🎮 Someone gave Baldur's Gate 3 an over-the-shoulder camera — and the internet chose sides

Modder Relysia dropped True Third-Person Camera on Nexus Mods this month: over-the-shoulder view, dynamic FOV, smooth transitions — Faerûn suddenly feels like The Witcher. A showcase video hit 3.9 million views in days, per IGN.

Critics say the camera isn't cosmetic — it's structural, and BG3's levels were never built for it. The other side: nobody's touching turn-based combat or click-to-move, just make it an opt-in toggle.

Larian signalled at a recent Divinity AMA that free camera won't be in the next game. Hard to hold that line when 3.9 million people just watched someone stroll through Baldur's Gate like it's Novigrad.
