This mode is an overhaul of world display mechanics. The goal is to give more control and make it more productive. It defines two views: 'Character' and 'Remote'. One may switch between them and toggle their internal view modes with separate bindings.
Providing the player with new tools or adjusting the game interface, without fundamentally changing gameplay.
