Guild Wars 2

Alot of people fail to understand – it would be an option, as it is in every other mmo ever. You wouldn’t be forced. It’s like how they offer third person on skyrim, to satisfy the players who don’t like first. Personally, i find third person games fun, unless the entire point of the game is to be my own character. I feel as though flying behind him is immersion-breaking. When playing a game like mario or whatever, you’re effectively watching a story played out by somebody else, but with these, i want to be able to momentarily be my own character. Even if its just when wandering aimlessly.

I agree that’s nonsense, siliconhobbit. Thanks for posting though.
“being able to see your character” is a terrible reason. I make my character look cool for other people, if i wanted to see my character all the time, i’d put a little picture of him on my wall.
Very silly indeed.

It’s a deal breaker for me unfortunately. I don’t care about anything that’s happening in the game because im too far from it.

I remember in LOTRO i used first person all the time. You controlled the direction the same way you control it in free-view, with the right mouse button. You can also move forward by holding down both mouse buttons. It’s incredibly easy to control.

The game seems fun, but i’m 10 minutes in and i just can’t get immersed in it because of the camera angles. When fighting stuff on mmo’s i usually zoom out, but i want to explore in first person, as i do in EVERY OTHER MMO I’VE EVER PLAYED.
C’mon guys. I don’t even care about seeing my weapon or anything, i just want eye-view camera.
I want to turn off the generic music, zoom into first person and explore the world listening to the sounds and whatever, but noooo….

For somebody who values immersion, i find the lack of first person to be amongst the most important things to be missed.

When is this coming? if ever?
