Zooming in game.

Hello

I been amazed with the work you done in NWN, though i leave here some suggestions wich i think they would benefit the game since they are "Standards" of nowadays that should not be dismissed as "not important".

1. Dont end inspection mode but, please make that the mouse scroll controls zoom in game, players shouls be able to adjust camera zoom in game all the time so it is more easyer to locate things anda interact with the worls, as well as it gives a more "free" feeling to the user.I FIND THIS VERY VERY BAD but its just my opinion.

2. Characters are very very static when not moving, make some random movements that characters would do when player is simply standing.

3. Characters should do "primary" attack even if they dont have a target, again this would give more "freedom" to players, not to mention that you could add "breakables" to maps such as containers for drops quests etc, a bit like diablo3..

Hope my ideas are not out of the way

will be active in this game community, i belive it will grow a lot with time and probably will offer me long hours of gamming like the old one did

Cheers and ty for ur amazing work.

I would have to agree. I like your ideas that you pose except number 2. I could honestly care less what my character does while I am just standing there.....mainly because if I am in game playing I am constantly on the move and secondly because there is already too much to look at while I am staring at the screen anyway. But I am not saying it isn't a good idea to some so please don't take that the wrong way.

But Yes I do agree we should be able to zoom in and out on our character at will. I know me personally having been a tank in several other games it helps to zoom out in large scale battles so you can survey the field and make sure nothing goes wrong. Plus I can't stand the distance of view the game currently has when looking at your character.

Breakables? Not a bad idea since most of the environment is interactive in a way. Jump on a table with beer mugs, the mugs move and fall off the table. But considering there is already so much to open in the way of troves that require kits I can honestly say I don't see this happening. And to think of the scale of programming they would have to do to make it possible hurts my head. There would be more that goes into it than most would think. I know it was done in games such as Diablo but the scale of those games is slightly different. It would require not only programming them to be breakable but also setting up some random drop generator and hidden random roll system to make it possible amongst other things. Again it is a good idea, just not likely to happen. I personally am happy with the current state of the game. Absolutely love it in all honesty. Is there things I would change? Sure,who wouldn't have ideas to make something better in their own opinion.

So with this rambling coming to a conclusion. I would like to say, the zoom in and out at will without being in inspect/look mode should have been standard and already there. And hey if others don't want it.....they can simply have a click box in the options to toggle it on and off so everyone will be happy about it.

In the part of the static movement, i talked of it cause its more evident in the NPC.
This will be more evident when most ppl are in end game and pass more time standing waiting for pvp or simply chating ^_^

Breakables would be fun but yes almost impossible in the scale you were thinking of, lots of prog, yes, but simple stuff like barrels woods stones etc, would be fun =D
Even with only a gold drop with its %depending on lvl or area to be simple,

The zoom function its the only thing i really think its missing, its like almost a standard =D
And yes a toggle mode would be very usefull.

Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Best Regards.
