I think at some point you will need to decide whether you can accept the game is FPP focused (both gameplay and most cutscenes) and still want to give it a go, or not. The "TPP" posts on reddit don't really have much traction, maybe a few hundred upvotes compared to thousands in popular threads. I seriously doubt that CDPR will change their whole concept for the game, beyond minor extras like a better photo mode...
I don't have motion sickness, so i can play FPP games, i just don't find them so fun any more, and i play games since ps 1 era

I was talking about reddit cause it has a lot more reach, 236k nodes. Similar for youtube, twitter etc. In addition to size difference, on regular forums without (or with barely used) upvote functionality, you can get a very distorted view how big an issue really is: its enough if a few people don't like something and it can blow up into huge threads. 10 would be more than enough to create a big controversy. Even a single dedicated poster could probably create a seemingly big issue. Those popularity mechanics have their own issues, granted. But they are a better indicator how many people care about an issue than mere thread size.
While i don't doubt there will be a TPP mod, i do doubt it will be very good in achieving what you want from the cutscenes: the main character won't be animated for TPP in a FPP cutscene, so you won't have mocap movement, facial expression, body langage etc if the mod just moves the camera. But who knows, maybe some very dedicated modders really get into it deeply and can provide all that... just doesn't seem likely.
Yes you will, and i'm happy for you if this helps. But a mod has different quality requirements than a TPP mode provided by the devs. TPP by devs would be crushed if its not on the same quality level as FPP, and they would need to split their time, animators, UI etc. between both modes while also compromising their own vision how they want the game to feel and play. Hoping for FPP gameplay mod is perfectly reasonable, and i hope the devs don't make it very hard for modders. Demanding TPP from the devs despite their vision/mission statement/early FPP announcement is what i'm having trouble with. I mean, i just cannot see this happening, the devs are long past the stage where such a decision could be made...
For sure, this is a very real problem. Depending on the site you choose to frequent, you'll likely remain in an echo chamber for one opinion or another. Reddit is, IMO, an extreme of this case where people are silenced for differing opinions (or so it seems, I've never actually made an account).
Nothing is easy, that is life, no one say it going to be easy for them, none job is so easy.
Don't know what ells to tell you other than I hope someone is able to make a mod for you to play in TPP because otherwise you won't get it.
This. I've never pre-ordered a Far Cry game so I cancelled my pre-order for this one. It might surprise me next year, but looking at the direction they are taking I don't think it will.
This whole perspective debate is super strange to me, truth be told. I would buy it no matter if its first person, third person or isometric, single character or party based, real time, rtwp or turn based combat. Sure, i have my preferences - but as long as its has CDPR quality in setting, writing, storytelling, reactivity, choice&consqeuence etc. it's an instant preorder.
It's not about perspective anymore. That just made me look harder at all the stuff I'd been ignoring since my first day pre-order. I just am not confident it will be an actual RPG anymore and not just an FPS with some RPG elements.
