Hey, all. We've moved this post from the Support section to the General Discussion section. Thanks for your continued feedback!

Moved it because you are ignoring it.

And will not 'fix' or change it.

This is not a design flaw. It has been used in many other games and some might even prefer it over the traditional center-view.

Having the camera default to one option is not a design flaw, but not having a toggle for it is. If others do it too, it becomes a common design flaw.

Actually, I think games these days suffer from far too few options when it comes to these things.

Indeed. Let us center, zoom in/out further, and adjust its height.

Or perhaps they are gathering feedback? My feedback:
1 - option to disable the offcenter effect completely
2 - allow the modders to make an addon
3 - reduce the amount of offcenter*

*the main annoyance I think is the amount of offcenter. I have played other games where it is done where this zooming effect is used but the amount offcenter is very small. The amount in ESO is absolutely huge!

Screens to illustrate my point, in order they are mouse zoomed out at steps 1, 5 and 12. I don't think it looks right until you are around step 12. Also notice I closed the chat window in 1, perhaps I should have left it opened. Does anyone play with the chat window at less than max size?







After uploading the screens I decided there is a 4 LOL
4 - a slider from 0 (none) to current percentage

i`m happy with the current camera angle in third person.

If any changes are made , please make it optional.

Thanks

I agree that the camera is way far off. You can't even zoom in on your character like this, because the character looks stretched out when staying that far off screen.

And if you try, you can't even take propper screenshots of your character with these settings. Zenimax, please listen to us, and make a optional setting that let us change this!

Thanks.

The camera should have 3 presets, Left Shoulder, Centered, and Right Shoulder, zoomable in all three cases. Then people can pick and choose what they want.

Quit necroing threads with dev action that's nothing but "we moved this". Made me think there was finally some official word on this.

Nothings changed so this is still a relevant discussion. We don't need to start a new thread for something that is still relevant.

My post. You didn't read it.

How about the option calibrate camera angle/offset, targeting reticle hit-area, and 'center' per user preference?

This would cover first person and third person players alike. Alternate controls (zoom in/out/freelook) could then adjust on the fly as needed.

No two people sight in the same.

Here's some feedback for you... SMACK whoever the "genius" was who thought the off center camera was a grand idea. I HATE trying to get decent screenshots in this damn game because of this! Makes it almost impossible! Seriously, WHAT were you people thinking? Fix it!

Attorneyatlawl

Saw some API function stubs yet no implementation or official game options still for distance, zoom, or camera height or horizontal offset all this time later.... what is going on here??

Gillysan

Stab my eyes out with a fork, I don't need another UI. ZOS just implement a slider in the Camera settings.

Promise

just picked this game up and when I realized it had this same failing as the other oblivion games but this time with no option to fix it (bringing the camera in closer to the shoulder without zooming out) I googled to see if there is a work around.

So I guess this is one of the player features that I saw people complaining about getting "blown off" by the Dev's? Pitty. I would of liked the option to move the camera closer.

Steyn

I'm guessing there's still no word on this. *sigh* Can only hope they sneak it in in the next update.

Come on devs, give us an option to center that camera in third person close up!

Khaldar

I believe they talked about it in ESO live. It is something they are working on.

kimboh

1.6 includes new position sliders for third person in the camera settings.

NewBlacksmurf

Some want it, some don't, some don't care.

It's a safe bet that adding in an option in game settings would satisfy everyone.
I guess this is as important to many as First person pov.

HUZZAH! I can't wait to see how they actually work!

They are quite good, with decent range for Vertical/horizontal and also increased max zoom distance.

HUZZAH!!!

One things for sure, having the model to the side makes for bad screenshots of your character

This, so much this.

I don't have any screenshots of my characters because they look ... odd ... to the side. I don't like how they look.

I changed it in Skyrim because I didn't like it.

Someone even made a mod for it for those that don't like tweaking files and it had 16405 downloads.
