Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Anyone else interested in a photo mode?

Personally, I really enjoy messing around with a good photo mode in certain games, particularly games with deep customisation and interesting settings like BG3.

Anybody else feel like this would be a nice addition to BG3?

Any chance Larian might add one in a patch or update post release?

Im going to have to google this, never heard of it. Not surprising as I'm a old dude, and not main stream.

@Doomlord Oh right. It basically just lets you pause the game at any time and move the camera independently, add effects and filters, sometimes poses and facial expressions.

Lots of games have them these days The Witcher 3 is a great game to use it in, Cyberpunk, Horizon Zero Dawn, Street Fighter 6, many others.

Nah. I don't like to roleplay that I am tourist.

Sure. I like capturing the memorable moments of my favorite characters.

Yup, would love to have one because the environment and characters are gorgeous ^^

I don't see why not, I never used those in games before, but BG3 made me start to screenshot the hell out of it so it might prove to be useful

Hmm, well hopefully someone at Larian likes the idea and they implement it.

I'll be on PS5 so can't rely on mods for it. Will just have to hope for the best.

C'mon, don't tell me that a Forgotten Realms tourist to the Sword Coast that accidentally gets picked up by Mindflayers but is determined to have as nice a vacation as possible despite all difficulties wouldn't be a fun character.

Ooooh yes would love having a proper photo of my party rather than a top-down screenshot making my characters look like chess pieces. Bonus points if they let us access photo mode during combat. I imagine we'd be able to get some amazing action shots.

I don't want it for me, but I want it for you.

Photomode would be great.

Actually, now that you mention it we could do a "Colour of Magic" play through and make a character named "Twoflower"

Ok, ok..now I am on board! Ha!

For Sir Terry Pratchett!

Any more love for photo mode?

Kind of hoping Larian may see this if people are interested and consider implementing it (I realise it is unlikely).

I was wondering why this isnt a thing. The best screenshot moments happen during cinematics and I don't think you can turn the text options off.

@DumbleDorf Yes it seems like the perfect game for one. It's not uncommon for developers to add it in as a feature after launch as an update so I'm still hopeful.

Yes !

Photomode is a great way to dive deeper into your journey.

As the ability to walk haha (go send love here ! https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=875126#Post875126)

Absolutely, I posted my own thread about it, didn't find this one in a search!

In the short term, it would be nice just to have a quick screenshot key that hides the UI, takes a screenshot, then returns the UI, because as useful as it is the UI absolutely ruins screenshots; it's a pretty game, let me share that with people!

But yeah, long term a photo mode would be great; even if it's just frozen time with a free camera at first this would still be a major improvement, then later let me (and co-op friends) pose characters for a perfect shot.
