Name edit* First person tweaks needed to improve it

dsalter

i have 2 examples of first person that really push my irritate button, they are simple but get the point across

Example one : why are many destruction staffs held like spears? in first person this is extremely annoying as it just looks awful when you throw light attacks since if standing still the staff jerks up fast to push it down again. don't see this issue with restoration staffs. also buff borders can be quite bright...

Example two : more emphasis on the buff ability brightness, this can be painful to look at sometimes (tho the image doesnt quite show it as bright as ingame) and can really make it hard to even see, why not cut them back abit? i sometimes struggle with noticing dark shard procs if not for the sound this would be very often

..given the stances the character takes, i see no problem with either weapon placement... you sure you just don't wanna look down and see cleavage on ur female characters like you could mod Skyrim to allow?

in third person most weapons are held in a very similar fashion to first person, but many destruction staffs seem to be an exception to this rule and they hold them as if they are spears, giving light attacks a jerky animation.

P.s. i geif no care for cleavage, if i need it i'll play skyrim

I don't believe you. >.>

Either way, the stances (specially the destro staff one) were already changed and improved once, we get what we get for now, they won't re-do their work anytime soon.
And the lights that sometimes get too bright are the only way they have to visually cue you about the currently active buffs.

I just want first person on my horse. That would be fun. Holding the reigns while trotting hard and jumping in first person would be awesome.

Well the thing IS in the game, you just need to poke zeni a bit harder for that ;p

OP: Gina Bruno pretty much designs everything, as well as codes 75% of the game, so that's the appropriate person to contact.

I like the chart you drew and am using it to teach people the new Maw of Lorkaj Trial, specifically to guide the people who go off to kill the thingees in that place behind the purple door place.

The thing I hate most about first person is how when you turn to face something in first person, back in third person you're still stood facing whatever direction you started looking in.

thats because the camera is still third person technically but with a very believable first person illusion

Mojmir

Maybe if you talk in third person like a khajit,while in first person. Ugh now I'm dizzy

You cant see your own shadow in first person either

If you play in first person exclusively for a session, your character will always face the direction of the first person camera. You may notice some players are walking/running backwards with weapons sheathed - this is a result of playing in only first.

I would like to add more and more polished animations to the list of first person demands. Possibly a wider FoV too. Certain animations such as Two-Handed animations were never updated along with everything from the big Update 6 first person revamp. Head bob was added, but there are no separate animations for hit and miss on basic attacks and whiffing a heavy attacking from left to right will force the camera to third for a split second during recovery.

Put your field of view to 130? Helps me as first person enthusiast. But! 1st is really kind of dangerous in Cyrodiil. We should have a forced first person campaign... That would be fun. Makes zerging also more difficult

I like your paint skills.

I want to see my legs and my shadow in first person.
