Do you play in First Person or Third Person?

Tornaad

I was curious to see the split and maybe hear your reasons why?

Godeko

First Person

98% Third Person, I guarantee it

I freakin failed it... I meant third person ofc.

flguy147ub17_ESO

Third Person

Simple for me, i look at this as a MMO not an Elder Scrolls game. Difficult to play well in first person and would get destroyed in PVP doing it. But if somebody enjoys first person then good for them as long as they are having fun.

I like to explore new environments and walk around my house in first person. But anything combat related is done in third person, no exceptions.

When doing heists or sacraments I always use first person, the rest of the time is mostly third person, though zoomed in as far as possible.

Oompuh

Third Person

As far out as possible third person, more awareness to whats around you

When I'm solo and feeling silly, I go first person. Can't do it for too long, though.

A majority of the time, it's third person.

Hand_Bacon

When on my khajiit, fourth person.

Third Person

Second person

uzbachchi

Third Person

Third person because as I got older I started getting motion sickness from first person. Can no longer play FPS. Probably not a big deal as the chat is usually so toxic.

It's so bad sometimes I can't even play Minecraft. Super annoying and also the reason I'm not even remotely interested in VR.

Browiseth

Third Person

first person is for those weird people that don't want to play a video game

99% Third person . 1% when tanking and there is a wall right behind me .

Turelus

Third Person

Third with first only when the BS camera focus stops me looting things.

The focus point should ALWAYS be where my target reticle is, not where the camera is placed (behind the character)

@uzbachchi - you can play minecraft third person. My son calls it "F5 mode" if that's a hint on how to do it.

Yeah, I can, but find it really awkward, especially when trying to open chests and craft. When my kid wants me to play I usually pop a compazine beforehand. Luckily he's moved on to other games for the most part.

I'm also unsure if it's also got something to do with us playing on console and having a bigger screen than a PC (which is what I used to play FPS on ). Can't afford gaming PCs for one of us, let alone the three gamers in the family, so we moved to PS4 several years ago.

I initially played in first person. But after wiping with a group a couple times to Gamyne Bandu, I switched to 3rd so I'd be better aware of my surroundings. I usually prefer first person, but third works better for me in this game.

When I'm farming materials, enjoying the landscape or decorating my house I use first person. When I'm fighting, third person is the best option for me.

Play in third, only go to first for screenshots really

1st person + nVidia 3D glasses = AWESOME

Seriously, the game looks awesome in 3D but it really shines when you run in 3D and 1st person.
Some of the dungeons are spectacular!


PS: I do run a mod that allows me to disable the cross-hair as it is rendered in the 2D UI plane and looks completely out of place in 3D.

Muramasa89

Third Person

Used to be first person. Until I kept tripping up on every little rock while trying to kite so I went to third, never looked back.

I have gone back and forth between the two over the years. I am currently doing third, but I still find some combat easier to manage in first.

Danikat

Third Person

98% of the time I'm in 3rd person.

I'll occasionally go into 1st person if I'm trying to do something where my character is in the way, like loot containers inside one of those small tents or place small decorations in a house, but other than that I stick to 3rd person.

Which is odd because in other TES games I usually go into 1st person in any enclosed space (especially caves) or for combat because I find it easier.

TheUrbanWizard

Third Person

As far out as possible. Nearly quit the game when I first started cos I didn't realise you could zoom out. I hate the default over the shoulder view

mesmerizedish

Third Person

I cannot play a roleplaying game in first person. It makes me feel like my character doesn't exist.

Damianos

A mix of both (please explain why and what determines when you switch)

Depends on if I am farming or stealing/pickpocketing - sometimes I need to get a first person view for one reason or another, howver 99.5% of the time I am in Third person.

AcadianPaladin

Third Person

Third person + 3 'clicks' out additional distance. As a healer, I like the increased situational awareness to better see friendlies and foes alike.

Cêltic421

Third Person

Third person. Hard to see what's coming and what's around you in first person. Third person always. The only time I switch to first person is when I want to get more detail veiw of something.

That's awesome dude. I'd like to see it. But 3d glasses bother my eyes after awhile can't keep them on the entire time through a movie.

Third Person

First person looks bad in this game, not only that, but you are less aware of your surroundings, meaning that in both pvp and pve you could be killed by something you didn't see.

I used to play mostly in first person but then I started buying outfits for my character so now I play mostly in third person because I want to see what I paid all those crowns for.

People actually play in first?
