Combat - auto facing enemies

I am not sure of other peoples preferences, but I am not fond of the auto-rotate to face your enemy. It feels like you only have partial control over your character. Especially jarring when pulling mobs, or trying to 'exit stage left (right even)'.

But then again I am old so it may just be a generation thing. Do other people prefer the auto-rotate? Thoughts?

 

I also find this annoying whilst attempting to flee when i am grossly outnumbered. I have taken to using the 'Z' hot key to re sheath your weapon. this will toggle the always face the enemy mode. It would be nice to have it as an option in the game menu.
