How do you feel about forced third-person?

Post » Sun Jul 08, 2012 5:40 pm

If this topic has already been discussed, my apologies. I'm new to this forum.

Anyway, I was wondering how the majority of people felt about forced third-person view of horse-riding, werewolf transformation, and, now, vampire lord. For me, it's extremely disappointing that they chose to force third-person on us. So disappointing, in fact, that I refuse to use any of those features, because it just totally breaks the immersion of the game for me. I want to play the game in first-person, like I've always played Elder Scrolls games. I don't know if Bethesda has any plans to deal with this later on down the road, but I would sure like if they did. They were able to do first-person werewolf in Bloodmoon, and first-person horseback riding in Oblivion, so why now can't they do this with Skyrim? Anyway, sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining, but this is the one thing that truly annoys me about Skyrim, which is an otherwise amazing game.

Anyway, how do you feel about this? Is this something you would like dealt with, or are you ok with it?

I dont like it as I also find it immersion-breaking but not so annoyimg that I refuse to use any of them.

Also, welcome to the forums.

It's quite annoying once you find your werewolf self unable to be seen by the camera for some reason during a battle... I now never use the werewolf form indoors or in sheltered areas.

I could hardly care anymore what view they are in. I hardly use the horse because the controls are horrible and I find it easier to just run. Also I can run almost as fast as the horse. The only time I use the Werewolf is when I want too go on a rampage with it. Other than that I find it useless.

Doesn't feel forced. It's a video game.
