Third - Person?

[Rappeldrache]

Hello,

will there be Third-Person? Or only First-Person?

Thanks and Greetings

Think it's safe to say they do not have third person considering there's no character creator and it's supposed to be a blank character. We don't have much info on that though.

AH THANKS A LOT!

Sad for me. But Good luck for the game!

Yeah that’s a no from me too I just can’t get on with 1st person games. Shame really.

Why would anyone want a game like this in 3rd person??...i don't get it. this game is clearly about Immersion..which you dont get from 3rd person at all.

Never understood the 3rd person view. Why would i feel like staring at myself from behind all the time ? Constantly blocking my view ? Am I that delicious ? Also many 3rd person games have a janky control. Total immersion breaking.

I really didn’t mean to start the annoying third-person vs. first-person debate—I just wanted some information. But I can’t leave this uncommented: Believe it or not, there are people in this big wide world who simply have a different taste and a different perspective on things. If you don’t understand that yourself, that’s totally fine, but you don’t always have to comment on it—especially not when it comes across as… let’s say, a bit condescending and passive-aggressive.
Additionally, there actually are people who suffer from motion sickness (and no, I don’t want to start "that" usual discussion again either) and simply "can’t" play in first-person. If someone wishes for a third-person mode in a game, it doesn’t hurt anyone.

And as for the argument, "The developers could spend their time on other things,”.
I can counter that with: If they use their time on something that attracts MORE players (e.g., people who prefer third-person or struggle with motion sickness), they make more money from the game and can provide better support.

It is a major job to add Third person to a game that was built with only First Person in mind, they can add something in but it will nearly always be janky same as doing it the other way round as well Third Person adding First Person. the graphics, level and character design, movement all support one or the other, rarely both.

For me, i think 3rd person always the best for open world. Because we gonna have better view overall (front, back n side) and of course vertical view. 1st person is best in cramped space or area. I did use both in Skyrim and Fallout game for different situation. It is so easy to say to have both in a game would be the best.
However, it is hard to do. But what i dont like is when Dev giving excuses saying "1st person is more immersive". 1st person is just zoomed view of third person and all the time u can only see your weapon. U cant really see your footing and u cant really see or sense your side n behind as well compared to 3rd person.
As for 3rd person, u gonna have btter control and more view for your character. In real life we have so much wider view and we can even sense whats coming at our back. 3rd view also give additional enjoyment to custom your character, cool animation, n awesome outfit or armor.
With 3rd person u can immerse in the world n the character that u play. coz u hv btter view for the world and better view of your character in term of how they look, fight, move, interact, etc.

No, I can't. So, stop speaking for others, understood?

I can't immerse myself when I am clearly somebody else in that game, period.

If you are one of those who need to "play" somebody else ... so be it, but I wan't to experience the adventure by "myself" to be immersed, and I am no immersed by being a puppeteer for a 3D model running in front of a camera.

No third person! No thanks .

[novaCD]

Thankfully it is 1st person only.

[parachuteinfantry76]

I wouldn't get too worried about no third person option because if you remember the last Fallout didn't have it and it was added in an update

Just the opposite for me. No immersion as a walking weapon.

Ah yes, 1st person immersion: seeing disembodied hands or arms moving at an angle and in a way a regular person would never see IRL.

Also in roleplaying games you roleplay a character, not yourself. Part of the beauty of the experience is creating the character you roleplay and being able to see said character, the gear they wear and so on.

1st person only people are basically FPS kids that have no idea what roleplaying and RPGs are. Also it's so much easier to make a game first person only, which is why many devs opt to do so, using the unfounded and stupid excuse of "b-but it's more immersive". No, it isn't and never will be.

I agree with playing as third person. I want to create my character and to wear different outfits and build it into the world of the game. It's sad that I won't play it as it looks amazing. Happy hunting to all the players that do chose to go with it
