    Simple for me, i look at this as a MMO not an Elder Scrolls game. Difficult to play well in first person and would get destroyed in PVP doing it. But if somebody enjoys first person then good for them as long as they are having fun.

    I like to explore new environments and walk around my house in first person. But anything combat related is done in third person, no exceptions.

    When I'm solo and feeling silly, I go first person. Can't do it for too long, though.

    A majority of the time, it's third person.

    Third person because as I got older I started getting motion sickness from first person. Can no longer play FPS. Probably not a big deal as the chat is usually so toxic.

    It's so bad sometimes I can't even play Minecraft. Super annoying and also the reason I'm not even remotely interested in VR.

    Third with first only when the BS camera focus stops me looting things.

    The focus point should ALWAYS be where my target reticle is, not where the camera is placed (behind the character)

    @uzbachchi - you can play minecraft third person. My son calls it "F5 mode" if that's a hint on how to do it.

    Yeah, I can, but find it really awkward, especially when trying to open chests and craft. When my kid wants me to play I usually pop a compazine beforehand. Luckily he's moved on to other games for the most part.

    I'm also unsure if it's also got something to do with us playing on console and having a bigger screen than a PC (which is what I used to play FPS on ). Can't afford gaming PCs for one of us, let alone the three gamers in the family, so we moved to PS4 several years ago.

    I initially played in first person. But after wiping with a group a couple times to Gamyne Bandu, I switched to 3rd so I'd be better aware of my surroundings. I usually prefer first person, but third works better for me in this game.

    Seriously, the game looks awesome in 3D but it really shines when you run in 3D and 1st person.
    Some of the dungeons are spectacular!

    I have gone back and forth between the two over the years. I am currently doing third, but I still find some combat easier to manage in first.

    98% of the time I'm in 3rd person.

    I'll occasionally go into 1st person if I'm trying to do something where my character is in the way, like loot containers inside one of those small tents or place small decorations in a house, but other than that I stick to 3rd person.

    Which is odd because in other TES games I usually go into 1st person in any enclosed space (especially caves) or for combat because I find it easier.

    Depends on if I am farming or stealing/pickpocketing - sometimes I need to get a first person view for one reason or another, howver 99.5% of the time I am in Third person.

    Third person. Hard to see what's coming and what's around you in first person. Third person always. The only time I switch to first person is when I want to get more detail veiw of something.

    First person looks bad in this game, not only that, but you are less aware of your surroundings, meaning that in both pvp and pve you could be killed by something you didn't see.
