I hate the zoom. It sucks to be locked onto something in battle when you're against a wall, and you can't really change the camera, so you're stuck looking at mob feet ('cause I'm short). But yeah, if the obstacle is a WALL, I agree with 'erasing' it...but if its something else...what if I have my camera over there because I'm attempting to get a really good look at it? I've had many times where I've swiveled things inbetween me and the camera in order to get a close look at it. And it would be kinda lame if the camera went around erasing things you didn't want it to... So... I guess, realistically, they should stick with how it is but without the zoom. :/
