Camera angle option

Add a new option in the game options to change the camera angle this may get more players to play on console as the classic camera angle may be keeping people that have never played the game from playing it due to the fact that they are not used to playing with a camera angle designed for Mouse and Keyboard 20+ years ago with the original release of Diablo 2 so making a more console/controller friendly camera angle might be what this game needs to get more new players

having an option to adjust the angle of the camera to bring it in closer may help in some areas as well as make it playable for people who are used to the classic first-person and third-person camera angles and either cannot or have a difficult time adjusting to the wide over the back camera angle which is rarely used in console games this camera angle is more common for PC games as they are generally played using a mouse and keyboard
