Press V or the left directional button (Gamepad) to toggle between 1st and 3rd person. If you rebind the X axis option for tools then it changes to whatever that is.
Scroll in/out to zoom in/out. There are options in settings to change the default zoom (useful when on controller since you can't scroll).
There are a few settings in the options menu:
- Keep free look angle: You can freelook around your character while holding alt or the downward direction button (Gamepad). Toggling this option keeps the camera at that angle when you let go.
- Use 3rd person by default: Determines if you start the game in 1st or 3rd person.
To make your own camera mods you should use Common Camera Utility just like this mod does.
Uses free controller and keyboard prompts from Xelu, just like stock Outer Wilds.
