First Person Mode

[John Cena]

Is it in the game? Do they have plans to add it?

EDIT: They should add it for free or maybe as a DLC in 3 months. I will buy it.

[Wolfgang421]

No and no.

[BigAlzBub]

No.

[John Cena]

Can I at least zoom in so its like third person?

[everybe2]

Nop.

The Larian RPG engine was never designed with first person in mind. It’s exclusively isometric top down. Why would you even want a first person mode? It doesn’t make sense and wouldn’t improve immersion either.

So I can RP my character in first-person just like I RP myself IRL. Why do you think first person wouldn't improve immersion?

[EruWan]

hope they don't

[cire87]

first person perspective seems super horrible

you pretty much can do that, yes. but I am not sure that max zoom is the best way to play this kind of game. you may find yourself unzooming often to see more around you.

No... This is not Skyrim... This is not the kind of game that will add or even needs First person POV. It wouldn't work at all

[Praesi]

Will not happen, would be absolutly useless anyway.

[Lappis]

would be impossible since you wont be able to see all the enemies before they would kill you

Short answer the game isn't designed for it as has been said. Slightly longer answer, you can control any character at pretty much any time. I can't imagine the headache I'd get from constantly switching perspectives as I move from character to character if first person was a thing. We get cut scenes in dialogue which is as close to first person as I suspect the game will get, even with mods.

It would be awesome to be able explore the world in first person.

This.
One of the big thing i liked in neverwinter nights 2 and spellforce 1&2 is that you could swich between top down or first person on the fly.
