Camera angles and other irritating elements
Hello, enjoying the game so far, have not encoutered any game-breaking bugs that everyone's talking about just yet (I haven't advanced very far granted). I am sure they will be addressed in patches so not too worried about them. However, there are a few things that I find annoying and wanted to ask the crowd here if there is a way to fix them or that's just how the developers want it.
-- Camera angle. I tried everything I can think of, but there doesn't appear to be a way to lower and raise your camera angle, only to rotate it. Is that so? That seems like a huge oversight that makes the gaming experience extremely uncomfortable/bordering on unplayable at times, at least for me - some things you can't see very well or they look awkward or even blocked from view competely.
-- Finding your character if you scroll out. Most likely I am missing something obvious, but how do I center on my main character/group? I know you can go to compass on a separate screen and do it from there, but can you do it on the main screen? In many RPGs there is a portrait on the main screen you click on to go to the character, but in this game it only appears during battle. Just a small button on the main screen would have saved the day for me.
-- After the latest fix I can no longer see controls/key bingings - that screen is black now when you click on the button. Video and audio setting are still there. So, can you see them? Do you have it like this after the hotfix? Can anyone tell me if there is a key to highlight loot and searchable items? Without that it's a complete nightmare trying to locate them on the map...

And just to join in the frustrating chorus (as I know this is "as intended" and won't be fixed), but why on earth did the developers decide to introduce this whole gender equality thing? There is such a shortage of games with medieval settings with no magical or sci-fi/fantasy elements, why ruin it like this? For the record, this was irritating in Conquistador Expeditions too. Why would you go to al the length to research 8th century names/locations/lore/history and then decide to make it all into a fantasy RPG by introduction female fighters (yes, I do know they existed, but there were an oddity and absolute minority even if we accept that it wasn't all folklore/legend)? It's just beyond me. Venting over. Still love the game:steamhappy:

-The camera angle is set, you can scroll in and out with the mouse wheel or right click and drag to rotate (also "Q" and "E" will rotate).

-When you move the camera away from your party, press "F" to have the camera snap back to your character and keep them centered. If you click and hold the left-mouse button your character will walk or run (depending on how close your cursor is to your avatar).

-That sounds like a bug, moving this post to the support forum.
