There are a lot of scenic places in this game, and a lot of potential for screenshots. Could we please get a feature like other games (ffxiv has it) where you can assign a key for “Face Camera”

Not your whole body, just turn your heads towards the camera. I know this might be a minor thing, but for some screenshots, it would be nice where i could have my character looking over her shoulder, or that sideways look that seems to just say “heroic”

It should also lock the position after using the keybind so that you can move the camera again without it changing. Pressing the keybind a second time would return the head to the normal position.

The head already turns depending on your camera angle, but it is always facing away so the coding is already there for the turning of the head, i just would like a way to control it now.

For your first point try:

Bind “Look behind” to key, hold key and move camera. Toon looks now in the camera.

That might help a little bit.

Additional: Select NPC or something else to lock the head position while moving the camera.

Hmm a person that has to keep looking over their shoulder is heroic? O_o

That is certainly a first.

Thank you, that worked. Would never thought of that without someone pointing it out.

Edit: For some weapons drawn like Hammer it works, but for others like shield/sword it does not. Small annoyance that I can live with just in case anyone else was wondering. Works all the time when weapons are sheathed.
Would still be nice to be able to lock the position without selecting a target so that the camera can be moved.

Basic photography 101. Always turn your subjects head for more of a dramatic pose
