In-Game Camera Question

[Shiek2005]

So yesterday i spend the ENTIRE evening installing NWN2, the expansion, trying to update, failing to do so, reinstalling NWN2, updating before installing the expansion, installing the expansion, updating NWN2 again, downloading WorldGate, downloading the PW files and finally i manage to get on the server to check it out.....only to have my gameplay experienced hampered by the camera.

I fine tuned the turn speed and all that, but how can i stop the camera from re-centering itself on my character whenever i move it sideways?

Thanks!

Hit the * key in the numpad to switch camera modes.

Not looking to switch camera modes, just want to get rid of the auto-centering.

There is an option to have the camera not follow the player. Don't let it discourage you. its a bit trying at first but mastering the camera isn't hard to do.

the auto-centering is because it's the follow mode, or whatever the hell it's called now. it's the one that in 1 you pretty much had to use the WASD keys to move or else it was just a nightmare. since the WASD movement add assloads of lag to the server, you pretty much have to switch, and point and click.


if you switch over to the other one, you'll have to do a little tinkering in the options to have it as close to the "top-down" mode of 1. it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to get it all the way you like it. however, remember that they have a different page in the options for each camera mode, so make sure you're on the right one (strategy mode i think they call it now)

Thanks guys!

Oh and btw, the WASD keys have never really worked for me...this is an RPG not an Action game lol.
