Why can't we have access to first person while mounted????

AmakarGranaen

It is ALREADY in the game, but the only way to see it is to go under a bridge to force the camera to first person.
Why oh why!?!?!???

- Skyrim didn't have it either, which is a monumental Vehk up! What were they thinking??
- Oblivion had it. The criminal scum could escape Wes Johnson on a glorious first person mode!
- The N'wahs in Morrowind didn't have mounts lol.
- Daggerfall has everything of course (except third person lol)
- Don't know if Arena has mounts.

I know there are mods for the PC master race, but what about us, who belong to the console rat race??

Don't leave us lying in our rat dropping, ZOS!

Eso is meant to be played in third person! plus the game is much better played in third then first person. I only play basically in third person as does most people in game.
People in pvp if they really want to pvp have to do it in third person plus the game is not very good with first person as it is in third person. I think a lot of mmos prefer using third person over first. Some don't even have a first person option. In esos beta they did not even have first person from what I know.
They don't allow mods only addons for eso.

There is a mod out that allows you to ride in first person, Immersive Horse Riding. Works like a charm.

Console is screwed, sadly.

Gidorick

I've been beating this drum from almost day one.

ZOS doesn't give a flying guar poop.

Addons already do this..why ask for things from ZoS when many of us already have it.

Seriously @Judas Helviaryn & @TX12001rwb17_ESO ... reading fail much? @Rat-King (awesome name btw!) said in the OP:

Just because there is an addon doesn't mean that ZOS doesn't need to add features to the base game. In fact, the fact that there IS an addon should be an indication that players want it enough that these features SHOULD be added to the game.

Specifically from my personal addon list:
Advanced Inventory Filters
Khajiit Speak
Immersive Mount Riding

In the case of immersive mount riding, there are like... 20-30 lines of code that makes this possible. That should have taken a seasoned coder.. what? an hour to write and test... I actually made a thread about this a long while back asking if ZOS is using addons as a crutch. I think they are.

I only play in 1st person, I feel the game is better that way. I hate 3rd person and wont play a game that only allows it.

I do not disagree, i mostly play in third person, most of the time it is almost a necessity, but sometimes in non-dungeon pve the first person feels so good that you don't care about anything else.
I know this is an MMO, but since they bothered with adding the first person mode, it's mental that they didn't complete the task fully to apply to mounts.

Riding in first person can feel immersive as hell. Mount & Blade games are an excellent example.

Shogunami

First person horse riding and first person locked battlegrounds/arenas are things that people have asked for since beta. Probably wont make their way into the game, which is frankly quite sad

Niaver

I agree, i want 1p while on horse.

Wollust

Just so you know, having that addon allows your horse to run backwards, which looks quite hilarious if you do it with your group. Moonwalking horses everywhere.

Poor consoleplayers missing out on a lot of fun.

Whatzituyah

This is actually one of the first topics I have ever posted. Its actually immersion breaking to go to 3rd while in 1st to beable to mount.

Vaoh

PS4 console player here.

First Person mount riding would add a lot to this game for me. Takes barely any time to implement, and would make so many players happy. Just do it ZOS plz!

KhajiitiLizard

Screw spatial awareness for the sake of immersion!

I love first person games... but if there is a choice between 1st and 3rd person in a mulitplayer game I tend to choose 3rd person, unless you actually have a disadvantage... wait what?

Yes you read that right... In UT2k4 and some other the other Unreal games you could actually play in 3rd person... but then you lack any sort of precision. No auto aim... So I stick to first person. Some of the console exclusive Unreal games added melee combat along with the classic shooter gameplay. 3rd person in melee combat but then you could have it switch to 1st person automatically when you swap to a gun.

Turelus

The thing is the game was originally designed to be played in 3rd person, however because many beta testers and fans from TES wanted 1st person this was added in.

It has always been a secondary thought however which is why it's clunky and doesn't always flow. This seems to be why there isn't a great deal of support for it.

Is your armor that ugly then? You really don't want to see it while rinding? How does this add a lot otherwise?

FTFY.

I don't think it's for anyone to tell anyone else how they "should" play the game... a lot of people (me included) prefer to play in first person.

Luckily I play on PC and use the Addon for immersive riding - otherwise I'd be switching from a natural view to controlling a puppet, which grates.

Krycek89

wait
let me grab my popcorn this is going to be good

Edit: i felt i should add my view but i won't because it will be shot down because it doesn't coincide with the affirmative side of this discussion- it wont be noted by those against what i say nor will it change ZoS' mind about 3rd person horse;
oh btw, from memory 1st person wasn't even included originally,until people whinged and moaned about the lack of- in an MMO no less- go figure right- so i guess be content with what you have and all that...

Wait what am i saying - People are Never content

It's better for you, which doesn't mean it's better for everybody else.

I often used the addon for first person mode on horse while riding from keep to keep. When you're in large group, you don't have to pay so much attention to your surroundings, so you can safely switch to first person and enjoy the ride. Why shouldn't we have that option? The addon doesn't work very smoothly, but I'm grateful that somebody shared it anyway. ZOS should implement first person riding in the game since we're not asking for much and you have no idea how much joy it brings to some of us to ride our horses in first person mode. Nobody will force you to use it too, so what's the problem?

Maybe I prefer to see the mount instead of my character? I love real life horse riding, for example, and it makes me happy to ride horses in ESO in first person mode. How does this add a lot? It adds a lot because it lets me experience at least a tiny fraction of the horse riding in real life. Of course ESO isn't a horse riding simulator, but adding a simple first person mode woudn't hurt anyone, would it?

Leogon

The add-on works well until you wanna free look. It wouldn't take long for ZOS to implement that but then again, we're still waiting for a black werewolf with red eyes skin(which is already in the game) for the Berserker WW Ultimate so don't hold your breath.

AmakarGranaen

I understand if they never add it, since in this one it was an afterthought anyway.

But in Skyrim, which is meant to be played in first person,
they had absolutely no excuse for not having it in the game.

Why Howard, why?!?!?
Dragon Break is not an acceptable answer here!

JD2013

Be happy you even have first person in anything in this game. Originally they didn't, most MMO's don't have this feature. I can't imagine how awful playing in first person would be in PVP.

I simply don't understand how not having this feature breaks "muh 'mersions."

If Zeni want to go ahead and add it then great. But I highly doubt it'll be priority, and nor should it be.

Niaver

@ZOS_GinaBruno
Pls, give us your attention. That isn't hard to do right?

Vaoh

@filthymushroom My armor is on point. I loved riding horses first person in Oblivion. Plus you spend a lot of time on your horse in Cyrodiil between keeps so why not?

Considering it's already coded into ESO, this should be polished and made into a real feature.

@JD2013 Just so you know, there was a HUGE uproar when ZOS announced there wouldn't be first person in this game. If they didn't add it, this game would've died immediately for a massive portion of the playerbase, TES fans. It's fine that you don't use it, but many others do. Plus you might want to remember how cartoony and ridiculous the animations in this game were before first person was added. They had to redo all of them to be much more normal to support first person view.

If we wait long enough, it could happen...

Oh I remember how people reacted.

I remember how people reacted when you wouldn't be able to see all parts of Tamriel on one character. I remember the reactions from the first ever screenshots.

As I said, if they want to put it in, then that's more than fine, and indeed dandy.

But don't expect it to be a priority.

Vaoh

@JD2013 It takes about an hour to add soooo..... I'll give ZOS a year to figure it out based on their record of timely updates.

Realistically, I have almost no hope this will come. Too smart for a company like ZOS to add without it being hammered into their brains by the playerbase. Not gonna happen
