    Maybe they like 2nd person? The thing about 2nd person is you need to BELIEVE to see it.

    I used to prefer 1st person. I grew up on all the classic shooters like Doom, Quake, Unreal, etc. and it was what I was used to. But when I got to Skyrim it was annoying having my weapons all up in my face. Claustrophobic. Plus I wanted to see the character I created. Now I vastly prefer 3rd person.

    And as others have said you can't properly see what's going on around you in this game if you use 1st person.

    actually the other option would be both for those who switch between the 2

    I play both. First person is generally my favorite view in elder scrolls. However, in groups 3rd person is better view to see area effects gotta know when you in that red to move it.

    1st person out of combat, 3rd person in combat. I would play 1st person exclusively but this game isn't designed for it.

    I can't judge anything in 3rd person. Without 1st person I'd never play at all. The lack of 1st person is why I never play my WW.

    To my great embarrassment, I played in 1st person for close to a year (as I have always done with ESO titles). If all you do is RP, quest, and fish, it really doesn't matter. In any actual combat scenario, 1st person is a huge disadvantage. That said, my buddy Denoht has a great video of him healing VMOL in first person. Needless to say, he didnt tell the rest of us until after the deed was done. haha.

    I adventure exclusively in 1st person.
    However if I am doing anything that is challenging or hectic with regards to combat (world bosses, dungeons, dolmens, and trials) I switch to 3rd for the environmental awareness.
    I like combat in 3rd person a lot, actually, but 95% of the time I'm exploring and adventuring and prefer to be in 1st person.

    Whoop, I meant to select 3rd Person and hit 1st. I never use the 1st person POV in this game unless it's for fine-tuning stuff when I'm decorating houses, or to get a better look at stuff around me since it's pretty much a zoom-in thing. The 1st person view messes up my vertigo and makes me feel dizzy and nauseous after a few minutes (especially with the head bob, but thankfully that can essentially be turned off), and the perspective of your surroundings makes it seem like your character is actually really short.

    I actually wish we could zoom out more in 3rd person view since even at max distance it sometimes feels too close to me.
    Character List [RP and PvE]:
    Stands-Against-Death: Argonian Magplar Healer - Crafter
    Krisiel: Redguard Stamsorc DPS - Literally crazy Werewolf, no like legit insane. She nuts
    Kiju Veran: Khajiit Stamblade DPS - Ex-Fighters Guild Suthay who likes to punch things, nicknamed Tinykat
    Niralae Elsinal: Altmer Stamsorc DPS - Young Altmer with way too much Magicka
    Sarah Lacroix: Breton Magsorc DPS - Fledgling Vampire who drinks too much water
    Slondor: Nord Tankblade - TESified verson of Slenderman
    Marius Vastino: Imperial <insert role here> - Sarah's apathetic sire who likes to monologue
    Delthor Rellenar: Dunmer Magknight DPS - Sarah's ex who's a certified psychopath
    Lirawyn Calatare: Altmer Magplar Healer - Traveling performer and bard who's 101% vanilla bean
    Gondryn Beldeau: Breton Tankplar - Sarah's Mages Guild mentor and certified badass old person
    Gwendolyn Jenelle: Breton Magplar Healer - Friendly healer with a coffee addiction
    Soliril Larethian- Altmer Magblade DPS - Blind alchemist who uses animals to see and brews plagues in his spare time
    Tevril Rallenar: Dunmer Stamcro DPS - Delthor's "special" younger brother who raises small animals as friends
    Celeroth Calatare: Bosmer <insert role here> - Shapeshifting Bosmer with enough sass to fill Valenwood

    Third person. One trick I learned when doing treasure maps is zoom out as far as possible to make the mud mound easier to see.

    I only play in first person, because I did in every Elder Scrolls and hate third person view. I would like first person in nearly every game.

    Same. I am unapologeticall in using first person.
