    Having to hold R-mouse button down to see where I am going is annoying.
    Please add an option to lock camera to follow behind character.
    (eg. I turn-> camera turns with me)

    I think you are intended to turn with your mouse.

    I have mentioned it several other places but the easy fix to this is to add 'stickiness' to the camera.

    when you run x number of steps in a direction, the camera auto corrects itself back behind you.

    This is overrode by looking around with the right mouse button. So for example you are running forward, you can look around you with the right mouse button, you look to your right, you let go of the mouse button, and after a few steps or seconds the camera corrects itself around back behind you, fluidly and without interrupting your running or making you right click move it back yourself.

    It also eliminates the incredibly annoying 'running back towards the camera at yourself' because after a few steps of running towards yourself the camera stickiness would kick in and correct itself back around behind you.

    This also goes towards helping the people that are comfortable with the fixed camera and free mouse look as in other games like skyrim, while still keeping the freedom of using the mouse for world interaction and being able to look around you without your character turning.

    I would prefer FPS style where aiming, camera, facing are all the same. e.g. TERA, Neverwinter, ESO
    But...to pull this off, they would need to make the game much less mouse intensive, esp combat.
