Baldur’s Gate 3 never ceases to amaze, with a new feature that simply allows you to play in first person. Enough to give a second wind to the RPG? Let’s find out together.
A Baldur’s Gate 3 fan recently developed a mod allowing you to play in a first-person view, providing a completely new immersion in the game’s universe. This mod, known as Fake 1st Person Tweak, changes the position of the camera so that it is positioned just above the main character’s head. This modification allows players to see the world of Baldur’s Gate through the eyes of their avatar.
Baldur’s Gate 3 yes, but in first person
The mod was featured in a 48-second video by YouTuber Luvian Skyrim, where he explores the Druid Grove. The first-person perspective radically changes the viewing experience, making environments, like the Grove, larger and more immersive. However, this new perspective also reveals some graphic tricks, such as foliage floating above the ground, that are not normally noticeable from a top view.
To work properly, this mod requires two other modifications: Native Camera Tweaks, which provides the tools needed to adjust perspective, and WASD Character Movement, which allows moving with the keyboard rather than the mouse, making moving more intuitive in first person view.
Although the mod introduces an innovative camera above the character’s head, it is important to note that this setup can sometimes be prone to bugs, particularly when using a controller, which may require adjustments additional settings in the camera settings.
The mod also allows for quick switching between first-person and third-person views, giving players the flexibility to choose their perspective according to the needs of the moment, including for a better appreciation of the environment or to manage more effectively tactical combat, which is essential in group management.
