Hello,
I realize the focus of this game is squad based RTS oriented style control. However, the descriptions explicitly suggest I can play the game solo - Like a lone wanderer.
Doing so, I feel it would benefit to a Camera type that is closer and lower to the ground.
Now, I'd prefer to move with WASD and move the camera reminiscent of WoW. I know this isn't that sort of game but controlling the camera alone similar to WoW would be extremely beneficial to my experience. I feel it would be a lot more immersive.

Any thoughts?

this has been suggested before many times. and you can zoom in really close, double click to focus primarily on the one person and follow him around.

Please use search for there is a ton of feature requests already and many doubles or triple or more requests of the same thing.

I am well aware that the request has been discussed before. Zooming in does not fulfill my request, nor does it fulfill the other requests. If it's been asked so many times, is there a reason it hasn't been implemented, aside from "I don't think it suits the game". While it may not suit your play style, why alienate those of us who want to enjoy the game differently? I realize adding WASD and action game styled controls would be difficult and require a lot of changes and is beyond the scope of my request.

I've been playing zoomed in and focused on the character, however that doesn't stop the camera controls from being awkward and ill-suited for a viewpoint as such. I believe it may be because the camera is focused too low on the character, if the point of rotation was higher it might help a bit.

I remember that there was a thread where Chris said something about this but I couldn't find it so I might be wrong.
