I'm concerned about the 3rd person point of view

Post » Mon Sep 09, 2013 12:49 pm

I am a MMO player first but one of the great things why I continue to play Skyrim to this day is that 3rd person is the 1st TES game to have a very robust and proper 3rd person feel. Which makes it more MMO like for its combat to me. One of my biggest concerns right now is how the 3rd person view is extremely off centered. I understand you can scroll out far enough to put your combat reticule over the head but that field of View makes it look like you're playing a top down view instead of proper 3rd person view.

I am hoping they add the ability for the combat reticule to always be placed over the head this way I can scroll in far enough to my comfort level to still have that proper MMO 3rd person view.

If not then I hope the Modding community will be able to change this feature in much the same way that http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/37347//? did for Skyrim. That single Mod increased the longevity and fun factor in Skyrim for me by ten fold.

Ever since Gears of War came out every single third person game has been trying to copy it. I wish Zenimax would focus on the first person view like every single Elder Scrolls game before it, they should put their effect into making it better like adding your legs and body in first person and fine tuning the animations to be more realistic.

Some people will never be happy...

They added true first person and it looks great. Leave it alone. :)

I am also very happy with the way they have the third-person view. I like switching to first person when I am talking to people or looking at details, or lining up for a shot with my bow. I save the third person when I am scoping out an area for situational awareness in battles.

They really do need us in beta so we can give them the feedback they need to make everything perfect! lol I too noticed that 3rd person looks a bit skewed and I was hoping it was just me that thought that way. I also am an avid MMO'er and I really do hope there is lots more adjustment to your viewpoint so we can get the one we want/need in ESO.

Nnnnaaahh. This might be a TES game, but its also an MMO. MMOs in first person are less than desirable. The fact that they have both is perfect, no need to focus on one over the other.
