Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't lack fans, but if you don't like its movement and fights, perhaps a first-person perspective will be your cup of tea.
YouTuber Proxy Gate Tactician demonstrated that getting fireballs in your face is as fun as the traditional BG3 experience. To look his enemies right in their treacherous eyes, he used some mods (naturally), which you can get to recreate the experiment.
Here are the mods Proxy Gate Tactician calls essential:
- Norbyte's Baldur's Gate 3 Script Extender
- Native Mod Loader
- Native Camera Tweaks
- WASD Character Movement
- Remove Camera Move
- Choose your size (the "choose your size underwear slot" version in his case.
To repeat Proxy Gate Tactician's feat, you will need to tweak some parameters, which he supplied in the description under his video.
But I'm sure you're wondering: is it even possible to beat Baldur's Gate 3 in the first-person mode? While there were some limitations, like the inability to jump high or difficulties with controlling other characters (so he decided to go solo), Proxy Gate Tactician did complete the game.
Perhaps the most valuable element of this whole adventure is the new angles you can look at BG3 from. "I know this battlefield like the back of my hand, but in this, it's kind of like the back of your ass. For sure, you've seen it, but you wouldn't be able to navigate it like a pro."

If you think you're ready for the challenge, download the mods above and begin your own story, in the first-person perspective this time.
Before this run, Proxy Gate Tactician completed BG3 as a cat and found some cool secrets "no normal person would ever come across," so I expect to see even crazier ideas from the creator in the future.
