Never. Always been a 3rd person view type of girl in previous Elder Scrolls games.

Whenever I am not in combat. So, during exploration and general movement around the wilds as well as cities and crafting stations.

When I PVE and do quests I do. But some of the weapons look awkward in first person.

I explore in first and fight in third. All handled automatically.

I use it in Cyrodiil, horseback, and when farming resources. Otherwise, first person, even in combat. I like to get up close and personal with my kills, but Cyrodiil needs more situational awareness than first person offers.

I never force the first person view.

In the unique occasions where I could appreciate is when I find myself in reduced spaces.

Pretty much never

For exploring the world and zones= First person is beautiful and amazing.
For combat and situational awareness= Third person really must be used unless you have become extremely skilled with visual cues.

I play in PvP far too often to go into First Person. Third person makes it much easier to see and grasp the world around me than first and react to it fast enough. First person only lets me experience and enjoy the world...

If possible, I would enjoy some fixes to allow first person to be used in competitive situations effectively without decreasing possible situational awareness.

Basically anytime I'm not fighting.

Wish I had 3P view IRL; having it only in ESO will have to suffice so I certainly take full advantage of it there.
Except if i want to examine something as closely as possible or when I take a non-selfie screenshot.

Never, need to be able to see those pesky adds which have just respawned at the side.

Very, very, rarely .. I don't know how people can play this 100% first-person when fights require 360 'vision; I guess it's 'realistic' not to be able to see behind you but I prefer playing the game rather than endless rezzing at a Wayshrine due to being nailed from behind.

I use it all the time when i'm alone in pve or pvp but when i need to be good ( dungeons trials or guild group pvp ) i just use the 3rd person view.... you know red circles and stuff...

I play ESO for playing an elder scrolls game. I've always played in 1st person with the occasional zoom out to just look at my chars. That said, I'm not about too be an ass on difficult fights in dungeons, so I will swap to 3rd person to avoid uneeded dying or getting people killed. Otherwise it's all about immersion for me.

Would love to see some body awareness in the game (see you own body in 1st person) but more to the tune of games like Tribes, Arx Fatalis, Dark Messiah MnM or Chronicles of Riddick. I don't mean full-camera-bobbing-stomach-churning-crap that most people assume it "has to be" when others ask for body awareness.

The problem with 1st person in video games is lack of peripheral vision. It never renders the way it really would in reality and has a tendency to make me motion sick. 3rd person gives the bigger picture and makes many tasks easier in my opinion.

Always except when taking screenshots. 100% first person player going back to the original Wolfenstein and Doom; can't orientate myself properly in 3rd person as it feels so unnatural. This is one of the reasons why I don't PvP.

Almost always, TPP makes me dizzy (literally). But I do PvE most of the time, and I indeed think TPP (and I switch the viev when fighting in a large group) is much better for PvP.

all the time (other then when forced in to 3rd person) Sure it is not as good as 3rd person for seeing the markers but once you learn it actually is quite fun and makes the game a bit tougher.

I've tried playing in first person, however, for me looking up and down is just way slower compared to looking left and right.

No matter how I change the settings I can't seem to get this right, and it ends up annoying me so much that I just switch views again.

henryabelarwb17_ESO · March 2015

I like to solo some lower level dungeons in first person

changes the game completely. Would really like to see an achievement for it, Like an instance would be locked in first person and we would get more points for completing it that way or just another achievement to add to the list

I don't use it for long usually but I do use it often. First person is fun when doing quests alone, makes the game feel a bit more Elder Scrollsy.

Never.
Couldn't care less about it, personally.
However, I'm glad it's there for people who enjoy it.

I played in 1st person view for years (the previous ES games), and in ESO I switched to 3rd person a few months ago (I never thought I ever would) just to check out some skills and their visual range etc. .. I don't want to go back to 1st.

michael_bimson · March 2015

When I started in ESO I used the first person view all the time because it was how I played in the single player games, but in group content it is more useful to play in third person to better see AoE attacks and healing, general positioning etc.

Skayaq · March 2015

Third-person when running around, first when fighting solo, and third when doing group content.

I don't use it as much as i would have liked to
