1st person or 3rd person view?

Hey guys, been playing the game since launch on PS4 but first time posting in the forums. This has probably been asked before, but I'm interested in knowing what type of camera view you guys enjoy playing on the most? Personally I enjoy playing in the 3rd person view, but I do like using my bow in 1st person also. Recently tried dueling in 1st person and I was getting completely destroyed lol.

Cheers.

    I love first person, started in it.

    No way can you be competitive in End Game like that though.

    That's a major accomplishment, completing vMA in first person.

    If you complete vma in first person I'll get the alter set up so we can begin paying homage.

    Mostly 3rd person but there are many situtations where its easier to interact with chests, doors, etc in 1st person.

    1st person. That bug that keeps trapping me in 3rd has forced me out of it a lot, but that isn't by choice.

    You can' really heal dungeons in first person view, You have absolutely no overview. Same with pvp. Overall I got so used to playing in thrid person it is weird for me to play it in first person nowadays.

    I need you to ALWAYS be in 1st person mode while in any PvP or if grinding and don't worry if you start dying its an ui error

    3rd person. Don't have the peripheral vision in 1st person. And much easier to cast ranged AOE in 3rd person.

    My one buddy barely plays (he just got to VR7) but is ridiculously good at 1st person. Last night 3 of us, 2 VR16s in 3rd person and 1 VR7 in 1st person completed 4 different Craglorn group dungeons. It amazes me so much that he doesn't die any more than anyone else.

    I guess if you're good at it you're really good at it.

    First person can be really good in tight spaces I have found. I think it would be more useful if there was a dedicated camera switch button so that perspective switching would be instantaneous.

    Porting to another wayshirne should fix it.

    IMO, first person is a gimmick. It's not practical for a large portion of the game.

    The reason i like 3rd person is i have full view of everything that is happening around me...

    I tried 1st person in Cyrodiil and got rekt.... no mirrors so see what is happening behind me.. lol...
