

Or if you're playing in Character mode
Turn Camera on Mouse Hitting Edge of the Screen
Ceiling Off
Also, IIRC, there is an option to disable the camera from changing the angle to horizon. Might be wrong

I can't rememeber the exact controls I have, but I use the Strategy mode with the camera focused on my character. Use the mousewheel (press and hold) to spin the camera around. It's pretty much identical to how I played NWN1, except that we got the Marquee selection this time around.

Works great for me.

I prefer Character Mode, even though WASD is kind of funky in this game. I like leaving ceilings on and auto-fade off, as I'm a cheap two-dollar graphics whore through-and-through. I turn on the "snap-back" camera feature (whatever that's called) and I turn the mouse sensitivity way down so zooming and rotating is manageable (mapped freelook to 'X'). High framerate suggested for this mode only.

For crowded combat situations I often switch to Strategy Mode with ceilengs off. It's much easier to target spells and so forth this way.

Stupid topic, all the camera options suck in NWN2.

Thank you for the feedback! I'll try out your suggestions and will hopefully find something that works.

No matter what you try the camera will piss you off immensely and force you to quit again.

The camera is perfectly fine. It may not be the best, but it's not unbearable.
