We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.

Do you play the game first person or third person perspective?

    3rd person literally outperforms 1st person in this game whether u like it or not.

    First person you have no peripherals but in 3rd u can see completely around u.

    No contest. And if i know someone in my group is in first person im kicking them xD

    I've always used first person. I never really thought about until people called me crazy in a random trial group.

    I play single player ES games in first person, but with ESO I just think it's easier to see what is going on when using third person instead.

    Well, you sound kinda like a ***. You'd really kick someone for that?

    When I am roaming around towns or a somewhat safe area just chlling i switch to first person. Really difficult to do any sort of combat in 1st person tho 3rd all the way for that.

    IMHO, 1st person is far more immersive (and the graphics look better as well) than 3rd person and I do use it from time to time when doing overworld content...

    BUT, you better not ever use 1st person view in PvP; this is a death sentence as I learned very painfully early on in my ESO career...

    Third.

    Used first for about 10-15 minutes and in just the tutorial (older cold harbour one) could tell the game was gonna be a serious challenge in first. As immersive and neat as it is, it reminds me of when fpv came to gta 5. Sounds great in theory and there's those moments/views/etc only it can provide, but you're seriously just along for the ride 70-90% of the time going "I have no idea what's going on".

    I'll switch to it for closer viewings and certain situations, but majority of the time I'll rock third. It also helps me gawk at my characters and it bugs me that in first person your camera is not your head. So your char can be facing away, but your camera is staring right at em. That's useful for creeping on other characters I guess.

    I prefer third, see whats going on around me.. and most raiders will probably agree.

    That said.. Forgotten Wastes and Nzft..sdfasdf have forced me into first person. The camera isnt working very well in third person in those tunnels.
    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.
