My apologies for asking in this forum, I don't own the game yet and I'd like to ask a question which probably anyone who plays can answer.

First things first, of this game series, I've only tried the free to play "Beyond New Horizons" from the "Pirates Ahoy!" community, and all the things about it being clumsy are true indeed... And yet I like it. It's very simiilar to Mount & Blade and Port Royal, my favourites.

However, I really can't play games that are 3rd person only.

No, I'm not drunk, I know that all the games of the series do have a first person option accessible via the TAB key, but, at least in Beyond New Horizons, it has a great issue for me: its FOV is way too strict (and I use a simple 1920x1080 resolution, so I don't have any bug linked to ultra wide monitors, as supposedly might happen for some users).

Basically, while I can play in third person, I feel the need to spend some time as well in first person, possibly with a very wide angle of view (sometimes, with certain games, I reached 105°, but my usual spot is 90°), this to overcome motion sickness linked to a sense of claustrophobia (the wider the FOV, the smaller the things appear in the screen, and the bigger it looks the space where the player character finds himself into in that moment).

Unfortunately, it seems that only the "Maelstrom Engine" does feature a FOV slider, and I haven't even found out how much wide it can be set, but any other older title based on the Storm engine does have an hard coded limitation in this regard.

I've only heard in these forums about ini edits but nothing updated or that seemed to have been confirmed.

So, before spending about 50 Euros and loosing my rights to refund by spending too much time at trying to make tests with the game and its configuration, I'd really like to know if there's a confirmed option to change FOV in first person, or if one of the ini edits proposed around the forums works.

Thanks in advance.
