I've always preferred First-Person games, but I was briefly (very briefly) seduced by a cheap copy of Witcher 2 and the game's almost medieval setting into trying it. Not even contemplating Witcher 3. No, I cannot deal with 3rd-person headache-inducing movement or views, nor do I like to mash combinations of buttons to activate a cinematic attack or defence system. I prefer to 'perform' my own movements to attack or defend...or even run away! I've played Fallout 3 and NV although not to completion, and I really love Fallout 4's settlement building. It has brought in a relaxing Sims-style creative break between all the exploration and shooting. Yes, I hold up my hand, I play The Sims for building and torturing purposes, all right? Well, I am a laydee... :blush: . I also liked the Homestead building DLC in Skyrim too, but it wasn't as flexible as in Fallout 4. There are the usual irritations, such as the awful muddled UI for m+kb on the PC, having to alter the .ini for FOV and mouse-smoothing etc, but it is another timesink of a game where I can explore (and loot) a huge landscape with plenty of gunplay thrown in. If only I could have a toggle zoom and not have it hardcoded to the ALT button (who on earth would choose that on a keyboard??) I would be happier, but I'm hoping that future mods will cure everything. Witcher games are not a good comparison, IMHO, as it is a story-driven and movement restrictive game, unlike Fallout games (and others) where you can choose whether or not to do the quests or just bugger off to explore. Plus for die-hard FPS players like me, not a gameplay style that I can handle at all. I can't play console. It doesn't make sense to my brain, unlike the first-person view which is, obviously, a natural one as we all use it in real life. :cool:
