I wouldn′t even mind if 3rd person view was scrapped, I′m going 1st person all the way.

If 3rd person is improved I will be better for melee and intense combat as you get a better view of distance to enemy and it’s easier to see enemies behind and on your sides, probably also better for sneaking and it looks better.
First person will still be better for ranged combat.

I'll still be playing in 1st person, the finishing moves will look awesome in 1st person view

Yeah I cant wait to murder someone while sneaking

In Oblivion I constantly switched back and forth depending on whether I wanted to see more of my surroundings or use an item.

1st person with HUD off. That's the way to go.

I use 1st person in combat, but often for running around in the wilderness or walking about in town I use 3rd person. I like them both.

I've always played in both.

I usually use third-person when nothing particularly "actiony" is going on, because otherwise it's just impossible to aim with anything besides a hue AOE spell. If third-person works better for aiming than it did in Oblivion, then I'm probably going to rarely be in first person. You saw http://i888.photobucket.com/albums/ac87/MartutTES/thirdperson.png, third person seems a lot better now.

But, first person with no HUD looks beautiful too.

Elder Scrolls should be played the way you prefer it. I always play in third person and am very happy with the way it looks so far. Hopefully there are many functional improvements made this time around as well.

Not if you're playing from a "Storyteller" point of view.

I'll primarily play in first-person, occasionally popping into third-person to see how assume I look, and when walking around town.

The cliff part of the trailer has me worried that we still are going to be a floating head and pair of arms in first person though. That really bothers me.

I like 1st person mostly just feels more like I'm in the game.

95% first person for me. The only times I've use 3rd person was when I first switch to a new armour set or cloths, or better yet in Mournhold. I loved looking at myself with what I believe they were called "hands" ebony armour & a enchanted robe on the outside. That was awesome! Some of the battles with multible NPC fighting in oblivion I used the 3rd person view just to see where everybody else was.

From what I see from skyrim I just might start using 3rd person a little more, but at the end of the day it's still a RPG and first person view gets me into that role, as though everything that I see in the game world is through my own eyes.

1st person all the way... Well, almost. I use 3rd person to get a good look at my character, and when walking long distances when I want to keep a lookout. I wouldn't have done this if the game had freelook also in 1st person - look freely in any direction independent on the direction you're walking. Restricting that to 3rd person vanity cam is sheer horror for me. With the notable exception of GTA3, GTA3 Vice, and GTA3 San Andreas, I haven't played any games that doesn't have 1st person. Of this kind, Civilization doesn't count

As a bowwoman (huntress) with a reduced speed for backtracking for the sense of added realism, I sure hope they add freelook to 1st person, or I fear the game will be pretty much unplayable for me.

Yeah, no body awareness is something I fear to. But if I had to choose, I have to say freelook is the most important one. To me anyways.

Improved 3rd person mode - fantastic. I cannot spend any length of time designing a character only to never look at them during the actual game. Despite the questionable implementations in previous Bethesda games, I still used 3rd person mode and will continue to do so for Skyrim.
