Hear me out I am a hugeeee Elder Scrolls guy and I know that "tradition" is to play them all in First Person. It's what makes Elder Scrolls what it is...but I am finding it so hard not to play the game at Max Zoom in 3rd person because I feel like I am missing so much when I'm in first person...

All the scenery, the animals, the sword combat actually getting to see the animations, seeing my character and his awesome armor....all these things get lost in First Person mode.

The only thing I have trouble with in 3rd person is aiming at loot. It's really really difficult. Otherwise I am spending more time playing Skyrim from the MMO Skycam point of view. Over the traditional "right way".
