Do you prefer first- or third-person perspective?

Post » Mon Dec 19, 2011 9:14 am

D'jinn prefers third-person. She understands the immersion of feeling like you really are your character in first-person, but D'jinn finds herself quite immersed already, and in third-person she has a much easier time seeing everything around her.

So D'jinn asks, which do you prefer? Any particular reasons why?

1st person when fighting. Third person when walking around.

I mix and match. I used to be all 3rd person and now I reckon I'm 50/50. First person fro archery and sneak attacks. 3rd person for regular fighting.

I prefer neither, since I use both about equally. Give us an option to vote both and I'll gladly add my vote to this poll.

I was trying to play in 1st person for immersion reasons, but I actually find the graphics look better in 3rd person for some reason, maybe its because its zoomed out more and the textures don't look great up close. Also, I tend to get loads more finishing moves in 3rd person for some reason, not to mention I get a bit of a laggy mouse and lower framerate in 1st person if I'm near a flame, but zooming out to 3rd at any level of zoom makes the mouse perfectly smooth and the flame lag go away. :huh:

First person for archery, third for everything else. The far superior visibility makes any tradeoffs in immersion or whatever worth it, I still get svcked right into the game no matter what lol
