Add 3rd person as an option

I hear first game was awesome but 1st person is just immersion breaking especially with depth of field feeling with the limited field of view. That's why i never could play it and i'm medieval games nut. KCD 2 looks amazing but without the 3rd person view option i'm not gonna support it. Takes nothing away from people that want to play in 1st person. They can still do that! If not i wish you good luck with the game!

From what it looks like: They seem to have rooted the camera to the bridge of Henry's nose like they did in KCD1.

Headbob removal isn't so simple when that's the method used. It's going to take a lot of work to fix it so that Henry's head doesn't clip into camera view while at the same time doesn't completely ignore Henry's position while at the same time not making Henry's head completely invisible while also reparenting the camera to a different reference in the entity. The camera would have to be programmatically reactive to several things to avoid problems.

Headbob is unrealistic because the brain works with the inner ear to stabilize what we perceive. A stationary monitor doesn't offer that physical interaction.

As for 3rd person, changing the camera's parent isn't a simple thing. Offsetting the camera from its reference is much, much easier, but when Henry takes a tumble, the camera's going to go all over the place.

The game wasnt designed with that in mind. i saw a 3rd person mod for kcd1 years ago and if you go into combat it gets really wonky.

And we are supposed to expereince everything from Henrys eyes anyway
