What are your thoughts on first person mode mods?

Post by Cybernet21 » Sat May 27, 2017 3:02 pm

So i've been thinking how nwn would look in 1st person,then i discovered some mods that add 1st person exist.So what are your thoughts on something like this?(even if you never used one of these mods)
My family were all knights,but none protected those who cannot fight for themselves.They all cared about their noble status more than anything else.I would be a true knight,i would train on the ways of the paladin -Arcavius Ryde

Tried it once, and personally the graphics are a bit dated for me to properly get immersed in that close of a zoom, not to mention the difficulty in controlling your character properly.

I think the movement would be clunky since yeah, it's kind of dated graphics and UI and all. Plus, seeing in a 360 aerial view of your character is kind of important mechanically speaking to be aware of your surroundings going through dungeons and stuff. And how would you see traps at your feet?

Personally I think it might end up being more of a pain in the butt then it would be worth but! It could be cool! You could always download it and try it and if you decide you don't like it dump the files easy peasy

What does a first person mod do that scrolling in until it's first person doesn't do?

I think that's what Cybernet21 means, MowerQueen. Unless you download a camera mod, you can't actually zoom in all the way to first person view.

Yep that's it,you cant zoom in to 1st person mode without the mod(also the mod makes it elder scrolls like).I guess i should just test it then XD

What? Sure you can. I used to do it but I didn't like it as a halfling because you're so short.

You definitely can't in an unmodded game, MowerQueen. There's a really common modded .exe that modifies the camera to allow you to zoom in all the way, zoom out farther, and look up toward the sky.

You can get close to your character without mods, but not all the way to a first person view.

This statement is false.

An FP mod sounds like a great way for your character to die.
Some builds I've worked on (not recommended):
Charisma Battlecleric
"E-Dodge Brycer"

I tried one before. Fun for rp in buildings or just wandering through forests but in dangerous situations it provides too much of a disadvantage to be useful.

I've never even heard of such a mod (until now!)
Anywhere to download it?

I think that first person mode mods are excellent if you want to view the game from a first-person perspective, and I think they are pretty easy to install.
