Camera Modifications

I'd be nice to have the ability to modify the camera of the player. Change it's position, remove the lock-on feature (so it no longer follows the player around), change the PoV, allow it to focus on the player, so it changes it rotation based on where the player is.

Just some ideas. There's a lot of potential there!

    Would also appreciate the ability to change the roll of the camera, and also force first / third person.

    Sometimes I'd just like to play the game in third person, but at the moment the camera doesn't allow an enjoyable third person gameplay experience. For this reason I support your idea.

    I absolutely agree, as for now the third view is neither practical or cinematic. Its fixed position and that it has the same mechanics as the first view makes it clunky and annoying.

    If I were to fix the third view angle, it would behave similar to any other third person open world game: the WASD keys tells the character which direction to go, but the viewing angle stay, that is controlled by the mouse. The character will of course do action whereever the mouse is directed.

    I'm not saying this would guaranteed work in action, but I believe that on paper it could work much better than the current third view.

    Why do we need a better third person view? For a more cinematic exporation/ adventuring experience.

    Maybe even overlays with color or something!

    This button that changes the perspective of the camera should be on the right side of the screen, Right next to the menu button on the playing screen, or maybe next the scroll bar, because changing the perspective from the  video settings menú is ridículous. Oh but we have a dancing button in exchange...

    Also while playing in third person view you should force first person view when using any ranged item like bow, crossbow, spyglass, trident, egg, etc. Force first-person view when in small or tight places if the player's image fills the screen, or blurs the player to see through.

    This Will give a really better game experience, but continúe adding decoration  things...
