In honour of Weird West's upcoming mod tools: post-release I spent some time mocking up a first-person mode. Janky and uncomfortable, but cool! were kind enough to let me share it.
This is just unsanctioned buffoonery on my part; don't expect an official FP mode!

A surprising amount of stuff works just fine after a few hours of wrangling (which is what this is), but perf in towns is pretty bad, since a ton of stuff that's culled out normally suddenly isn't. I did only ever try this in-editor, though.

If I were to try to unjank it a bit, I'd probably unstick the camera from the character's face, hiding the character (but keeping the vid behaviour for cutscenes) and make a bunch of changes to the movement.

Visually it's striking how well it holds up, and this is with the crunched-down versions of the textures that the game ships with - they were mostly authored at 4k or 8k, it looked amazing before we lodded it down. From the regular camera angle, literally zero difference though
