Photo Mode Limitations:
Currently, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode offers limited functionality compared to more advanced systems. While you can freely position the camera, features like character posing, color grading, time of day adjustments, or character placement are absent. Future updates may expand these capabilities.
Despite its current limitations, the inclusion of a photo mode is appreciated, and hopefully, Warhorse Studios will add more features in subsequent patches.
