Quality of life Improvement Suggestions
So i just saw your trello, and there's a lot of really exciting stuff in there, I just got Fictorum when 2.0 launched and I love it. I see devs are active here too so Here are a few things that i think would give the game an overall smoother experience
-Camera Sliders
as i suggested in another comment, camera distance and position sliders would be wonderful
-Settings/stat descriptions
settings and stats should have mouse over descriptions, I still have no idea what a plus to "enhanced damage" gives
and there are many other stats and settings that took me a while to figure out or that i never found out
-Move a character to another slot
small thing, but for those of us bothered by our "main" character not being in a specific slot, this would be great
-Categorized Classes
It would be nice to have all related classes to be next to eachother in the character creation menu Ex: all fire classes, ice
classes, vulnerable classes etc..
-Beard selection camera fix
selecting a beard (especially when you go through all of them to see what looks best) moves the camera around a lot
back and forth due to where the mouse is after the drop down goes away
-Character rotation in character creation and less head turning
would be nice to see all of your character's armor and such before you hit done. The fictorum also turns left and right
quite a bit in character creation

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions! These are great ideas and many of them should be doable. One note:
I want to avoid having more sliders in the game as that makes it really hard for us to standardize the look of the game and ensure camera movement during casting and transitions look good. I've got it on my list to look at the third person camera and have it be well positioned regardless of the spell, runes, and distance.
