Actually, the combat from 3rd person view is almost unplayable, you have no idea what is happening and your reactions are slower.
Believe me I tried it.

I detest that somebody is posting and diminishing the fact that I’m getting ill to the point that I need to walk away from this game, and feel ill and have headache for about an hour afterwards.
THIS IS HAPPENING! I not freaking making this up, so you can just take your idiot judgement and disappear to a hot inhospitable location without air conditioning, aka he77.
As I mentioned when I necro’d the thread, this may have a lot to do with shitty beta framerates, BUT if poor framerate is left unresolved in the final release (I have a GTX 980Ti 6 GB vRAM … etc…) and the first chapter is not going to have a TPV for just moving around (YES leave FPV for combat - no arguement there) then we who suffer will be making ourselves heard with customer support.

Here is my two cents about a Third-Person feature:
Why the fuck not?
It does not matter if it is being used or not, more power given to the player is more power from the game. Considering there is a console (which there is in CryEngine 3), and I doubt they will ever disable it, there is already a third person.
Ref: Cryengine.com
So, I would rather that the devs did official support on this and added the mode, with settings and whatnot, than it being a forgotten command left out and buggy or worse, disabled in the final game.
Not that I think this would require much work. Maybe someone to add the code, tweak it, fix to the game. I think they have enough resources to do this.

Simple , watched the video when in first person combat , and it shacked the camera all over , this will surely induce to motion sickness for prolonged gameplay , its a similar issue some other few games have like the far cry series and the mirror edge one, but its typical of the games that try to simulate. To much with animations and first camera view only .
Wow, you lads get motion sickness? Turn Motion Blurr off. (Although even with Motion Blurr on I did not get motion sick, like, seriously?)
Like, seriously dude, yeah like headache when I had to much to drink like the night before.
Feeling like a broken record here, it could be the crappy framerate, or I don’t what, because I use TrackIR in combat flight sims and other games and that type of extreme motion does not affect me. For KCD it’s all about the FPV game image jerking around when your body doesn’t feel motion input at all, and worse you aren’t providing input even with a mouse (horseback and image bobbing), so the disconnect between the senses/input is the source. I don’t get motion sick on a boat, never have even in bad weather on North Atlantic.
Remember the movie ‘Blair Witch Project’ filmed entirely with FPV handheld? Google Blair Witch Project motion sickness, so yes, seriously lots of people get sick from this disconnect.
I will play in 1st but could imagine to try a 3rd if existed. But lets speak frankly folks, no one has ever said that even if there is only a 1st view in Act1 that there will never be a 3rd in another Act (as long there will come another act). So there is allways some space to hope for an add later when the game overachieves.

Nope, 3rd person wouldn’t be great for KCD! Practically, it will ruin the immersion.

This is just your personal opinion though. Having an OPTION for first or third person doesn’t hurt anyone. It makes everyone happy.
This is a SINGLE PLAYER game. So why the fuck do you care if someone else will enjoy it more in third person? Play your first, I play my third, and everyone is happy.
Dan has said in the past that the TIME, EFFORT, AND MONEY to implement third person would NOT take away from any degree of first person implementation. So there is literally NO REASON to argue against third person. None whatsoever.

third person will not be good because this is the first game that involved first person and sword, all the other first person games are in the shooter genre. if they will make this game a third person game then a lot will be ruined.
They wouldn’t make it a third person game.
They would allow the OPTION to SWITCH between first and third. This is what I personally like to do. I play fallout first person about 75% of the time. But I switch to third person often. It does not impact my immersion or any of the like.

I also think 3rd person should be added as an option, I prefer to see my character, I just think that having the option like many other games would increase the interest in the game to those who shy away from 1st person games. I also disagree with any statement the says the combat would be harder, it’s the same, just 3rd person, the mechanics wont change at all and so I would highly recommend implementing it.

The Character is not user created it is predefined. You can see your clothing in cut scenes and in dialogues which occur often.
and also in inventory

I assume console commands will be available? Detaching the camera from yourself using a console command is common in RPGs. That could work if you want to see yourself, or take a screen shot.
Maybe there is a mirror in a noble mans home. So the dressmans chould look at them self when they visit this home.
I think that is not a pretty sight, because the first flat mirror Originated about 1516. Before that there was Half glass beads which the mirror image heavily distorted

I never use third person view. However, more options always makes a better game.

What? No Polished silver or steel? These make decent mirrors today, not sure why they wouldn’t work 600 years ago.
