Guild Wars 2

This is such a beautiful game, and I find it to be such a shame that we can’t zoom into first person view so that we can take screenshots of the scenery without our character being in the picture. First person would also allow us to aim the camera in all directions (just like a person can look all around them).

Plus, I think it would be awesome to be able to run around in first person with the UI turned off (best to do in a safe place like a city), and experience the world through your characters eyes. This is something I’ve done in other MMO’s, and it really allows you to appreciate the time and effort put into creating such beautiful artwork.

I suppose there are other reasons for first person view, like small rooms that shove the camera around, but these are my reasons.

Folks have been asking for this since BWE1. ANet knows about it and apparently it’s on some list of things to do, but I don’t think it’s very high up. First person view would be great, even a godsend if you’re a norn trying to do jumping puzzles. But I don’t expect to see it for a while. I am looking forward to finally taking some proper screenshots.
