Camera altered by SoU?

    I have a weird question about NWN. Until yesterday I just had the basic game + HotU. Then I finally found a copy of SoU, installed it... and now it definitely feels as if some things have changed, graphically. The main thing I can point to is that the camera seems to be set at a different angle, giving a more "over head" oriented view. To be able to see an adequate area I also have to zoom out further, and so everything appears smaller. Maybe I'll get used to it, so I don't say it's a bad thing, it's just weird. Does anybody else know about this, or am I just hallucinating?

    You can alter the angle of the camera just as you can zoom in and out (HotU allowed for very close zooming). Perhaps installing it just set the default angle to be more straight down, you just need to put it back were your used to (i cant recall which does which, but doing this uses 2 of the 6 buttons above the arrow keys... insert, ph up, etc. i just click and hold down my middle mouse button to move it)

    Funny... I'm playing HotU now and I could swear my camera suddenly can't be as distanced as it could be when I was playing SoU. It's as if it's locked back to how it was in the NWN OC originally. It's very annoying as I often can't get a clear look of the entire battlefield. But I had both expansions installed even when I played SoU. So it's strange... the only thing I can think of is that the HotU campaign modules themselves have a limit set to how much you can distance the camera. But I don't know if this is even possible.
