Tons of people on Steam, Reddit and Discord are asking if this game has first person.
Yes it does.

 I was excited to make this discovery and wanted to share with others as I have seen may people on Reddit, Steam and the Nexus asking for a First Person view in this game.
It is very rudimentary, there are clipping issues and there is view bobbing but its is accessible and you can toggle between Third Person and First person view modes with a key bind. It is the same first person camera the game switches to when you go inside certain player made building interiors.

This mod enables the use of the V key to toggle views.

The Camera view or "PointOfView" Keybind mapping is not set nor is it accessible by default in this current Early Access release of Bellwright for various possible valid reasons. Rebinding the point of view does not show up as a key in the Controls section of the Options menu at this time in Bellwright, so I have spent some time discovering a simple set of solutions for those that want an immersive first person experience in Bellwright now.

  • I have included both a file that contains the First Person mode keybinds enabled by default with a minor rebind of the "X" key from PushToTalk
  • I have included my own custom version of the ENGINE.ini and GameUserSEttings.ini with an array of Keybind changes and Graphics Tweaks.

Additionally Players may maunally add the keybind for a First Person view toggle by adding some lines to the GameUserSettings.ini found in 

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Bellwright\Saved\Config\Windows

NOTE: The "Administrator" portion of the file name path may vary for each user. It may be different for you.

BACK UP YOUR ENGINE.INI and GAMEUSERSETTINGS.INI files before installing.


    INSTALL:

    Option 1:
    Download the edited default .ini files included here by me.
    Place the incled Bellwright folder in your Appdata directory.
    Ovewrite any files if asked.

    Option 2:
    Place the following lines of code at the end of the GameUserSettings.ini yourself:

    These lines of bindings simply remove the PushToTalk binding and replace it with the PointOfView binding on the V key
    You can change "Key=V" to whatever you want.


Here is how players can get a keybind to toggle between a Third Person over the shoulder camera and a First Person camera in Bellwright.
This method re-binds the "PushToTalk" and "PointOfView" keys in order to gain functionality of the V key for toggling the cameras.

  • Open up the GameUserSettings.ini found in 
    C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Bellwright\Saved\Config\Windows
  • Paste the following lines of code at the bottom of the file (below the "[ScalabilityGroups]"  block):

[/Script/Mist.MistUserInputSettings]
ActionBindings=(Name="PushToTalk",Mapping=(ActionName="PushToTalk",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=None),AlternativeMapping=(ActionName="",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=None),bModified=True)
ActionBindings=(Name="PointOfView",Mapping=(ActionName="PointOfView",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=V),AlternativeMapping=(ActionName="",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=None),bModified=True)

  • Save the GameUserSettings.ini
  • Launch Bellwright and when in-game press the V Key in order to toggle the view between Third Person and First person.

  • After launching your game and changing any setting the GameUSerSettings.ini file will be populated more variables after your new lines, you may change these in-game throug the settings, or futher edit the GameUserSettings.ini if you wish.


UNINSTALL :


    Delete your GameUserSettings.ini and re launch Bellwright
    or
    Delete the Engine.ini and GameUserSettings.ini you downloaded from here.
    or
    Simply remove the two lines of Action Binding code I included above from your GameUserSettings.ini


This is just one example of how the GameUserSettings.ini file and other .ini files can to aide in modding of Bellwright and Unreal Engine titles.


For some the option to play in first person will make or break their choice to buy and play this game, and I am sure the developers are well aware of that.

I hope the developers will officially put the key bind in the User interface of the game soon or implement a "proper" First Person view mode with specially made high resolution first person view models and animations.

Until then enjoy this simple First Person view mode tweak!


ADDITIONAL NOTES:
At the time of wirting/publishing this Bellwright is in Early Access version v 0.0.36175 (36175)

I recomend using the max FOV of 110 when using this mod

Head or view bobbing is prevealent while using First Person

The player's head will often clip into the camera while using bows/archery.
