Spyglass

[Chebermech]

been recording some videos recently, and thought it would be great to have a tool that would allow you to look from a perspective other than your character's. there's already a troll's eye, but it requires a container to be in as well as have a 2nd one to look into, that might not always show you the right destination you'd like to see...

anyways, having a Spyglass that you could either equip or just click from inventory to look into, and then click anywhere in your sight range, or have a max distance which would then centre your camera around that tile would be amazing for both video recording purposes as well as have some in game practical use! maybe even allowing your character to keep that camera distance while being moved by someone else if you are a passenger on a wagon or a boat / knarr. reset to normal camera as soon as you left or right click.

would also allow you to finally spy on your neighbors...

Interesting suggestion.
Would be cool for sure.
I'd like to see some discussion on potential abuses and solutions to those abuses.

Making somewhat good spy glasses is not easy/simple. You have to get the lenses (and possibly mirrors) just the right shape and position for the picture to look crisp and clear while still zooming the thing that you are looking towards.

actually having a troll's eye for the recipe is a good idea, also don't forget about hardened leather and glue!
