Third Person View

I think on an update it should include the option between first and third person view. I myself like the feel of a third person view, where as some people may prefer first person view. I at least want the option between. Anyone know how to contact the game??

This is nothing about opinion, but something about genre. Normally third person works better for RPGs and action adventures like Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones, while first person works better for (horror) adventures and ego shooters. Generally first person will cause more immersion, but as we know also third person works great for games outside the RPG genre like Silent Hill. And I couldn’t play Gothic, Risen or Elex in first person, I also hated it in Skyrim. But games like Amnesia or SOMA works only in first person. Originally I was also disappointed that Kingdom Come only features first person, but now I like it. I played a lot RPGs in third person, so I am happy to see something of a fresh experience.

Thanks for responding so quickly, I understand but I believe it is left up to opinion or choice, if you will. I would like a choice to choose third person.

Could be like Skyrim, battle locked in 1pv outside battle you select 3rd Pv

Maybe offer a third person view while you are standing still. That shouldn’t be too hard to do🙂 This would be good for screenshots.

you are about four years to late…
The devs have been clear from day one that this would be a first person game.

But I would like the option of 3rd person as a way of looking at the gear we are wearing.
Maybe simply turn on 3rd person if we have not moved for 60 seconds.
(and only if henry is standing in a place where the camera could “move” around him without walls blocking the view)

They only locked the cvars from server side (dll & exe)
And they did a poll about that in the past. It wasnt clear in the first of four years.

For me, it is one of the most weird features i have ever seen in a computer game.
They only need to unlock the cvars that modders can recreate or adding it.

From Kickstarter:
We are sorry, but we do not plan to allow you to control your character in 3rd person view (TPV). You will be able to see your character e.g. in cutscenes, dialogues or in the inventory screen, you can also see your body and hands all the time. We believe that FPV allows for better immersion in the world; we also think that we can make the FPV combat work. Moreover the many of the systems, including combat, are designed with FPV in mind and wouldn’t work in TPV without a major redesign.

No, don’t add partial third person with first person for battle and such crap. We want a solid game that is what it was designed to be. Only add a proper and full working third person option, or don’t!

That is a common answer. It worked to 50% in the beta and now there are some more TPV commands in library. Most are disabled and the restricted console variables unlocker will not help to get it enabled or activated. Sure it was only planned for first person but the possiblity is and was everytime there but needs now the development tools. WH said in the past that it is not hard to implement but the people voted against it. One russian guy on Youtube did it with CheatEngine. And it was very good in his state but not for money.
So no to this…

i believe it is only written that people didnt create a hack/hook/trainer/mod as long the tools arent released. Most time such releases are against the policy of devs/publisher.

Couldn’t you add the option of making yourself third person? Like Skyrim??

What’s the problem with hacks, hooks, trainers or mods? If people want it, they can use it. If not, just don’t use it. Kingdom Cone is not an online/multiplayer game, where this would be a problem.

And Skyrim need third person. It is not playable for me in first person. But Kingdom Come is not Skyrim.

Well I think we, the people who require TPV, should be given the choice to have it.

Problem can be, people creating such a mod and showing something which WH wasnt able to do.
Example, they said on kickstarter,

Moreover the many of the systems, including combat, are designed with FPV in mind and wouldn’t work in TPV without a major redesign.

And one guy did it on youtube^^ So where are these several major redsign work?
I guess there isnt so much to rework. Maybe combat will be a problem but nobody said that you will be able to use the tpv in combat :wink:

But i am no fighter for the tpv^^ It would be cool but not a must have to play the game till the end

Could they add a zoom in feature in the menu screen? I think this would be a good idea🙂

That’d be cool, too :+1:.

I would like to also have 3rd Person Camera, But it would have to revert to 1st person for Combat.
