Having the camera zoomed in WAY too much (low field of view),
is in my honest opinion one of the game's greatest faults.

Which was probably done to cover up the low draw distance (that's why there's graphical pop-in),
they had planned to fix the camera & add a few options to it, but the developers went bankrupt.

However, do not worry nor fret! There is a method with which you can "fix" the camera.
And you could "upgrade" Amalur's graphics while you're at it, after all.. it makes it look better!

Default Camera:

Modded Camera:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Step 1
Download Widescreen Fixer (click on "WidescreenFixer-r737.7z" below Assets):
https://github.com/dlrudie/WidescreenFixer/releases/tag/Original

• Step 2
Place it anywhere you like & unzip the .RAR file using WinRAR or any other such application.

• Step 3
Start the program (in the unzipped folder), select Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning from the list.

• Step 4
Select the icon (cogwheel) next to the game & use the settings shown in the image:



• Step 5
Press the buttons "Save Settings" & then "Close Window".
(But keep the application running, otherwise it won't work!)

• Step 6
Launch the game & load your save.

• Step 7
Keep holding W to move forward, then press * (multiply/asterisk).
(If the button does not work, go to the Widescreen Fixer settings & look at the 'Hotkey',
click at "Multiply", then choose any button that you want to activate the application with)

• Issues & Problems
- Using these settings causes the character in the menu screen to be zoomed in a bit as well,
however it's not too much of a problem - it only hides the top of the head somewhat.

- The camera resetting/zooming in too much: Whilst walking forward press the * button again,
and the camera should have switched to the settings that you chose in the program itself.
(You may have to press the button a few times whilst walking to make it go to the right position)

• EDITING THE CAMERA POSITION YOURSELF
Editing the position yourself is a bit tricky, as you'd need to use my settings & work from there,
since this application is a bit buggy & the "Field-of-View" slider does NOT work as it should.

Editing the first resolution number, 8850, determines how close the camera/FOV is.
So if I would put in 8000, it would zoom OUT, if I would put in 9500, it would zoom IN.
(You can edit the values while the game is running & applying the new settings by pressing *)

This is how you edit the "Field-of-View" yourself (camera distance/field of view).

If you'd like to enhance how the game looks, I can assist you with that too!

There are some comparison screenshots at the bottom of this section.
(Comparing the mod in-game does it way more justice, rather than just looking at the images)

In my opinion, my (SweetFX) mod doesn't do anything too weird to upset the graphical balance,
but it simply enhances the colours & makes things look a bit more sharp/mystic/adult than usual.

It also reduces the cartoon-ish undertone that the game tends to have in most locations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Step 1
Download my SweetFX mod.
(Press the downwards pointing arrow button at the top right to start the download)

• Step 2
Place it anywhere you like & unzip the .RAR file using WinRAR or any other such application.

• Step 3
Go into the folder that was unzipped, in which you should see 3 files & 1 folder - copy/cut it all.

• Step 4
Place the copied/cut files into the game's installation directory, which for me is:
C:\Steam\steamapps\common\KOAReckoning

And you're done! The SweetFX graphical mod is now installed & ready to be used!

Comparisons (the top image uses default graphics, the image below it uses the graphics mod. It's better to compare the images in their full 1920x1080 resolution size via your internet browser):
