Shadowborn experiment | Pro tip: Don't use it
All right I always hear about people getting addicted to shadowborn. They say the better FOV is really good and makes the game so much nicer to play. So I am going to play a few games and see what it is like.
Killer: Blight - No perks or addons
Game one: Really weird playing with it. The survivors look smaller and moving around is different. It is a little weird since it looks like survivors up close move quicker, but at the same time I can see a bit more. It is just weird.
Game two: Still weird but getting used to it. But still weird.
Game three: Not really that weird up close. Getting used to it, but things that are further away still look wonky. However this should go away very soon.
Game four: Stale. Honestly forgot I was using it a few times. Still noticeable, but really messing with me anymore.
Game five: Pretty used to it
game six and so on: Completely used to it. It's nice. Allows for more screen making it even more pointless to be juked up close.
After taking it off again: It is weird. My spatial memory is messed up. Movement feels slightly off, things seem slower, and my judgement of how close a survivor is to me can mess up a lot of lunges. Survivors running into me are almost completely lost now. I got used to having a normal FOV and it kinda messed up the general feeling I have for my killers. I am now trying to get used to playing like normal again without it. However it was nice.
I still don't understand why we don't have an FOV filter. BHVR likes to argue that it would give killers an unfair advantage. And it would... only because they would be playing with a normal FOV that they should already have. Not only that but the difference would not be that dramatic and would make playing killer feel much better all around. it is like the color blind settings situation all over again. Just give us an FOV filter already. It is a very bad idea to restrict settings to perks.

As far as I know every game has FOV settings except for this game

Because FOV settings would kill stealth completely

FOV doesn't have to be necessarily high

Stealth wouldn't die if Killers could see normally

We are at a point where people are using reshaders to make killers, Red stains, and survivors glow like the sun. What's a few degrees of vision going to do?

For me it's just a comfortable way to play the game. The Perk does brings almost no advantages with it.
Everything looks smoother and more Dynamic. But as you already said, taking it off feels weird, just gotta get used to it.

The only thing it would affect is stuff like hiding by a window which is already useless against any decent killer that will check their surroundings.

I'd agree to a Shadowborn base kit buff+Shadowborn rework, but I would not like a slider. The Fov should be standard amongst killers for consistency.

I have to use it as i suffer from motion sickness. I feel like more accessibility should always be a thing. I don't care if its basekit or as a slider anything would be better then what we have now.
