A new mod for Baldur's Gate 3 has emerged, giving fans a compelling reason to start another playthrough. Published by Nexus Mods user Relysia on July 20, the 'True Third-Person Camera' mod swaps the classic top-down perspective for an over-the-shoulder view, reminiscent of games like Dragon Age or The Witcher 3.
Mod Features and Reception
In the 10 days since its release, the mod has garnered over 10,000 unique downloads. It offers a dynamic field of view while running, smooth transitions when crouching, and adapts to the height of each character. Players can customize the experience through a full settings menu.
A video showcasing the mod on Relysia's YouTube channel has amassed over 148,000 views. Comments have been overwhelmingly positive, with one user noting: 'It's so cool that the game is so detailed that it works as a 3rd person game.' Another added: 'This just might be the mod to get me to play through this again.' A third wrote: 'Such an amazing mod, I love this one. Instant permanent addition to my list. Me and my friend are starting a new playthrough just because of how much this changes the game.'
Availability
Unfortunately, the mod is only available for PC players, as the Xbox and PlayStation versions cannot be modded. However, for those with a capable PC, the third-person mod offers a fresh way to experience Larian's award-winning RPG.
