so basically people posting on this topic are
A- people who have seen this topic loads of time and talk about summer's comment
B- people who like to see legs, even hough you should insense see the whole body
C- cats
D- people who like to comment on every post they go into

It looks like you're in group D.

I don't mind if this is in the game or not, I remember seeing my legs for the first time in a MOH game. It wasn't all that great to me... I guess I don't mind being arms + a camera in first person view. :shrug:

I am Rohugh
That kind of language is innapropiate because, unlike summer, based on my posts I have no humour.
Herp Derp

That WON'T like to Rohugh.

Anyway, this is a feature I would like to see. I liked it a lot in Dark Messiah.

There are also Mirror's Edge, Mount and Blade (Warband), Killzone 3, and others I can't think of at this moment. It's not an incredibly common feature, but the absence of it in some other games doesn't come across as a reason to not have in Skyrim, to me. If people like it, then people like it and it shouldn't matter if most games don't have it. :shrug:

Mirrors edge i thought did a great job with it and i love it in certain games...but i dont know if id like it in skyrim. I can see it getting in the way when you want to attack smaller enemies that make it to your foot area also it somewhat limits your vision. And if that were the case shouldnt you also see the top of your shoulder when you look backwards?

Imo could be cool but id be fine either way if it were in or out.

Is that really how it feels to be a woman? No sixism intended but that would feel so weird not being able to see my feet o.O but I guess its what we are used too.

On subject though, not seeing my legs is a bit of an immersion breaker, imo.
I don't know if any of you have ever played dark messiah (if you haven't, its an amazing play) and the first person camera in that game was perfect. You could see your legs, it looked great and helped with immersion.

Of course, you should be able to see your chest too if you can see your legs, and if you can see your chest you should be able to see your arms, and so forth it becomes more complex and hard to do.

Wouldn't mind getting constant cleavage when I'm playing a woman though :teehee:
but in all seriousness, its harder to make properly than it looks, that why even the huge companies like activision can't do it with cod games, etc.

Also id say all these things your suggesting you should be able to see have to do with if your character is just changing the position of his head/neck as opposed to his entire upper body at once. So for that to work they would have to make the game so as your character turned his head(say turned it over his shoulder) then the rest of the body would follow lagging a bit behind. Seems if it got too realistic it would become almost a hinderance.

I have legs but I can't see them when I look down in real life so it won't bother me in game.

OMG u have teh invisible legs

» Mon Jun 13, 2011 9:38 am

Sadly there is the tradition of first person view to not draw the legs, why only? in first person view we have only a head and arms :cryvaultboy:

you mean the lame floating sphere syndrome

you would guess we would grow out of that crap 20 years after the first FPS was invented....

BUT NOOOOOOOooooooooo

some people think its not realistic to have actual legs in FP perspective, I for one think its IN

you hear that ININININININININ Fing INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Nice to see the feminist roleplaying society is still very strong! :celebration:

» Mon Jun 13, 2011 11:03 pm

If I can't see my body in the game I wont buy It. Im serious.

It's amazing how you think your initial post was the pinnacle of hilarity in this forum when just a few posts before summer had posted about her FOV experiences.

Your mind can't comprehend how much I really couldn't care.

I would rather they focused attention elsewhere to be honest.

» Mon Jun 13, 2011 6:30 pm

Nope, when I look down...all I see are boobs. :shrug:

lol

try using you neck

you know the elongated shaft like thing where your head rests if you tilt it down just a little and combine that with the optic sensors you will see the bipedal motion system we like to call LEGS :shakehead:

or try walking and applying the above exercise the wired appendages that keep showing when you step forward are called legs as well

/mean sarcasm

anyways from the video I say its in but one can never know, if a Japaneses kid gets a spazzzz attack playing the game after seeming his own character legs moving, Fox will launch a holy crusade against the gaming industry and the earth will be destroyed ....

Sad to see a legitimate thread go down the drain because of virgins reacting to the word boobs.

» Mon Jun 13, 2011 9:33 pm

If http://www.giantbomb.com/full-body-awareness/92-1692/ games can have it, why can't skyrim? :thumbsup:

» Mon Jun 13, 2011 5:43 pm

Yes of course we'll have legs, seeing them as we walk in first-person that's another story.

I could care less what my legs look like when I'm fighting a dragon.

» Mon Jun 13, 2011 10:48 pm

Halo is the only first person game I can think of the actually shows you your legs.

and dark messiah, FEAR, rainbow six vegas, Left 4 Dead, Turok, Red faction(original) and soldier of fortune, to name but a few

Very good. If that is included in Skyrim, I will play a female character.

» Mon Jun 13, 2011 3:24 pm

Mirrors edge i thought did a great job with it...

Here's the problem with that- Skyrim offers a third person view. Mirror's edge did not.

I finally see the flaw to having legs, picking up stuff. Also looking at it the reason we don't have a fully body veiw in first person is that most games that do tend to have the screen slightly infront of the person in order for the body to not fully get in the way. I believe thats kinda weird, If we want legs or body the fans are gonna want them proper, having just legs is kinda weird (omg I think i'm rayman kinda thing), while full body as summer explained so funny like, suggests that if we did have a full body, alot of stuff is gonna get in the way of veiw, but the main problem is that this is a game with alot of different designs such as different sets of armour, to the info that you can change your body type, plus gotta consider "i'm waering heavy armour chest plate. Its now hard for me too see low down because all I see is chest plate. If I wear a helm does that mean i can't see as much?"
I think my rant has been made with many flaws so taht this thread shall reach locking point

Conversely, the presence of it in a small number of games isn't necessarily a reason to include it.

Honestly, I don't see why it's such a big deal. I have no problems knowing that my character isn't just "a camera and a couple forearms" in the dozens of games I've played that don't show feet.

The only game mentioned where it's actually got a use is Mirror's Edge.... because it's a first-person parkour/acrobatics/platform game. Without the whole "see your body" thing, the game would have been crippled. But in all the basic "walk around and kill stuff with your forearms" games? Meh, I don't see much point. :shrug:

Whats the point of having swords and hands show on screen, Ghost Recon didn't have that and it is one of the best games ever made. Maybe skyrim should do away with hands and weapons on screen. :wink_smile:

Sarcasm, obviously. if it contributes to the feeling that you are actually a person instead of a camera then they should do it.

on topic: it would indeed be awesome if we could see our legs when we look down (boobs with female character

)

I think that would make more people pick a female character over a male

» Mon Jun 13, 2011 1:36 pm

I think the best way I've seen it done is in the old Operation Flashpoint games/Arma. You could always look down and see your legs, and you could use alt to freely move around your head. Sure, in those games it had a tactical advantage somewhat, but I thought it was really cool.

I'm sure it won't be in Skyrim like that, though I would appreciate at least being able to see my legs in first person. It really adds to the whole role playing/immersion for me.
