Understanding the Camera Options in Avowed
Avowed has introduced a fascinating mechanic that allows players to toggle between first and third person perspectives seamlessly. Contrary to initial impressions, where it seemed that the choice was permanent, players can switch views just like in popular RPGs such as Fallout or The Elder Scrolls.
Toggling Made Easy
In the preview build experienced by PC Gamer’s senior editors, the camera toggle was initially only accessible through the menu. Players were required to pause their game, dive into the accessibility settings, and adjust the toggle whenever they wished to switch perspectives. This approach suggested that the toggling function was more of an accessibility feature for players who experience motion sickness—an option for those looking to enjoy Avowed comfortably.
A Hotkey for Quick Access
Interestingly, the final release has implemented a much smoother operation for camera toggling. While defaulting to the “u” key, players can customize this feature further. Assigning it to a thumb button on a mouse can indeed make the toggle even more accessible. After all, who wouldn’t prefer a quick switch from first to third person without rummaging through settings?
In summary, Avowed exceeds expectations by allowing players ultimate flexibility in switching camera perspectives. A feature that evoked some concern has now become a streamlined feature—enhancing the gameplay experience for a diverse audience.
