First Person Horse Riding

I feel as if we really need first person options while we ride on our horses. It really takes out my immersion when I am forced to go into third person every time I mount my horse and ride with the bulk of the camera focused on the world around me. It destroys my concentration and ruins the whole idea of riding into battle valiantly with my eyes dead set on my enemy as the third person horse riding makes the camera pan too wide and makes me lose my train of concentration.

The recent first person PvP server idea really got me thinking about this, as I am constantly having to swap from third to first person every time I dismount my horse and get back on it. The worst of it all is when I am stuck in third person on my horse then get knocked off and have to make the clunky transition back to first person because you cannot stay in first person the whole time on your horse.

I really feel like ZoS needs to take this into a deeper consideration for the whole immersion factor, and I have seen the first person horse riding model before, when I was riding in tight spaces or areas of the sort. It seems like a simple enough fix and it would improve the quality of play and battlefield immersion so much because everything would flow more smoothly and fluidly in Cyrodiil, feeling like the warrior that I am.

Please take this into account, first person horse riding needs to happen.

    I absolutely agree with this. We need this to be an option. Those of us who play in first person are forced out of our deep immersion when we mount our humble steeds. It's absolutely unfair. I vote that we need this immediately.

    Never, the immersive RP community needs to have our way.

    I have seen the first person riding camera as well under the conditions of tight spaces which force the camera into first. What I have assumed the reason behind not implementing first person riding is the dis/mounting animations.
    TES4 had first person riding, but the dis/mounting animations were forced third-person (correct me if I'm wrong).

    I figured this thread wasn't too old... so I'd like to chime in "when is this happening?"

    Edit: sorry just noticed this was in Alliance War. What an odd place to have this thread. (found this on google)
