First or third person perspective?

Post » Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:41 am

Mostly first person but I switch to third sometimes to for the occasional sword fight or when just admiring the scenery. I expect with the improved third person view and animations I'll probably spend a bit more time in third person.

I always play in first person all the time. It adds to the realism for me, as this is the view I would see if I was really in that world, third person does not.

I see through my own eyes, so why would I want to be reminded that Skyrim is just a game by having an over the shoulder view?

I can see my whole body with my eyes and whats happening to the side of me with my eyes in RL but I can only see my hands in 1st person in game.
I go with 3rd almost always. I just can't get used to seeing to hands out in front of me like that and when I am fighting with sword or something like that I am never able to correctly judge the distance for some reason, which is really the primary reason for me always being in third. Everything just works better for me.

I'm a first person gamer because I like to feel like I'm in the game. I'll occasionally use third for a broader view but I don't play that way.

3rd but 1st sometimes i don't see the point of creating a detailed liking character and then only being about to see their hands

I play in third-person nearly all of the time.

Both, but first person in combat 90% of the time.

I like BEING my character so I prefer first person. Third person reminds me of people that like to play with dolls...er...I mean action figures :P I will occasionally use it to check out my gear, and of course riding a horse and some of the kill moves switch to it automatically.
