Uh... Driving in TPP is A LOT easier, although I'd prefer first person simply because of the immersion (in GTA5 and most racing games). Feels a lot more like actually driving a car.
immersion of controlling /watching a little sprite on screen via drone camera.
Fallout and Skyrim FPP is utterly ugly, the low res right in your face, the swing in the air no contact sword play, the ghost floating camera disconnect from the character, horrible. In third, Combat is excellent, particularly with mod overhauls, now bow's are still great to switch to FPP but the rest looks incredible watching your character in the lush terrain run around, fly and do whatever else that looks like crap in first person. See little homie, it works both ways.
Well, if we consider that this game is an action rpg (on the paper, at least), we can assume that not much detailing is being put into the driving part of the game, do you agree?
Yeah...except that it's not true because the animations are absolutely horrible to see in third person and the combat is garbage because it's designed for first person and doesn't translate well in third person camera.
Oh, and you know what's more, on top of that?
Yeah - I fully agree with that. But you know how it works... Internet and stuff...
I mean, I've been a forum member and fan here a long time before I was a moderator. They absolutely listen to fan feedback. That does not mean they have to or should do everything we ask. Nor is it a good development model to make design decisions based on opinion poll. They actually have the game, they've seen it and played it. They probably have a better idea of which perspective tells the story they want to tell than we do. In addition, even if they wanted to "appeal to the masses" rather than make the best game they think they can, it's not even clear what the majority opinion is of the gaming public in this particular debate - so there is an issue there to start with.
How is it compromising their vision if it is optional, though? If the zoom out/in button can be toggled in the menu, there is really no reason why it would affect gameplay in any way if it's a separate feature from the normal FPP
It's because they want to know what the real underlying problems are and if there are solutions. People get motion sick? FOV sliders and head bobbing options /motion blur options seem to help some people. People want to see their characters? They said there is a photomode planned, and now they most likely will get it implemented. They will take these things into account no doubt, so the feedback is useful
I guess not all ideas make a cut for real masterpiece dream rpg and sadly option for TPP is one of those ideas which didnt make into the game, not to compromise Your Deam RPG!
Why is it disturbing? if the driving, at cutscenes, in menus, and possibly in many more things is TPP then it's FP/TP mixed.
if they can implement it separately without having to change many aspects of the game, then sure I agree with you they should do it. And thinking about it maybe they will add an "explore" mode like someone mentioned, who knows.
