Poll: Did you play bloodlines 1 first or third person?

[Eldrin]

Personally i am a 95% third person player in any game i can. That being said bloodlines 1 i played third person melee and while running around but when using guns for the duration of combat i went first person.

I voted first person. Though wasn't it that you were automatically switched into third when engagin in melee?

Personally i really prefer the first person perspective (FPP), for VtM.
The limitation of your view on what's in front of you, the inability to simply see around corners or above cover without putting atleast your head together with the camera being nearer towards everything getting near to your character imo lends itself rather well to action and horror elements, than the third person perspective.
But that's really a personal preference and i get why people discuss about pivoting heads and field of views and such...

Honestly i dont remember if u were or were not switched, i just play anything melee third person so i would not notice that.

Vastly preferred first-person in the original, only really switching to 3d person for melee or to get a good look at what my character was wearing. IMHO, just more immersive then this invisible camera fairy I can't help picturing for 3d person.

Still, a bit sad the option is gone... but if that means they'll nail the first-person stuff, I personally won't mind the decision one bit in the end.

I'm probably going to stick to TPS in most of the time. I believe in modders.

absolutedly, all game in 3rd person view mode and it is-was greath!

[Aldaris]

Pretty sure the poll is flawed, as you couldn't 3rd person guns and 1st person melee.

Wasn't in the original game, but the fan patch added it.

Given how synonymous that fan patch is with this game, for good and ill, and how many players have never touched Bloodlines without it installed,I think it's a fair answer despite not being a vanilla feature.

First person with ranged weapons and Third person with melee weapons. Well again, I've never been a fan of first person view thank to console games I've started playing at a very young age. I am not worried though - modders will make it work with both third person view and first.

Both.

[Right]

both

[JackBurton]

FP for firearms; TP for melee -- I prefer First-person in most games.

[qwerty]

3rd person all the time.

[wendigo211]

Third person except when using guns. So pretty much the whole game except for the graveyard zombie fight and the final fight on the rooftop.

[alpha480v]

both.

Both i would say because you could switch it by yourself.I hope in bloodlines 2 we can pick first person only because i don’t like it when the game randomly switches to third person in different scenes
