Is there a mod that can make this game first person or over the shoulder camera?

Hi!

That sounds absolutely horrible and unplayable. Why would you want that?

Because I prefer playing this way in my games..I havent played this one,but I was wondering if I can modify the camera somehow

it would literally be unplayable, since its a turn based strategic game. Trust me on that.

Listen to this person. There's doing something a certain way because you prefer it and then there's shooting yourself in the foot.

The way abilities are targeted, how combat and the world itself is interacted with as well as how the art of the world itself was designed, a camera angle like you ask for just wouldn’t work. Not to mention how the interaction works, the entire game would require a pass through to change hitboxes for clicking on things or how the UI works with the world. Basically, the game would have to be rebuilt just to do this.

I believe I saw a mod mentioned trying to do this, but I highly recommend trying to get used to the current camera. It was chosen because that it how this kind of game should be played and what works best.

All the camera angles that currently exist in the game also make the game horrible and unplayable as it is right now too.

For example, in ~95% of battles, you can't see anything properly because the screen is a gigantic cluster**** of necrofire/steam everywhere. Likewise, if you summon a level 10 or higher Incarnate champion, he completely covers the enemy character he is standing over. All of these things make it darn near impossible to see the enemy character and to select it for targeting.

Sometimes you can find the enemy character eventually, after tons of aggravating struggle, by a combination of repeatedly switching back and forth between both of the available camera angles, double-clicking on the enemy portraits, and prolifically zooming the camera all the way down to the surface of the ground, and then back out again.

But all of that makes for extremely annoying and barely-functional gameplay.

Likewise, the game often makes it unclear where you need to go proceed to the next area of the map, because the next area is only accessible by traveling to a much lower elevation, but the world map in no way makes clear where those transfer points from higher to lower elevations are actually located. And where the world map makes it look like they are located, they actually are not: all that is there are invisible walls that block further progression in the same direction. The only way to solve this problem is through endless pixel-hunting and trial & error, all of which is the antithesis of fun.

DOS 1 ocassionally has problems with seeing/targeting enemies during battle too, but nowhere near as bad as DOS 2 does. And DOS 1 never has the map elevation/navigation problem.

It’s really not that bad...


Just use the toggle highlight characters button and you’ll find everybody in a second.

From your history of discussion threads and posts on the threads of others, its very obvious you hate this game with a passion. Please, just stop playing it if you hate it this much. Its clearly not for you, and nothing of what you said is in any way shape or form helpful. So, with all due respect, ♥♥♥♥ off and play something else. Thank you, and cheers.

@Dragon.

Possibly you had these issues, but in my 500+ hours of gameplay I never had issues finding elevation change areas, enemies or basically anything else that you just mentioned. If it was that bad, you might be an exception due to your monitor or some other unique issue. I don’t see enough complaints about this to say that it is common or an overall issue.

There's a rebindable hotkey to toggle character outlines, defaulting to the tilde key that pretty much erases visibility issues with models overlapping each other, especially when combined with being able to rotate the camera to any angle you want. Oh, and you can just use the turn timeline at the top to target them as well.

So...I find it hard to take those complaints seriously.

Dragon does nothing but complain. Nothing. He really must hate this game with a passion, yet he plays and is active in its discussions. Perplexing, to say the least.

[Brynwall]

Yeah... I just went to Dragon's profile and blocked them...

yeah thanks for everyone saying this game wouldnt be playable in first person ... did you even play the game? I played this game now for some time and I can say it would be pretty cool to be in first person mode sometimes. Yeah you say all about battles and that it is a round based game but hell this is a Well made RPG, with great story, great storytelling and a very big, open world sooo I spent most of my time walking and looking around in this world to find secrets, hidden doors, chests and rooms. And as long I havent tested first person mode myself I do believe that this game would be very very nice if you could just see everything what your character sees.

And even in fights itself it would be more "realistic" and more fun. You could just use what you can see, if you are on fire, you cant barely see your enemies and stuff like that. That would be a great mechanic and I would love to test that so if anyone here can tell me and Vanessa if there is a mod that can put you in 1st person .... tess us please, ikf not then do not say that this game would suck in that camera mode if you havent tried it yet!... thank you ♥

Lay off the spirits, pal.

I really would like to see people try to aim a arrow storm in 1st or 3rd person. Or basically any form of ranged attack. Especially magic ones that require you to aim between targets to hit as many as you can.
