Pitch adjustment works in a seamless way exactly as you'd expect it to work. Move the mouse while holding the middle mouse button, or move the controller stick up/down.
You can configure the values by editing the BG3NativeCameraTweaks.toml file with a text editor. The provided defaults are what I believe are sane values, but feel free to change them as you see fit.
Tactical Camera mode, with its low FOV, gives out pretty cool classic vibes with adjusted pitch.CONTROLLER SUPPORT:
In vanilla, moving the controller right stick up and down controls the camera zoom. That's now replaced with camera pitch adjustment. The original functionality is available while the left stick is pressed down.
I've also included a deadzone tweak for the right stick because the default one is extremely strong (0. 65!). A smaller deadzone feels smoother and less rigid.
REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION:
Have the game updated to the most recent version.
Install Native Mod Loader.
Place NativeCameraTweaks.dll and NativeCameraTweaks.toml inside Baldurs Gate 3\bin\NativeMods\.
SUGGESTED MODS:
WASD Character Movement
The two mods work very well together and transform the gameplay into something reminiscent of Dragon Age: Origins. I personally love this.
pavelk's various improved UI mods with autohide functionality, or Aether's Immersive UI
For contextually hiding the HUD that tends to be blocking the view while walking around.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 30,324 endorsements and 2.3M downloads.
- Open source means you can see exactly what it does and even tweak it yourself.
- No separate executables – just a plugin, so it's lightweight and integrates cleanly.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires a mod manager or manual install into the game folder – not a simple drop-in.
- Configurability might be overwhelming if you just want a quick fix.
- Last updated September 2025 – could break with future game patches.
For Starfield players who want more control over the camera, especially those who find the default pitch limits annoying or want to adjust controller deadzone for better aiming. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla camera and don't need extra tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage the plugin easily.
- Check the mod's config file to adjust settings to your preference – you can set custom pitch limits and deadzone values.
- If you're on Game Pass, make sure to follow the correct install path for your version.
