When changing from 3rd person to 1st person, your character's orientation will always be south. I can't imagine this being a feature, so I'm giving feedback as if it's a bug. I'll be moving North, East, or West and I usually switch between perspectives to help see more while I'm exploring. As soon as I switch back to first person, my character is always facing south. Doesn't matter if I'm riding a horse or on a boat, it will do an instant U-turn. It would be great if this is fixed - it really gets disorienting. Thank you.
