Will there be third person view?

[NMMG]

Hello you people!

I would like to know if we are able to play in 3rd person view! Not everyone likes to play in 1st person…

So… thats it…

[TobiTobsen]

Fast answer: No! :)… just 1st person!

Camera Options and Possibilities, Not asking for much

I know this game is focused on first person game-play; but i know somewhere out there, there are players like me who would like a Third person camera option. This is probably going to spark up an argument with players who only want first person, but hear me out on this one. My question to you is "What is the harm of adding Third person camera option?" Don't start saying "Oh, don't mess up the game with third person feature! go back to playing skyrim." Whats the harm in it, it wont ruin the gam…

What do you think of first person?

What do you think of the first person choice Warhorse made? Personally I think they should do it in third person or you should have that option. I put gameplay above most things, and think these choices should be made, in function of the gameplay. (The devs have already made up their mind about the first person, I asked them, so don't expect chance, unless this topic becomes an magical unicorn) Firstly, they decided first person for immersion, like most games do. And first person is mainly c…

Hello and 3rd person

Hi I just saw the Kickstarter trailer. The Game looks very good and surely it shows a lot of passion for the Desire to create your vision . SO I decided to donate a small little contribution . I dunno if you will complete the project but if you will the only think I would like ot ask is that you make a third person view, a lot of people suffer from motion sickness and from what I saw in your trailer there are a lot of situations that woudl cause that , from combat , to horse riding etc .

3rd person continuation

Continuing the discussion from Hello and 3rd person: So you prefer to have some people not buying the game and not playing because of the absence of third person instead than having it as optional so that everyone can pick what he likes? I guess you could as well use 1st person only . I do not see where is the issue in that case? Btw I find this forum quite ankward to use , after 19 answers a thread closed?

I see that this issue has been discussed here in various topics and it seems to be done, but apperently there are many people (like me) who would love to see an option of third-person-view in the game.

So, given that this is a forum for the players to express their opinion (to the developers), I’ll do that and say:
I like playing RPGs in third person for the same reasons mentioned in the first quote that @Cappi posted. I like getting cool looking cloth and armour because I can see the hero wandering around the world in it. Why should I buy nice clothes if I cant look at them besides dressing the hero up in the inventory?
Looking down my body in first person view doesn’t really count on this, because thats quite too less.
If first person is necessary to hit enemys in the right spot in combat, then I’ll switch to first person for combat. I don’t have a problem with that.

this is a cost effectiveness issue and an aesthetic vision issue. developing both modes, especially in this level of detail take time, developers have deadlines, sometimes down to individual. they cannot dawdle. because many of the actions, the combat, cooking, etc are very 1st person centric in this game, they will have to put all their efforts making that look good.

so they chose to focus on something rarely done before, and do it very well, and that means sacrificing doing something in parallel to avoid having both features suffer in quality.

Uh, a virtuall fitness! Place to flex your internet muscles with cheap phrase… I see.

[Dekssan]

You will see your hero in cutscenes. This game is designed for 1st person view, nothing else.

I can recommend you some Barbie games which my childs playing if you want, there is a lot dressing you can admire.

[KraKu]

Top!
It would be not good if you have a third person view…

[MadGeneral]

Thats not very nice.

I don’t see where’s the problem in this:

[Wicker]

Realism: In the middle ages, people didn’t have camera drones flying behind them, streaming what they see to your oculus rift.

[MadGeneral]

Yeah, realism would be the acceptable main reason for first person only.

But on second thought its not much more “real” to look at the virtual world on your monitor (which the most of the players will use) through the eyes of your virtual character than two meters behind him.
But I agree with you, its more “real” in the game.

[Wenceslaus]

Yes. Instead they have boxes on their heads to restric their peripheral vision as we do in 1st person view…

[Wicker]

Not if you have 3 monitors.

And even if you don’t, that’s a fairly awful response:/ Peripheral vision isn’t something they can control, but they can control the camera, ans since they’re going for realism… Get it?

[Asgo]

sorry, there are good reasons for keeping to one type of perspective and I don’t mind in this case, but realism isn’t one of them.

[Wicker]

Thanks for not explaining any of these reason, and not telling us why realism isn’t one of them. (sarcasm)

[Asgo]

simple, all the UI interactions already contain enough abstractions that a third person view wouldn’t even raise an eye realism-wise (e.g., input, inventory, dialogues).

But other arguments like work/time spent on fitting it in for any situation (e.g., the intended combat style) might be time spent better on other things.

[Wenceslaus]

Or Oculus, yes but usually people have one monitor.

Awfull? Adeqauate to your example I would say. Third person view gives you near surrounding awareness at least (makes combat feel more natural IHMO). Im not saying its more realistic or better. Just that neither the first person view is thanks to its tunnel vision.

Get it?
