A suggestion to improve first person mode

Hello all, this post is mainly aimed at ZOS but everyone is welcome to discuss and share their thoughts. I'm pretty happy with 1st person as it is but I also think it could be improved. I know there is not many people using it and I agree that it's not a smart choice for PvP & trials, but some of us like it even if it's just for questing and soloing.

Right now if you use 3rd person you can hold your mouse wheel and use it to move your camera without altering your character's movement. You are free to rotate the camera wherever you want and when you release the button it will go back to the direction your character is heading. A common complaint with first person mode is that you can't turn around your head like you would in real life but you are forced to turn your whole body. Now, if this command would work in 1st person the same way it does in 3rd you could indeed turn your head around while you run or whatever, and have a much better field of view.

This already works in World of Warcraft (and I know WoW isn't supposed to be played in 1st person). If you hold your left mouse button you can turn your head in any direction and still walk straight, then when you release it will go back to the front. I'm not sure how hard would this be to implement but I feel like it would be a great improvement for 1st person :)

Thanks for reading, see you all in Tamriel!

    No MMO outside should be played in first person, even eso. They actually have a really good first person for it being a bad choice.

    They should also make it more obvious when in first person mode when you're standing in red and when a projectile is coming your way when in first-person, those are some of the bigger reasons why first-person isn't that great.
