Divinity Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

[Zep Zepo]

So about 10 hours into the game; combat is great -- why on earth is it in full 3d? Camera can't rotate fully which makes it impossible to click on things sometimes. Still think they should have had something closer to ToEE is terms of the 'camera'.

There is a settings option somewhere to unlock the camera.

Isn't in wonderful when ignorant people drop by months after something has been repeated thousand of times to spit the same nonsense? Congrats, you are wrong... 5 months after everybody else realized they were wrong.

That's just as cool as people who STILL whine about the roshambo minigame not having a 'skip' button.

That reminds me, did they fix that minigame so the actual skill is taken into account when skipping the minigame, and it is not entirely random?

Isometric 3D is an abomination no matter how you put it.

 

[Perkel]

problem is not 3D. Problem is that because game is 3D they give player ability to rotate camera which doesn't have any value to the game. And if game was created with rotating camera in mind it only adds clunk to the game as player needs to fidle with camera to play game.

I am constantly annoyed by Wasteland 2 approach to camera and how i need to rotate camera to do shit.

Funny thing is when you click on it the game recommends against unlocking the camera.

 

[Kirkpatrick]

Not that funny actually. Will post two screenshots (rehosted from Larian forums) that'll probably say better than me why it's recommended against.

The game wasn't made with free camera movement in mind.

 

[Zeriel]

Game made with fixed camera because fixed camera is always a good idea.

People complain.

Developers put in optional toggle to move camera for sperging autists.

People complain.

There's no winning here.

 

[The Glitterdust Golem]

Game made

This is where they went wrong, and yet another testament to Cleve's absolute genius.

 

[zerotol]

I feel like the first chapter is very good but the game seems to loose some coherence from silverglen on.

I like the fact that you can go everywhere, but i am missing a more firm hand in driving the story forward.

..application at Larian? Not even an auto-reply in 2 weeks, guess I don't fit the profile, but want to make sure.

There are thousands, it takes time I'm afraid.

Ouch, that's rough. Thousands of applicants and these are the best employees they can find.

(I would say the same thing about literally every other game developer in the world)

Throwing disclaimers in to protect feelings now, Roguey? Getting soft?

Devs are only against it because it brings up some graphical artifacts. But those are so rare and so minor that noone in their right mind would leave the camera rotation switched off. The game works very well with rotatable camera. But as usual, some codexers still can't manage a 3D camera. It is mindblowing how incapable those people are when it comes to this.

I've had a few slip-ups, but I'm still set on doing the reasonable poster routine.

 

[Perkel]

Devs are against it because they created game without full 3D rotation in mind. But they included option to unlock full 360 3D rotation because there will be always whinny NWN2 kids whining for useless 3D rotation.

So we can have both of both worlds. Shitty people fighting with clunky 360 camera and normal people playing it with locked camera (because there is no reason to unlock it)

 

[Niektory]

Unfortunately targeting enemies in this game can be a real PITA when they clump together or hide behind walls. I've had situations where it was impossible without unlocking the camera. Horribly inaccurate click detection doesn't help either.

 

[Abu Antar]

STEAM say I have 98 hours played and I never had that problem. Played with a locked camera all the way through the end.

Just shut up if you have no idea what are you talking about. Useless 3D rotation? Have you even played the game, or are you just trying to by clever? Full rotation works perfectly, and helps a lot when navigating and targeting. Locked camera is the shitty one and it is just annoying when fighting lots of enemies, or moving in corridors. You can play with it, but why would I settle for the worse option, when I can play it more comfortably .

 

[Perkel]

Yes i played whole game from start to finish with locked rotation.
There is 0 reason to unlock it. It doesn't help anything nor it has any purpose because whole game was created with that locked camera. If anything you will be looking at bare environments and insides from different POV as they didn't put any detail on other side of things.

Every fucking review complains about the shitty click detection, which causes you misclick on an enemy (especially if the enemy does huge idle animations). This is a lot less pain in the ass if you unlock camera rotation. Sure, you can play without it, but why would I settle with the worse option? And don't tell me that it doesn't help at all because as I said, it does.

The only thing you lose with unlocking is a few (and only a FEW) less detailed modells, and I couldn't care less about that if it is more comfortable to play with an unlocked camera.

 

[Abu Antar]

The only reason someone would misclick an enemy is if they had worse reflexes than my grandma (or me).

 

[Athelas]

Why do you think they're playing a turn-based game?

 

[J_C]

Since we made a discussion about this problem in this thread, I think this is a valid complaint.

I'm not saying it isn't a valid complaint as I have read that a lot of people have this problem. It happened to me once or twice. I didn't think much about it as I have 10% vision on the left eye and 30% vision on the right eye, so I mostly chalked it up to that.
