Hey all, I have been messing about with Gothic II the last
few days again, and something I noticed about it many times
is starting to really bug me, so I thought I'd ask about it.

In both Gothic I and II, I always felt the view was a bit
goofy. Not sure exactly how to describe. Kinda like it's
going thru some weird fisheye lense or something.  Things
seem stretched out or out of normal perspective, compared
to most (if not all) other 3d games I play.  I'd always noticed
it in both G1 and G2.  But when you play it for a while you
get used to it. But in switching back and forth between it and
other games lately, I have noticed it more and more and wish
I could do something about it.

Anyone know what I mean, and, if it's possible to change
it at all?
