Metaphor? I wasn't really talking about it that way, no. It's not just a metaphor... it's a form of immersion!
So are you saying you like Neverwinter Nights' camera better than Baldur's Gate? If so... :S ...
NWN's character models may be better than BG, but the environments? BG wins hands down (the Infinity engine also easily beats Fallout's and it's tile-based graphics too, imo. There's a reason that it lasted through five titles across five years. It's quite good.). And I vastly prefer the camera in BG, as I said, because of how much of a pain it was in NWN... what about you?
