I really like the Follow View but it has a huge flaw,
you can not change the angle from where you watch the hearthling.
This lowers the joy to follow a hearthling through the day.
A Lock could be added to enable the camera rotation while following a hearthling.
Something like this:
On the upper left corner you see a lock(inserd via paint) that can be locked and unlocked.
By locking it, you will be able to rotate the view while following the hearthling.
Edit:
When using the follow view for the first time, there should/could be an info box that informs the player, that there is a lock and how to use it
