Camera Zoom

What's the reason for the reduced camera zoom?

I think they wanted to achieve more fps by making you see less

Its more dynamic that way.

Ah, I remember similar descriptions from "The Witcher". They offer several camera views there.
They say "The closer the camera the more dynamic and action is provided".
This might also be a valid point.

It doesn't really seem like there's more action or more dynamic to me... All I see is an ugly character model taking up half my window when all the way zoomed out. And an even uglier troll behind :P

Maybe with the new gfx it'll be a slightly less ugly character model filling the screen.

Yes, that's the whole idea of doing all of the characters again.
About the camera... more dynamic and immersion is also a reason.
Higher FPS also.

I think this is a sound decision don't you think?

Was hard for me to get used to at first...but I got a smaller pet and I'm ok

Well if people wanted less fps and more dynamic they had zoom in and playing with closer camera.
Now for hunters with big pets isn't much good.

I think you missed the sarcasm there.

This low zoom factor makes me nuts, chilko. I don't want to play an ego-shooter.

Possible if you get as old as me, you will understand that.
