Close the game and find this folder.

....\Cryptic Studios\Neverwinter\Live\Localdata

Find file: Gameprefs.Pref

Open the file with Notepad++

Find this line: PrefEntry GfxSettings.DefaultFov

Change the numerical value to something higher. (Default should be 55, wouldn't really go higher than 90ish)

I run mine at 70, which feels comfortable for me: http://i.imgur.com/Qufq0I8.jpg
Here is an example from reddit, someone running at 90: http://i.imgur.com/qUkN51d.jpg

"ProTip: to get the game to recognize the new FoV, press 'B' to enter the view mode where you can scroll the mouse to zoom, then when you press 'B' to exit the FoV will be what you set it on.
90 is WAY too high for me... but I am excited that you found this hack. Now to experiment!
There are tons of extra options you can edit in that prefs file, by the way, such as MAX FRAMERATE :)"

Hah I noticed the MaxFramerate as well, def made it higher.

Edit: Hitting B after changing Fov didn't do anything for me.
