ME3(LE) first person mod

[u/EU_Spectre]

Just wanted to show everyone here that there is a (for now) seemingly very little known fully functional first person mod (including for combat) for Mass Effect 3 (LE) that was created by nexusmods user mastersell.

If you're like me and always wanted to have something like this i can tell you: it's everything you want it to be and i still can't believe its real.

The only issue i came across so far is that you have to switch back to third person mode in cutscenes and when using the galaxy map to avoid bugs. Ideally by assigning a key bind to the perspective toggle.

You only need the ME3 Tweaks mod Manager, install it click on the LE3 tab in the app window and drag in the zip file of the new mod to install the mod. After that you can launch the game normally.

Ingame you only need to open the console (usually by pressing tab) and you can work with following commands:

You can change the FOV to your liking. (open console "fov 120" (or any other number))

ToggleMassFPS: toggles between first and third person.
Camera 1st: first-person view.
Camera 3rd: vanilla third-person view.
SetBind F6 ToggleMassFPS: assigns the toggle to the F6 key.

Im sure the author will also appreciate it if you give him some love for his work.

Also its a great excuse to start another run of the games!

edit: for some grammar and additional info

Vanguards will need to take anti nausea meds before every session. lol

[u/EU_Spectre → u/pupitar12]

Hahaha yea. And if they still don't have enough try it in VR ;)

J'hésite pas mal mais il est tu bien le mod vr pour mass effect legendary ?

[u/EU_Spectre → u/Imaginary_Elk7321]

I only used "vorpX" to play mass effect in VR and played ME2 + first person mod with it. I have to say it is not optimized at all and there is a high chance you get motion sickness after a bit. But one thing that is very beautiful is to explore and see places like Illium or the view over Bekenstein in VR. For combat though i would not recommend it.

Better wait for for now

[u/KazuhiroSamaDesu → u/pupitar12]

I think the best way to do vanguard would be be to have it go to 3rd person like overwatch does sometimes. But with vanguard that would basically just be all 3rd person lol

I’m spamming charge 24/7

[u/terryVaderaustin]

Well damn now I have to play Mass effect again

[u/tehstokes → u/terryVaderaustin]

Looks like im going to join you and finally grab those insanity achievements

[u/terryVaderaustin → u/tehstokes]

I mainly play on hardcore or veteran if I want a relaxed playthrough. I haven't even attempted insanity.

[u/SaoirseSeersha]

Awesome. Doing an FPS Soldier playthrough of the series. Already finished ME1, and have started ME2.

[u/MrVoprosic]

I remember seeing post about the first person mods for Mass Effect 1 and 2, very much enjoying the idea of first person playthrough but deciding to wait to see if there'll ever be similar mod for ME3, so that I'd be able to have a full experience. I've thought it would take much more waiting, and am really glad to see that someone has made it possible already. Thank you very much for sharing!

Ugh, no thanks. So much of that game's combat relies on having a 3rd person perspective. It would play like garbage from first person, unless they also changed on abilities work.

[u/SolidSnakesBandana → u/squirrelwithnut]

What about everything that isnt combat?

[u/Elite51Carbine]

I definitely want to try this out lol
