basically this is the request. being able to play special animations when in first person to check out the cool style you've chosen for your weapons.

i don't really have much else to add so i guess i'll just play a lightning round of contrived arguments against this that i can predict

"this isn't tf2 or cs:go or wow, this is the elder scrolls online: one tamriel unlimited elsweyr summerset morrowind electric boogaloo and being able to play cool animations while in first person view would ruin the unique gaming experience exclusive to this game, go and play (X)
huh okay

what a mundane and pointless mechanic
well then it wouldn't bother you much if it were added i suppose

"No."
no

they should focus on fixing lag in cyrodiil/fixing bugs/making a spammable for stamdk
that's not how game design works

is this less of a thread to request a new feature and more a vehicle to satirically comment on common arguments you see on the forums that frustrate you?
n-no

    Your arguments with yourself feel a tad paranoid, and frankly, odd.

    If you want special first person animations only you can see, I don't see the harm.

    A better request, in my opinion, would be having a first person mode that you could actually play well in first before I started to worry about animations.
    But, that's just me...

    you can have it in... let's say Vermintide

    or some only 1st person games

    as for ESO? why even bother with spending

    dev time with something that would be used

    by 0.5 peson in 100 years?

    i'm not against it...but it just looks pointless

    This would be a good emote in general. In 1st person you could see your weapons without any enchant/poison effects added and see them from angles already existing in the game. In 3rd person it would be cool after killing anything to look at your weapons curiously. I could see it getting used in PvP, as well as after accidentally killing a centipede.
