📋 About This Mod
FPS (First Person Slayer), up close and personal, keep your distance? All of the above! Active Witcher Zoom allows you to dynamically zoom the camera closer to or further from Geralt...while you are playing!
Instead of modding either nearer or further fixed distances, this mod allows you to change the distance as you play, adapting the camera to best fit the current situation and environment.
The camera distance can be adjusted while indoors or outdoors, as well as while on foot, horseback, or boat. Zooming out while indoors eliminates that cramped, claustrophobic feeling of the default interior camera.
This mod pertains solely to the camera distance relative to Geralt during gameplay. This is NOT the same as the free cam available through the console debugger, which is fantastic, but it is still great for cinematics. B3yQGzczh0o Version 6 is nearly a complete rebuild of the mod that includes several improvements and new features.
