Center and zoom camera options - Game Design & Technical limits

Please add the option to center the camera.
This option is already ingame but limited to not function fully!

Please add the option to zoom out just a little bit more.
The option is already in the game but limited to a fraction of its potential usefulness!

IF its is a technical limitation (rendering, obstruction, adaptive zoom limitations), limit the zoom out, just let us center it.

If the limited view is a design feature...

The UI is a very bad skill cap limiter.

The zoom out distance should not be limited by an arbitrary number, it should be limited by the disadvantage of perception.

A player should choose between battlefield and close combat awareness by zooming in/out or finding a "sweetspot".

If you want the game to be more focused on combat action then implement and accent more details that favor closer view (i.e. swing charge animations, bigger penalties when hitting blocking targets).

Limiting the camera view is a poor design choice and makes the player feel frustrated if hes restricted not by his own ability to notice these things but by the UI telling him hes not allowed to see more.

On a more positive note, i would like to give you guys a pat on the shoulder for the FoV option. This could make the 1st person view more than just a scenery viewing option. Just dont limit it too much, lol.

I am a big TES fan, an experienced pc gamer and unfortunately a UI designer. I will play as long as i can keep ignoring this aspect of the game. Not for long im afraid. I just hate standing to the right of the crosshair, maybe if i could switch sides at will it would extend it by a month.

Thanks for reading and forwarding!
