Now Starfield’s May update is out in the wild in beta form on Steam, players are getting to grips with all the new features, including the detailed maps, ship interior customization, and more.
But there’s one change that flew under the radar when it was announced but is now picking up plaudits: the ability to toggle the default dialogue camera off.Bethesda games are known for the way the camera crash zoom’s onto an NPC’s face when the player triggers dialog.
Anyone who’s played the likes of Skyrim or Fallout will know how this often results in hilarious and sometimes quite unnerving sequences in which NPCs will stare at you unendingly.
While Fallout 4 did away with this by keeping the camera pulled back for chats with NPCs, Starfield returned to the Bethesda NPC zoom of old.Following Starfield’s release, modders took it upon themselves to disable the dialogue camera, forcing a third-person camera alongside player movement.
Now, Starfield officially lets players toggle the dialogue camera off, meaning you now can watch scenes play out from your chosen perspective.Reaction to this toggle has been positive, as it has been to the new detailed maps.
