Ugh...1st person???

[Badsin]

In this day and age you need to give options. What is the point of getting gear, etc. if you don't get to see yourself geared up? Need 3rd person option please.

We have stated that 1st person is the primary focus, but we do want to provide a 3rd person option.

That's good to hear!

Seriously Devs, keep in mind that even "Cyberpunk 2077" faced massive criticism for not implementing a TPP-option.

Seeing your char moving and fighting in some newly obtained gear is a must in games like this nowadays. Just facts.

Thank you devs, for reading on here and for your response. I personally hate 1st person, but I do admit that there are times when that perspective is necessary, like close examination of an object/puzzle. That's why having the ability to toggle between 1st and 3rd is so important. Plus, it's fun. I hope it will be a toggle in this game.

Again, thank you devs for paying attention and for implementing this feature, however it works.

No, we dont.

Daggerfall didnt have third person. Arena didnt have 3rd person. Morrowind didnt have first person, but did have a rotating camera view. I dont think Oblivion had 3rd person either. The 3 best games in the series did not have 3rd person. Didnt need it. They said this game will resemble Daggerfall. If it doesnt have 3rd person view, it will still be one of the best games. But hopefully it will at least have a rotating camera view like Morrowind so you can get a good look at your character. And that is all I would want. First person view is all that is needed and is a big part of the immersion. Just because there is a loud minority clamoring for 3rd person view, doesnt mean it would be a good design choice. If a game is really outstanding, the lack of 3rd person would be overlooked by all. Its not gonna be a deal breaker for anyone.

I can go with either 1st or 3rd person, doesn't really matter to me.

Glad to hear 1st person is the priority. More immersive for me.

[scottz63]

1st person only for me.

Well, that opinion is fine for you. However, no harm comes to you or your immersion with there being an optional 3rd person view.

Daggerfall and Arena were 2D. Morrowind has first person it is the default perspective. Oblivion has third person. Did you even play these games?

Yes, we do.

It is 100% necessary. An absolute buy-or-don't-buy criterion not only for me but many, many other players.

Who needs these 1st-person-only games? It's the year 2022... seriously.

Let's not argue about this. Different people prefer different views and we want to offer both, so the problem is solved.

Let's be honest. Telling people on the internet not to argue is like asking the tide to not come in.

Well, so far we have been lucky enough to have had really great community members and we like to keep things positive. We understand sometimes things get heated because people are passionate. We just ask that they don't get too heated.

Personally i prefer 1st person but having both 1 and 3rd will be best. Technically Arena and Daggerfall was both 3d with 2d sprites.
