Billed as a &#8220;true third-person camera,&#8221; this new mod seeks to add flavor to the game in the form of an over-the-shoulder viewpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an overview from its creator: <em>&#8220;This mod is an enhanced version of Native Camera Tweaks by Ersh. It retains all features of the original mod while adding a dedicated toggle to switch to a modern, over-the-shoulder third-person camera view where the camera stays closely attached to your character. In this over-the-shoulder mode, the camera stays at a fixed distance to keep the close perspective. During gameplay actions, such as spell targeting, jumping, or inspecting the camera temporarily switches back to the normal view and automatically returns to over-the-shoulder mode once finished.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In other words, while you might recall a previous third-person mod existing in the time since <em>Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3<\/em> was released, this is a more refined edition. To use the mod, you&#8217;ll need to press Y on Xbox or Triangle on PlayStation to change between the classic view and the over-the-shoulder view. On a keyboard, you&#8217;ll hit the numpad * (above the 9 digit).<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/baldurs-gate-3-making-friends_2.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/baldurs-gate-3-making-friends_2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/baldurs-gate-3-making-friends_2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/baldurs-gate-3-making-friends_2.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/baldurs-gate-3-making-friends_2.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=1\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/baldurs-gate-3-making-friends_2.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/baldurs-gate-3-making-friends_2.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=1\"\/><img width=\"825\" height=\"464\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Baldurs Gate 3 Gameplay -  Using friends spell in dialogues\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/baldurs-gate-3-making-friends_2.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=1\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/baldurs-gate-3-making-friends_2.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=1\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">Baldurs Gate 3 Gameplay &#8211; \u00a0Using friends spell in dialogues<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The idea is to add a more &#8220;immersive&#8221; view of the action, with dynamic FOV available to smooth out the animations. You&#8217;ll also have automatic camera adjustments when moving from a crouching to a standing position, and your avatar&#8217;s height even factors into the mod&#8217;s calculations. It&#8217;s evidently &#8220;best experienced&#8221; with a controller, but you can also use a keyboard and mouse.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a <strong><em>Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3<\/em><\/strong> fan, you don&#8217;t need a lot of convincing to get yet another replay going. A completely new dynamic camera angle is definitely the excuse I needed, so I&#8217;ll have to boot this one up alongside some other recent advancements in the modding community. Like so many other games before it, modders are really going above and beyond for this modern classic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card type-video-game large\" data-show-streamrentbuy-links=\"true\"
