First person, third person or both

I wanted to start a poll to see if we want third person, first person or a toggle-able choice for wandering about the place, but it looks like we can't do polls anymore (Mods please delete this thread if I can start a poll and I'll resubmit it).

I'd prefer first person as I find third person breaks immersion, for example when I play dead-space some idiot (me) keeps getting in the way and blocking my view. Other than that dead-space is great, I just can't play it because of the view mode.

Edit : Although I prefer 1st person I do not request or condone the removal of 3rd person its just a personal preference, I'm only after a view toggle.

Dev have always said, loud and clear, first person only. Hence the fun and games with the external camera.

The mention of third person in that interview is probably a typo. However, DBOBE's 'vision' seems to have changed so much since the kickstarter, then anything is possible.

My personal hope is that this forum doesn't devolve into huge 3rd vs. 1st person flaming threads just because DB mentioned 3rd person starship interior exploring.

My guess is that we'll have a toggle. I'll probably only play in first person, because of the problems you mentioned (immersion and camera issues).

99% certain that was a typo. 100% certain a huge number of people won't care and will say db lied when no third person mode ever transpires.

Hello there

Personally I cant play any game in third person, so Id hope for a first person view.

That said, I have no issue with 3rd or any other view being put in place.

Each to their own.

It's pretty obvious, you are the ship not the pilot. He means you (the ship) walk around in yourself using the pilots body (third person). I always knew it, the pilot is a lie. Does this make any sense?

Do you mean that in reality I am the free Sidewinder I sold half a year ago? This makes me sad.:(

First person will probably be less troublesome to develop alongside of the new display tech we're seeing start to make it to the retail market. First person will also probably be more "immersive" than 3rd however I'd totally support a third person view option when interacting with stationary objects such as sitting at a bar, or leaning against a corridor wall, things of that nature.
