NWN2 - what works for you camera wise?
Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2006 11:14 am
Hi all. Having fun with NWN2 apart from well documented camera issues. I notice a lot of people saying that once you tweak it abit it works but having tried a lot of variations and modes, i am still struggling particularly indoors. I liked the DDO controls where the mouse turned you + camera and then you just held down W to move forward. but can't seem to set NWN2 up that way. pure topdown doesn't seem to work as well as in NWN1, and also i feel that mode misses scenary and viewrange for enemies.
so who feels they have a successful configuration that they feel like sharing?
- so far outdoors drivemode seems to work best for me
- to move, i find holding down left mouse button works well in drivemode as you just steer by moving mouse. but to keep control this way it helps to walk (hold down shift) and slow down the camera pan speed. otherwise you end up weaving all over the place.
But that doesen't work very well indoors as vision gets blocked by walls and objects.
In combat, i tab select a target but can't always get myself to run over and melee attack. instead i run to a random spot on the ground. probably just missing a hotkey or something to autoattack selected target
Also, who is managing to do combat without pausing?
I remember when i played NWN1 OC i paused all the time but then when i went to multiplayer it was a shocker. had to completely relearn my playstyle. my hope was to get through NWN2 without relying on pause but currently due to difficulty with camera and selecting foes i have to pause all the time (let alone AI companion issues).
