When zoomed out fully, it was still much closer to the characters and the ground than before. They removed any possibility to look into the distance. I think they changed this again later in a patch, claiming "it was a bug, honestly!" but the damage was done. Also I felt highly annoyed by the fact they've rather spend more money on voice over than improving some of the very disappointing side quests related stuff. There is so much else they could have done, instead they decided to add more voice over which really wasn't necessary, imo. Oh, and also when the KS was running, it was one of the things people voted for as being not very important...
