I tolerate the 3rd person horse crap, just never riding horses, i tolerate the random 3rd person switching when fighting, but now I`ve seen it again!


I don`t get it. Why does Bethesda insist on FORCING us into 3rd person mode?

What was wrong in giving us the option of 3rd OR 1st person?

Decided to join the werewolves and quickly reloaded so i could NOT. You are forced in 3rd person mode.

You weren`t in Morrowind, where you had a choice.

I mean, sure give 3rd person for those that want it, but why take away 1st person choice?


This is another reason why dumbing down and CONSOLES are ruining great games. I see a time when Bethesda games are just going to be totally 3rd person and destroy the immersion we once so enjoyed.

Sad.

p.s. Sorry for the typo but i was so mad i typed too fast.

Cant you switch from 3rd person to 1st person with a button?

1.) What does forced 3rd person have to do with consoles in any way, shape, or form?

Mindless whining again? Pretty much.

2.) This really is not a big deal. At all. In even the teeniest, tiniest, slightest bit. It's really not.

just a teensy bit overblown...

How dumb. Character FoV has absolutely nothing to do with console or pc.

No. I tried. werewolf only in 3rd... Unless i`m missing something.

Sorry people but there`s a reason why Bethesda are FORCING 3rd person and it has to be to appeal to the console crowd. Give me another reason if you think it isn`t.

It`s ruining the game.

Bethesda going console? I lol'd.

Consoles get the game, and that's it. We don't get a PROVIDED map editor, we don't get mods, we get the game. They give you guys tools to customize your gaming experience, and you're gonna whine because you have to gallop around on Shadowmere in 3P?

smh.

Edit: WTH does 3P have to do with console anyways?

How is it forced in Skyrim? Did I miss a memo somewhere along the way? I spend all my time in dungeons in 1rst and only go to 3rd when outside. And as far as for when you're in wolf form, give it time, enough people complain they will fix something.

when in doubt, blame consoles...

Havent done the companions quests yet, but is the OP getting bent out of shape because of cutscenes? Because that's the only time I see 3rd person view (I know it's automatic on horses, but I don't ride them). And serious, a deathblow cut scene is no big deal.

Also - blaming consoles? Really?

Another self righteous ignorant pc gamer, obviously not all pc gamers are like this, butpeople like the OP are what give them the bad name. Stop making yourself look ignorant buddy.Imagine how ridiculous it would look if you were to go into first person as a werewolf sprinting, the horse could be first person, but they didnt feel like it, boohoo? Call the waaaaah police. Blaming consoles for something that has NOTHING to do with them, such ignorance is just disgusting.

95 percent of the game is optional perspective.

Plus, Werewolf kill animations are buggy enough without having to worry about first person.

Would be nice, but has absolutely zero to do with consoles....

I can't WAIT for the first TES mobile phone game, heads will explode.

It`s not a cutscene- you are totally STUCK IN 3RD PERSON.

I think we would of seen less 3rd person in skyrim if they had a character menu.

I can see you haven't spent any time or Perks in the "Logic" skill tree...

hmm, yea i hate the forced 3rd person for werewolves, but why would that be appealing to consoles? o.o

If im not mistaken there has been a TES mobile phone game for years.

edit, yep:

What does this have to do with consoles?

A little bit dramatic.

Okay, I'll accept that as true - as I said, haven't done that series of quests, so can't dispute you.

But what does that have to do with consoles at all?

Ignorant. Morrowind had 1st person werewolf.

I think you`re the ignorant one.

Gonna start this off simply: You're an idiot.

Too simple? Okay. Fine.

This is in no ways a dumbing down issue, or even console-development bias. It's a design decision. 3rd vs 1st person only really affects how well you can see up close an personal details which become irrelevant when you're on a horse or werewolf, could they of added a 1st person option to them? Yeah, but they saw them as pointless when you're riding on a horse or charging as a werewolf due to that those details then become irrelevant as you can't interact with the world while in that state. So 3rd person makes sense as it allows you to take in the world as you speed through on your horse or sprint up to enemies as a werewolf. It was a simple choice not to include it that is completely unrelated to consoles or PCs.

You may not like it, but hey, don't play with it if you don't. And you're even free to come here and complain about how you think forced 3rd person is stupid in a logical manner.

But when you post how it's dumbing down or console bias, when the very notion of that is idiotic, you make yourself look like a [censored].

So in conclusion: you're an idiot.

pretty sure the "console crowd" doesn't give a [censored] about 3p, plenty of great console games are exclusively 1p

lol.. nice premise. "Consoles = 3rd person". DURP.

MIND = BLOWN
