fighting the camera to see level above.

my camera is getting stuck too low and i cant properly see above, even in tactical camera mode. anyone else?

This isn't uncommon with 3d games. We saw this same issue in Neverwinter nights.
The 3d view is designed as such so you can't see what your party characters can't see. Put a character up on a rock and you get to see higher.

I agree this makes things frustrating at times.
A mod was made to fix this in NWN, and I'm pretty sure we'll see one here as well.

I think the devs should let us zoom out far and just keep some areas in a fog.

yeah it is god awful, i had one hell of a time getting back up a hole i was pushed down using misty step. i ended up teleporting blind into darkness and thankfully getting up.

I wish I could give you a solution but it pisses me off as well. Sometimes when I am in a narrow cave the camera goes super high and I can't even see what's below me. And I do not like the top-down view mode so I don't use it. (When you press O, I believe). It's not a solution.
The camera in this game is awful. Aaaaawful. It's the first thing I'd fix as a dev.
