First Person or Third Person preference?

I use first person for combat and when I'm picking up junk and other items, for the rest is third person.

I play almost exclusively in 3rd, mainly because I need peripheral vision. In 1st I feel like I'm in a tunnel and can never find my enemies. I find that I spend far more time in 3rd in Fallout than in any other game though. I don't even need 1st person except when examining things close up.

3rd takes the realism out of it. =S

And playing as if your wearing blinders is realistic? I can see to 180 degrees to either side of me in real life, why do I have to play like I'm looking through a tube? That's not realistic either.

Besides, it's a game, what's real about it?

Fight in First; Explore in Third for situational awareness.

I am not my characters, regardless of what view they're in. :tongue:

So, I go for best gameplay. In the case of Beth games, that means that I play entirely in first person (third has always seemed awkward). I use third for seeing how my character looks, and taking screenshots.

Good for you. I can't play in 1st person. Just can't do it.

For me, Alien Isolation is a perfect example of that. Forced 1st person all the way and it drives me nuts. I can't even play it.

3rd for wandering, 1st for combat, looting and interiors...same way I played Skyrim. Oblivion was 1st all the way because I didn't care seeing my potato person running around.

Most of the time in 3rd person, only reverting to 1st person when I need to accurately shoot something, or a companion is crowding in while I'm trying to shoot...

I enjoy third person in this game more than any previous Beth game. They really made the combat good. Unfortunately navigation is still an issue and I run the risk of falling to my death so have to go back to first person often
