U-E0rEOrsag
"A cinematic showcase of First Person Souls. Includes 3rd party mods, mod list in the description."
Under the simple premise of "first person Dark Souls" hides a complex reimagining of many movement and camera mechanics, changing gameplay at its core. Enhanced with head tracking, you get to appreciate the detailed work of FROMSOFTWARE's animator team up close, as well as the beauty of the game's visual effects and spells.
The mod includes custom configuration options in Dark Souls 3's own settings menu. Keep in mind, the Camera speed setting for controller has been joined with Mouse sensitivity under Input device, in a single setting called Sensitivity.
(Additional menu options are only available in the English localization of the game, see "Frequently Asked Questions")
As a standalone, single file .dll mod, two of the aims of FPS are compatibility with many other mods and game versions (see "compatibility") and ease of installation (see "installation"). Powered by C++ and a custom SIMD vector library (requires a CPU with SSE 4. 1 support), the mod should have no impact on performance. It is completely open source and licensed under MIT. Consult the FAQ for questions about safety of online play and bans.
