I dont really know if this has been discussed to death but anyways, which 3rd person view do you guys prefere, oblivion or fallout 3. I heard that fallout 3 3rd person is supposibly better than oblivion but i never understood why, maybe its because its not in the center so its suppose to make it more interesting but whenever i would try to look at my character in fallout 3 i would have such a hard time. I also wanted to know it would be a cool thing to add a mode where its only purpose is to look at your character, and there you can change armror and get a close up on specific parts of the body.

You forgot New Vegas. Better than Oblivions and F3's.

I preferred Oblivion's 3rd person compared to Fallout 3's, even though Oblivion's didn't have crosshairs.

were you able to spin the camera in Oblivions?

None of the above, really. I suppose Oblivion's if I had to choose, but honestly, Skyrim's looks better than all 3. I can actually see my feet and it's also kind of over-the-shoulder.


Yes.

guess I only noticed in fallout, the inventory kinda sufficed for me in Oblivion

In oblivion, you have to hold down the thumbstick to look around.

What's different between Oblivion's TPP and Fallout 3's?
(NV's TPP was horrid until patched with a mod to correct it.)

All I know is that the fallout 3 one svcked, you could never get a straight look at your character up close.

Oh you're talking about gameplay in the third person... hmm can't really say I'm qualified to answer that question, as I've never played in 3rd for more than a few seconds without turning it back to first person.

I just use it to look at my character.

i feel like a centered camera would be easier for melee, and the over the shoulder style camera is more suited for shooting like in fallout. so Oblivions is better IMO
