Look at this link 1:31 s https://youtu.be/gImB6C-w4Dw?t=1m31s You can see that they have tested game in 3 person view. Animations for fights should be done because you still see your enemys how they move during the fights. Anyway 3 person view could be on when you are walking or riding a horse, in fight it can be in 1 person. The most important for me is to see character when I'm traveling, walking trough citys, villages, that creates nice and immersive feelings. activated
