Guild Wars 2

A first person view feature would be a wonderful addition to Guild Wars 2. This would allow for screenshots to be taken properly, as well as for players to enjoy the game in first person view in general.

I can’t remember what the mechanical reasons for not having it were, but they were good...

If A-net ever works around them, I’d like it though. +0.5 it’s not important, but has half my vote.

There are no mechanical reasons. If there is a mechanical issue with first person view, all one has to do is scroll out to third person view.

Before all of the counter arguments show up, please read this:

I think most of us would be fine with being popped out of first person in combat or even while moving.

It’s not fighting in first person we want. We don’t want to have a “Skyrim clone” as some have said :/

We just want to be able to look at small details (which there are a lot of), out windows and up at jumping puzzles without the nausea of a full camera swing.

EDIT: Oh yeah and the big glaring obvious one: SCREENSHOTS without our /sleeping character’s knee in the picture.

First person for screenshots is a must.
