Dragon Age: Origins had the perfect camera that let you look around like an action game and then switch to the tactical camera. It's astounding that modern rpgs cannot match how good the camera was in a game from 2009.

I adore BG3. But fighting the camera is harder than fighting the mobs.

Although it did get easier when I started using a controller to get around and a mouse to fight.
