Chase-cam
 

Is there any way to unlock the camera? I would rather have a static cam that you can flip around at will, instead of a chase-cam that slowly moves to its default position if flipped

Move the camera to the desired position, and with the right button pressed, press the left button.

That helps, thank you, but is there a way to make sure the camera stays still even if you turn your chacter around (like the cam in neverwinter nights)?

no!
u have to use ur mouse to look

trust me u just have to get used to it
