I figured that most of the people on these forums are avid gamers therefore this is the perfect place to ask a little question. If you were playing a 3rd person action/adventure game, would you rather have a static camera following the character around at a set distance and truning with him/her, or would you like to be able to control all aspects of the camera's position?

Thank you very much for your input,
Sam

Thanks for the input.

I just got the idea (patially thanks to someone on another forum)to have both parts of that. We'd have it so that the player pushes a button and it switches to a mode where they control the camera with the mouse, then hit that button again and it locks the camera there.

Thanks for the input guys.
Since I am getting mixed feedback I am not sure what to do yet, Maybe have an option so you can pick which you want.
