Wonders of the free-look cam. . .
   

I have just recently discovered the wonders of the free-look camera. I access it buy entering Marvin Mode and pressing F6. My problem is that when I want to get back into the behind-the-back character view (default camera), I can't. I tried pressing F6 again, but to no avail. I can still control my character, but it's a pain moving him, then the camera, then him, and so forth. Does anyone no how to revert the camera to its default mode?

Nope. But try to disable the cheats (you know, the 42 command ) and see if that will pop the camera back to original spot or no. If not, then I have no idea, you gotta check for Marvin commands somewhere..

Well, I checked the stuff on GothicDot, but there's nothing there about reverting the camera, so I guess I'll just have to wait, and hopefully the answer will come.

Hey there MageofFire,

I only just noticed this thread, Dont you worry about the camera, there are many things you can do.

1. Press F6, this is the camera view, but also not greatly realised, it is the player position "viewpoint".

2. Press F4 gets you back to default viewpoint.

3. Press F5 freezes the camera viwpoint but can still see hero moving.

4. After F6 move the viewpoint "anywhere" in the game, (yes anywhere!)
then in marvin, enter gc (goto camera) who-ever is "possessed" can be
moved this way, then press enter, then zoom back a little, then press
F8 to jump free, then of course, press F4 back to default, and you will
be in the "new" spot.
