You can zoom right out with the mouse wheel, and you can look at the sky.
The camera bounces a bit in a few cramped areas, that’s about the worst you can say about it.
What are people talking about here, it sounds like there are several topics being mixed up.
The overarching topic is camera functionality.
Yes, you can zoom out. We want to zoom further out.
Yes, you can zoom in. We want to zoom further in.
Yes, you can see your surroundings. We want to see more of them.
Yes, the camera bounces a bit. We want it to bounce less.
… actually, it doesn’t bounce “a bit”. It bounces a LOT. Try doing some of the extremely cramped cave-puzzles in Lions Arch; for example the one you access by the well that leads you north of town. The stalactites in that cave really takes your camera for a ride.

+ Zoom Out (The current max view makes me feel like I’m in a room where the ceiling is too low)
+ Zoom In (I’d love to be able to zoom in on my character’s face without having to force the camera by pressing it up against a building)
+ First Person (Yeah, you know how your camera goes haywire during certain jumping puzzles, right? Letting us zoom all the way to first person would go a long way. Nothings says rrrrraaaage like falling off a cliff because your cameraman is a troll)
I won’t even pretend to have any idea how the game is programmed, but by experience from other games, most camera options are usually just a number easily changed either in the directory or by a quick console command in-game. Don’t need a fancy slider right away, just let us stand upright. My neck is hurting.

The sooner, the better.
I realise of course that they’ve got their plate pretty full these days, but names tend to stick and I’d like to change some of mine before they do. Let’s just say that during the rush to log on at release, some of my character names could’ve needed further reflection. :p
As for race change, what XDeadzX posted above me (reset personal story to level 1) sounds like a reasonable solution. I guess you’d technically get a shot at double story XP and story rewards by resetting your race, but to be fair that’s hardly worth much – and even if it’s deemed too valuable, disabling rewards up until the level where race was changed would be fine (albeit would possibly take some extra work to set up).
