Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 via mouse and keyboard is very much an isometric RPG, complete with a zoomed out, birds-eye view of the action and players moving characters via clicks of the mouse. But what if that weren’t the case?
Thanks to modders, Larian Studio’s hit RPG can be transformed to feel more akin to something like BioWare’s Dragon Age: Origins or CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher 3, complete with a more zoomed in, third-person camera and WASD movement controls.
As highlighted by PC Gamer, the WASD Character Movement mod from Ch4nKyy and the Native Camera Tweaks mod by Ershin combined change Baldur’s Gate 3 into what feels like a completely different game. With Native Camera Tweaks installed, players can choose to zoom in for a more traditional third-person perspective while running around the world of Baldur’s Gate 3 and interacting with its various inhabitants. This way, they can notice all the little details that are almost impossible to notice from the game’s default camera angle. Even better, players always have the option to zoom back out to a more isometric view as they see fit, like in combat.
