I switch between the two. While I enjoy the combat stance when the weapon is drawn, it's kind of annoying bouncing around in first person, so I go third for combat.

I'd rather use third person, but the way it looks like it's working now...well let's just say it blows. :swear:

I much prefer 1st, just can't get on with 3rd which is a shame as I rarely get to see my character.

I play only in the 3rd-person POV. I don't play 1st-person games.

First person for combat and cutscenes, third person for exploration and travel.

In previous Elder Scrolls games, I was 100% first person.

In Skyrim I appear to be switching back and forth depending on the situation about 50/50.

Third Person did a lot of progress from Oblivion. I love the camera, crosshair and the way you look at your character. It's great. But sometimes, when I want to see something more "clearly", I change to First Person, to feel like "I'm here, momma".

Third person about 99% of the time, the other 1% is 1st person when I can't get my mouse pointer over an object that I want to take.

TES is and always will be a First Person RPG.

I have other games that I play 3rd person in, because I have to. I'll stick with first person when given a choice.

Switch between them both. I use third person walking and roaming around Skyrim. Then when it comes to combat I switch to first person to get a better view of the action and so I can see the detail they have on each weapon.

I pop in third when I'm sneaking so I can see around corners. But moving around in it can get a little confusing. The movement is clunky enough as it is (I haven't gotten used to it yet) so, mostly first person for me.

I switch between the 2 can't stand fighting in 3rd person as it is at the moment. Then i can't stand running in it either because it sorta feels laggy. I do however admire my character once in awhile.

This! Playing like that since Oblivion, but this time it is smoother and even more fun.
