First person horse riding. Anyone?

mandrakethebard_ESO

Please developers, please give us first-person views for the horse-riding... and for everything. And please fix the glitch that causes me to randomly go into 3rd-person when I'm moving around.

The only issue I'd have with this would be motion sickness. As it is (even with the adjustable FOV) even when I move at a pace faster than stealth when in first person it gives me motion sickness.

If you can handle the motion sickness from riding a horse in first person, then by all means you should be able to do so.

I have never understood people like you, although I have only ever encountered a few. Motion sickness in first person ?! First person is the only way I can *play* a game like this. It's the damned 3rd-person view that makes *me* nauseous. I wasn't ever planning to play this game early in its development, until it was revealed that they planned to include first person.

Only thing I can figure is that it has something to do with the way you game normally. All of you people who've grown up doing this 3rd-person over-the-shoulder FPS games are just used to it. I'm an *old* gamer nerd, and I only play old-fashioned flat-screen or first person. *Please* stop doing things that require me to go to that awful 3rd-person view.

Same for me. I worry that we won't see 1st person mounting because they keep adding mounts and one of the reasons they've said we don't have 1st person mount riding is that it would require high rez textures.

Gidorick

I can't be certain but the new horse skins look a more detailed... might be the light.

The Guar's looks GREAT up close.


Here's to hoping this is ZOS preparing for 1st person mount riding!!!!

Roechacca

Beats looking at the butt all the time .

Caspur

Yes please. I love playing in FPV and hate that it switches to 3rd when riding.

SanderBuraas

Should be implemented. No one likes to be forced to play in a specific camera mode when doing various actions.

Stealthbr

Yes!!!!! I've been sending this suggestion via /feedback for a few months now, but ZOS has done nothing about it. In fact, I avoid using my mount because I hate 3rd person. I would even buy some mounts from the Crown Store if only I could stay in 1st person camera while riding.

Frimbertrips

I would also like this. Screw high-res textures they are fine as they are for now. Is there a way to make an app for this? I'm not picky about seeing my hands, I cant see my feet or chest anyway, what diff' will arms and hands make out of combat?

Anex

I only play first person also and it is quite jarring to get randomly thrown to 3rd person when harvesting, or opening a map or inventory (it often 'flies' across the zone too..).. The horse thing was really awkward in the beginning.. I'm more used to it now, but I would really prefer to stay in the view I choose.

Keepercraft

It will be nice to add this view option to game.

Lolssi

Personally I always switch to 3rd person when riding, but I don't see why they shouldn't add it.

The_Sadist

I get motion sickness after a few minutes of first person, but if it makes a bunch of players happy, I don't see why not.

log234

Add it, I mean if you get easily sick by first person, simply scroll back into 3rd person.
It would really be a nice addition, as it's very immersion breaking to be kicked out into 3rd person because you mount your horse.

Gidorick

Well, it's not in 1.6, maybe we will get it in 1.7!

Gidorick

Come on ZOS! First Person horse riding in version 2.0! Put it in the crown store and have us pay for it!

DisgracefulMind

We, in the PvP Immersion movement agree entirely with this post!

@Germtrocity has been a very big advocate of this much-needed change!

jwboudreau1b16_ESO

Paul Sage has already said that it's something that he wants to have implemented in-game, but it would come after console launch, for sure. This was a month or two ago, I think.

Gidorick

Ok.. so new horse looks great... GUAR looks amazing and the new Senche mount?



AWESOME!!!!!

Argoniawind

Oblivion has it, I'm all for it!!!

CorgiRoo

Well, exactly, why not. I mean, as long as it could be like the scroll wheel from going to first person to third person etc, then I'd be all down for that! A-woo-hoo!

bedlom

For the love of all that is holy, yes please to first person mount riding.

I can only play a TES game in first person, so I never get to enjoy my mounts like I did in Oblivion : (

Hayuru

I don't understand why we can't do this, it's already in the game.

It's obviously possible to do (as evidenced by the screenshots) and, if they really wanted to add the player's arms, it would be a couple of simple animations.

You may ask "why?"



why not?

that was how it was in TES2 Daggerfall.. but horses were kinda useless because of fast travel

Hayuru

We don't even need arms or anything else. Just enable the way it is right now and it's perfect.

SG_Celerrimus

I would love first-person horse cameras.

Roechacca

UI Team policy seems to be "everything is working as intended"

Moonscythe

I always play FP and I loved riding my horse in Oblivion in FP. It was just more realistic for me and I have ridden horses so I do know something about that. Please let us ride in first person. We can walk run and swim that way so why not ride?

I don't understand why they would include first-person for everything except horse riding.

Well, to be fair, they didn't at first. First Person swimming and resource gathering wasn't originally part of the game. Heck... first person itself wasn't part of the original game design.

Hopefully it'll come.

Right, but why haven't they added it already? It seems to already be in the game and functional, after all. I hope they add it soon.
