why would you want third person anyways

Definitely not, the character animations still look as bland and stiff like from The Forest so there's no way you'd want to see that in 3rd person

Just like the first one, no

Well, as soon as you play with others, you'll see them...

Some people have disabilities that make playing first person impossible. I have severe vertigo and Meniere's disease, 10 minutes in first person and my head is spinning and I'm vomiting.

Yep. Some of us are cursed not to be able to play without it being 3rd person view :(

Me too. I feel sick and dizzy when playing first person games.

I usually can't handle first person in many games because it makes my head spin like crazy, and then I feel nauseous and need to lie down or I'll lose my lunch/dinner.

However... I discovered that when I played Dishonored 2, I didn't feel nauseous at all when I was crouching. Add a skill that let me move faster crouched, and I spent most of the game close to the ground.

Then, I got a free copy of Borderlands 2 from Epic store and used the shortest character... and I found that yes, the best way for me to avoid nausea and dizziness in games was to play from a POV where the ground occupied roughly half my field of vision, max field-of-vision and minimize or remove camera sway, and avoid areas where the ground was rough or rocky.

Playing Borderlands 3 with the shortest character (Moze) and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands as a diminutive Clawbringer just confirmed it: Short characters = bye-bye dizziness for me.

Yes, but it involves having a second person playing using noclip to float behind you and stream his pov to your monitor.

I have the same problem. But theres a way to work at it. Drink Ginger Ale (really, it helps). Sit from the PC as far as you can. Look down on the floor. Change the vew not to often. And, that is the hardest thing of all, play as long as you can. Turn off the game and wait as long as your sickness stay. Can last even some days. These tips helped me. I get still sometimes a little bit dizzy, but its much better than before i did it. Good luck.

Agreed! I can't do it I've tried to do 1st person games many times it just messes with me. I've had a stroke and have dizziness, other balance issues the 1st person just messes me up

I would love to play this with my OH but he gets travel sick in first person. Surely just adding an option for a 3rd person camera would benefit them as so many people who can't play then could play. I understand it would detract from the feel of the game but at least it would be playable for so many more people who can't play 1st person.

Vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition itself. It's the sensation that you, or the environment around you, is moving or spinning. This feeling may be barely noticeable, or it may be so severe that you find it difficult to keep your balance and do everyday tasks.

Meniere's disease is an inner ear problem that can cause dizzy spells, also called vertigo, and hearing loss. Most of the time, Meniere's disease affects only one ear. Meniere's disease can happen at any age. But it usually starts between the ages of 40 to 60.

I read nothing on these pages that say it's caused by playing video games or, that, TPP can cure it. These are common excuses from people who would rather look over walls without being seen and same goes for looking around corners from 6 feet, etc.., away from doorways so they don't get shot at or, seen, as well. However, I do get it in some games where people want the out of body affect to be able to see their character in full.

I know what they are and aren't considered as a disease, it's a condition, there's a difference and it has nothing to do with playing games. I would blame it from playing games on a console all your life that has had third person implemented into it, since day one and not learning how to play games on a PC of which, all games to date, are created on a PC which utilizes first person view. Even the games created for consoles are born on a PC. Third person is only begged for from those who grew up playing consoles therefore, those who aren't used to playing in first person perspective and are always wanting every game converted to third person view.

I'm not being disrespectful or, rude. I have suffered from vertigo myself in the past and it was more likely caused by some of the medication I was taking and after years of taking it, the older I got (68y/o now) I stopped taking it and the symptoms went away. That was six years ago and I've not suffered from it since. I also wear glasses, trifocals & hearing aids and with or, without them, I have never felt those conditions happening to me.

I would suggest going to a doctor and having a check up. Vertigo is condition unlike, Meniere's disease and it's an everyday or not, symptom that's not caused by playing games in first person perspective but, it usually starts between the ages of 40 to 60 as stated above. I was taking meds long before I turned 58 or so, and I never experienced it. I stopped taking them and like I said, that affect went away. If anyone is talking meds for it then, maybe you should stop for a while to see if that helps. Doctors prescribe medicine to make money and they're always experimenting on you, everyone, with new medications , created by new pharmaceuticals that they claim, may be better for the condition you have. Medications have dozens of side effects that can cause more damage than not, even death. In this day and time, if you die, it'll be because you had covid, not because you had some other condition.

Do some research on the matter before claiming that video games cause these conditions to happen and if I were you, I'd review the game better before purchasing it.

Here's a place to start.
