NWN1 is a charm scrolling, it works smoothly, intuitively and I can find unthinkingly the best perspective for my battles. I just started NWN2 and I am still lost in the second room! NWN2 has many more options plus modes, so I am not sure if it is a performance issue or I need more settings tweaking. The best camera I found is supposed to work like in NWN1, but mousewheel zooming is very lagged or does not catch at all, while screen scrolling does pick up quickly but instead of moving continuously and smoothly it kind of jumps into the next blocky section. My hardware happened to be more suitable for performance than I expected, so I am running games at the top of possibilities without much trouble. NWN1 runs equally well with full graphics options, but in NWN2 I am not sure if it is a particular combination of options what affects scrolling, or if it is a game feature; I could not really discern much change between top graphics options and lower resolution, but the blockiness of scrolling persisted. What would be the best combination of graphic options and camera to reproduce the NWN1 scrolling performance?

(arent these threads supposed to bubble up? I got dizzy with the camera I concocted, I am eager to get a knowledgeable reply)

The 'best' solution will be one that is tailored to your system, since all systems are different. You need to go into Options, and you have Character Mode, Exploration Mode, and Strategy Mode. Each have their own settings for mouse, camera etc. You will need to tweak them to remove sluggishness.

Hey! I ended up dizzy from a one night playthrough! In Strategy Mode, and still got lost going in circles getting to each door and militia character. Plus obviously dying three times+ trying to move away from the magician. Win8 had much better response for games that I expected, hardware is no problem for sluggishness, it can cope with it, what I need is like a package of settings that will not send the camera wild at every turn and allow me to... well, to control NWN2 like it was NWN1 ! I can zoom linearly without effort, and advance terrain with screen edge mouseovers without losing sight of the character, and reorienting the camera is so unobstrusive I do not even notice. I also have trouble in NWN2 with clicks selecting the party members who stayed behind and leaving my PC, a planetouched warlock, well, planetouched in the scenario, if you know what I mean...
