Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Camera Controls

Firstly I want to say how much I am LOVING this game. I love the way it so wonderfully emulates D&D 5th edition. I love the amazing amount of content to be found so far.. I am on my 4th playthrough and am still finding things.. major things! I did not find before. Great work! I am definitely recommending the game to my friends.
I have only one real issue: camera controls. They are rather clunky and limited. For example it would really be nice to be able to look up! And I do not mean pressing O so I can look down from a higher vantage, but simply looking up! Like any person should be able to do. I hope this can be changed.. it would really make the game so much better! A lot more immersive.

Really wanting this as well.

Yes, yes, and yes... I need to be able to look up to see an ambush (like the first goblin ambush we encounter). Not have to scroll the view all around to find them.

While I do agree with this, I would like to stress, that we need a simple and easy way to change camera elevation much more urgently right now. This is especially problematic, if there is a walkable surface above your characters, like in Dror Ragzlin's throne room. If you are on the ground and want to use misty step to get up to the wooden beams above, you can't because the game fades them out and you have nowhere to click.

Being able to turn up the camera would be nice to have and I certainly won't complain if we do get it, but that other thing is more important imho, since this currently restricts the way in which you can use the spells and abilities available for the player. The AI doesn't have that issue of course.

Agreed.
