1st Person View (Discussion)
While i have to admit that the 3rd person view allows for easier and quicker response to npcs actions when playing, I have never felt comfortable with the 3/4 perspective in the game. The problem is that in GW, even if available as an option, the 1st person view is almost impossible to use because of graphic issues with npcs who more often than not, ended being split in two when the player is in melee range, and with the landscape in general due to non-solid backgrounds.
I would like to see a GW2 graphic engine that allowed players a proper gaming experience in first person, without "clipping" or models being cut in half. I mean, as a melee-class player, i would like to have the chance to go toe to toe against a foe while actually being able to see his face instead of watching the scenery background each time my opponent swings his weapon.
- Why this is a good idea
- Gives players a chance to enjoy the world in 1st person.
- By ensuring to have a working and useable 1st person view option, players are able to choose their playing style instead of being forced to a 3/4 view as it currently happends.
- Why it may not work out
- Would look very weird in a mostly hand-to-hand fighting game.
- Players are not used to it.
- A closer, narrower view of the battlefield is a tactical disadvantage, particularly for melee characters.
- Will only work if its an option, because many players like the viewpoint the game presently presents.
