Widens the field of view to 90 degrees.
Overview
Changes the field of view, the angle of vision the camera renders. The default is roughly 65 to 75; raising it widens the view for a more peripheral perspective, while lowering it zooms in. Very high values can distort first-person weapons. The setting may reset after loading a save, so reapply it if needed.
