flguy147ub17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Third PersonSimple 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.5

uzbachchi✭✭✭Third Person@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.0 -

✭✭✭✭Third PersonI 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.

1st person + nVidia 3D glasses = AWESOME
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!
PS: I do run a mod that allows me to disable the cross-hair as it is rendered in the 2D UI plane and looks completely out of place in 3D.

Danikat✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Third Person98% 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.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!
