@jetah Thanks, that really helps a lot, should also edit that into the first post in my opinion. From seeing how good looking of a game Wolcen is, comaring it to a game that doesn't have rotatable camera say like Diablo III, I personally would still enjoy a game with locked camera more, I guess it is all up to how the devs want the game to be.

@fibs I guess I have misunderstood. I was thinking of the "battlerite" camera swing earlier mentioned.
Even then again, I would argue not being able to rotate would be better, this might just be a preference thing but If there would be both rotatable and locked camera options in the game for the player's preference, it wouldn't be good to give the "secrets" to the player that prefers the rotatable one. If the game was full on rotatable, it would just make the combat wonky. If we don't include "secrets" we have been arguing on, having both options in the game is no problem at all.
A secret passage for both players can be just made by obscuring the entrance and not putting it on the minimap just like Torchlight II does, it doesn't have to be a big thing to make it feel good.
The first post not being clear enough threw me off I guess.

@fibs
immerse /ɪˈməːs/ "involve oneself deeply in a particular activity."
looking for the secret passages and other things you mentioned becomes the easiest thing you can do without locked camera. walking around and actually looking around helps you involve yourself deeply in playing the game rather than just flinging your camera around the map.

@jetah said in Rotatable Camera?:

Problem is people who are moving south don't have the fov that those moving north have, thus giving an advantage to the southerners moving north. with a rotating camera, those moving south can see just as much as those moving north.

i see that would be a big problem on pve but actually might be better for pvp where it helps with the strategizing, the roads they take to travel etc.

i would actually prefer a locked camera. if the game's combat system is going to be like an arpg like they have said before, the camera should be similar too. being in locked camera would also give the player a better immersive experience.

i invite you to check out https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/530/hell-roleplay if that is the way you want to play the game.

recaps are the best things to come out and to hear that a proper gameplay video is coming out in the next 3 weeks is amazing.
to make terrain not feel empty, weather changes are the most important thing in my opinion but since we know there will be seasons i'm assuming that's already a thing. npcs going hunting or just walking around, small npc camps/towers that upgrade/change over time would add enough that we wouldn't be minding the actual terrain that much.

"From the moment we enter this life we are in the flow of it. We measure it and we mark it, but we cannot defy it. We cannot even speed it up or slow it down. Or can we? Have we not each experienced the sensation that a beautiful moment seemed to pass to quickly, and wished that we could make it linger? Or felt time slow on a dull day, and wished that we could speed things up a bit?"

"When I'm around you, I kind of feel like I'm on drugs. Not that I do drugs. Unless you do drugs, in which case I do them all the time. All of them."

being able to farm cosmetics and achievements. gives another cool reason to continue playing the game other than all the other classic end games where you do dailies or keep farming the same stuff.

Greetings and salutations Nazul, I do hope our roads cross one day so that I may see what you really are.
